Changes to the Crew

Neil Coplin
Okay, there have some been a few changes in the crew in the past few weeks, and we're about to give you all some more. Hosh and I are planning another First Nighter. We'd like to open up membership starting about June and get another white class going. Target areas for this membership drive are going to be High Schools (per normal), User Groups (Central Ohio Linux User Group, Columbus Computer Society, etc.), OSU, and other Youth Groups. Of the High Schools, the ones we'd like to contact are: Upper Arlington, Hilliard, Dublin, Worthington, Westerville, Bexley, Gahanna. We've made up a list of deadlines that we MUST follow to pull this off sucessfully.

May 2 - Have made all the initial contacts to schools, etc. and have a draft of any fliers to be passed out.
May 9 - Have final draft for fliers done and have a draft of the first nighter schedule.
May 16 - Have any presentations scheduled with time, place, and date. Have final schedule for first nighter done.
Late May - Have the presentations scheduled for around this time.
June 13 - First Nighter
June 27 - Start the White Classes
July 3 - Last Day to turn in Registration Forms, membership closes.

We will also be having extended progress checks on May 9th and 23rd so we can make sure that we get the desired results and to give any help needed. The First Nighter will be on June 13th.

Our overall goal is to have 50 members in the Crew come next election. During this membership drive, the goal is to have 20 new members. This means we have to get about 50-75 people to show up to the first nighter.

We will go over this in more detail come this meeting Tuesday.

First Nighter Flyers

Ho-Sheng Hsiao
We are making two types of flyer this time around. We'll take one, and post it around OSU, and then take the other and post it around the schools, suburbabn libraries, and suburban recreational facilities.

Please send feedback. I'd like Nabeel, Jason, Ian to go over the one for the school and let me know what could be improved.
