# Overview

## Headlines
* New strategy for projects call: once a month, a larger community call will take place. It will have a longer timeslot and will give a broader overview of what’s going on in the OKFN. It will be open to all.
* The fortnightly projects call is *cancelled*.
* We will need a new technology, as the group is likely to be too large for Skype.

* Meetups on Wed, Thurs and Fri in Berlin this week. If you have contacts in Berlin who’d like to meet the OKFN team, please invite them!
* There will be a meeting at the new OKFN Germany office the following week
* The final deadline for OKFestival submission proposals is June 2nd. The ten 2012 festival themes have already been decided and will be shared on the OKFestival website by the end of this week.

* No wolfpack call next Monday (bank holiday)

## Events
* Wisis Workshop (line 14) [LN] – Daniel attending this to present Open Government toolkit, to double as OKFN ambassador

## Agenda
* 2 minute Updates (feel free to type in the ## updates section while people are doing their introductions)
* WG coordinators can add themselves to:
* How should these calls be organised?
1. Organisation
* Today only Hauke is non-core attendee, but this is the only opportunity for him / others to discuss projects with rest of team
* It was agreed that meetings should be less often and that occasional face-to-face meetings are useful
* HG doesn’t see need for distinction for volunteer / core / WG / etc – need to keep openness within organisation. Updates not necessarily useful on weekly basis but overall bigger picture useful to know
* One Monday per month for broader organisation update generally agreed, although noted that it’s a meeting-heavy day; people will need to be clear on purpose of call and plan what they wish to say to make it efficient
2. Technology
* Mumble?
