<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi Dom,</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I've added the "olpc-uk website" item to the agenda.</span></span></div>
<div><br></div><div>The olpc-uk project is still in its infancy, we will have to prioritise and focus<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; "> on the 20 percent that is really important in order to get things moving on the "publicity and media" side. This is what the meeting seeks to extrapolate, elucidate and then enunciate. We can "work smart on the right things" as the saying goes. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">The purpose of the meeting is to discuss what work/areas such a team should be covering, and then discuss what we could, realistically, work on right away. </span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><div><br></div><div>I should add that I only work on olpc related matters on Wednesdays and Fridays.</div>
<div><br></div>We'll chat tonight. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br clear="all">Best wishes.<br>

Hi Faisal,<br><br>Nice one, it would be good to get moving on the public facing side of the OLPC, are you and anyone around in London to have a design/planning catchup/pint and thrash out all the details about getting the site rolling.?<br>
<br>I'm good for next wednesday... Could mix the virtual and realworld using EVocam or something to share with those unable to physically attend, as to be honest, starting the planning always works best with bits of paper, pens, wifi and a few laptops and all being in the same room with lots of coffee.<br>
<br>What would also be very, very useful at this stage is for everyone to identify (list is good, short list is even better) the who, what and why's of the OLPC-UK site, that gives us some starting points for thinking about what we're going to achieve. <br>
<br>Glad to hear someones started looking at branding and identity, have you got any early work to post?<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Dom Baker<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/15 Faisal Sadeq Khan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:olpc@sadeq.me.uk" target="_blank">olpc@sadeq.me.uk</a>></span><br>

<div><span style="line-height:19px"><br></span></div><div><span style="line-height:19px">To get things moving I have started work on a facebook group and a logo. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-style:italic"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-style:italic">Logo</span></div><div><span style="font-style:italic"><br>
</span></div><div><span style="border-collapse:collapse">I have looked at the various logos used by country specific olpc community organisations to get an an idea of the logo we could use for the OLPC UK group. To ensure a neat look I want to keep the olpc "branding". The whole idea of a logo is to ensure that it is instinctively recognisable, indicate it's origin. I am not too keen on steering away from this. I did'nt really like the logo used by olpc-france, by way of an example.</span></div>
<div><span style="border-collapse:collapse"><br></span></div><div><span style="border-collapse:collapse">My brother, who is an DTP expert, will be giving me a hand and I will be working on a few more logos.</span><br>
</div><div><span style="border-collapse:collapse"><br></span></div><div><span style="border-collapse:collapse"><span style="border-collapse:separate"><div>
<span style="font-style:italic;line-height:19px">Facebook</span><br></div><div><span style="line-height:19px"><br></span></div></span></span></div><div><span style="line-height:19px">The facebook group is intended to be used for forming and fostering a supporter community. I have not opened the facebook group yet. Will discuss during the meeting on Wednesday.</span></div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><span style="line-height:19px"><span style="font-weight:bold">The facebook and logo are work in progress.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-weight:bold;line-height:19px"><br>

<div><span style="line-height:19px">It is intended that the outcome of this meeting would feed into the main OLPC-UK meeting the week after.</span></div>
