* Publicity<br />
** Reddit AMA<br />
*** Agreed to schedule for next Friday from 21:00 to 22:00 CEST.<br />
*** Agreed to keep in touch on Jitsi during meeting to coordinate who is answering which questions. Video call to start at 20:45 CEST.<br />
*** JE to advertise on [[news.groups]], {{news|alt.fan.usenet}}, and [https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet r/Usenet]<br />
*** RL to advertise on Twitter<br />
*** TM to advertise on Facebook<br />
*** TM to produce advertising blurb. <br />
** Open Collective Newsletter<br />
*** JE found [https://docs.opencollective.com/help/internal/newsletter internal documentation about the newsletter] but this seems to be for the administrators; JE to get in touch with Pia about getting featured per her suggestion<br />
** Open Collective merchandise options<br />
*** JE reported he couldn't find the merchandising page we discussed before. But it should be possible to use any company for T-shirts, etc.<br />
*** JE reported that direct PayPal payments to our Open Collective are complicated/expensive as the system is in beta; it would be better to find a company that would pay directly into our European Open Collective account. JE to try to find one that does SEPA payments.<br />
* Administration<br />
** Dead groups survey/removal<br />
*** JE: Report on past procedure/policy pending<br />
* Infrastructure<br />
** RL reported that our PGPMoose setup on Panix has warned us that our own "List of Big Eight Newsgroups" post on [[news.announce.newgroups]] is a "possible forgery" due to an incorrectly formed X-Auth header, and that this appears to be a recurrence of the problem we discussed from 21–27 September 2020. RL wrote to Russ Allbery but has received no response yet; will write to Todd now.<br />
** TM reported on Paul Schleck's suggestions on {{news|news.groups}} about the Board's activity.<br />
** Paul also wrote by e-mail to alert us to a problem with news propagation on Panix from 7 to 12 May. This explains the delay in the Board's recent announcement to [[news.announce.newgroups]].<br />
** Paul also alerted to us to an offer by Panix of resources for STUMP development.<br />
** TM to reply to Paul and to write to Panix asking for details.<br />
** RL wrote to the uk.* folks regarding the STUMP fork and is awaiting a response<br />
* Misc<br />
** JE: no response from Ronda Hauben<br />
