Code Sprint
* Need updates for next meeting!

Call for Maps
* Barend volunteers for jury duty and other help (sort of obliged to, since I call myself Cartographer...)
* Ken has produced a doc which is on basecamp. The big thing at the moment is the logistics around a digital display. Talking to OS to see if they will take a sponsorship lead to shout about it and perhaps supply some big monitors. Also chatting to CASA about the ipad wall.
* Idea is to have this as a continuing background thing where folk can mill around and see the maps.
* Will be a judging session and an award session.

* can everyone think about their travel and enter their arrival times on basecamp (new doc titled F2F to be set up)

Publicity (Marketing & PR)

* Press release - enquiries email set up as a central point.
* RH suggests adding a page on the main site that has press releases/media contact or something
* RH/AS happy to help write them
* Claire happy to send them out
* BUT - who to send them to... we have a massive list of possible recipients. AS has a google doc of where he sent the last press releases.
