[GPSCC-chat] call for agenda items for Thursday

Tue Jun 26 07:30:50 PDT 2012

Proposed agenda item:

John Thielking would like to discuss possibly adding his Peacemovies.com newsletter and a booklet version of the newsletters compiled from 2012 (due out Jan 2013) to the items available for sale to the Green Party (statewide) for resale. I'm still researching what the final cover price for the probably 100 page booklet might be. I will likely be able to make it available in hard copy form for a wholesale cost of $2.50 to $3.00 with a cover price of $5-$7. I'm waiting for the results of my survey questions that I have posted on my web site www.peacemovies.com concerning what price people are willing to pay for the booklet. I also need to double check with Maple Press (the local printer who is giving me such a great deal on booklet printing) to see if they can (or already do) print on recycled content paper, and exactly what the extra cost might be, if any, for recycled content paper. The booklet should also be made available as a shareware pdf, with a
 request for a $5 donation from each user accessing the file, to be split 50/50 between John Thielking and the Green Party (of Santa Clara County? or State?). The 6-8 page newsletters could be made available for free as pdfs on the web site or printed out in a staple-less format (which gets picked up more often than a stapled version) for a wholesale cost of 50 cents each.  The cover price for those is currently $1. The flier version (1 sheet double sided) of the newsletter that three of us handed out in front of movie theaters last weekend could also be made available for free as a pdf on the web site.  Or I can get them printed for 8 cents each, plus tax (at cost).  I would need 10 minutes for this item.  No final decision is needed at the meeting as the details are not finalized yet, but I would like to discuss the proceedures if any required for statewide distribution of my work. (We could also discuss wider distribution of Spencer's fliers too
 as far as that goes.)

Thanks.

John Thielking

This is the next to last call for agenda items for Thursday.

However, I do request that when submitting an agenda item that you
1)  include which direction is intended  (e.g., basic information, status report, action to take)
2)  the outcome you wish to see.
3)  the time needed for the topic

Thus, for each of the items submitted to date
those three points still need to be addressed

Tian:  discuss regional rep situation (?)    discuss for the sake of discussion?

Caroline knew she would at least report on Health Care for All Californians
and might have more after attending one of their metings

Brian Good:  California DICSLOSE Act.
Move to Amend (corporate personhood)
Rural revitalization based on above campaigns.

> Spencer:  Foreclosures: Desired Outcomes:  (1) Discussion and approval if possible of a tri-fold asking people to contact their representatives in the California Assembly and Senate asking for their support for the Homeowner Bill of Rights with s a script to be provided separately.  (2) I'd also like help working this issue.
> Status report:  Foreclosure Summit tentatively scheduled for Sept. 9.  2 speakers recruited;  want others consistent with "Fighting Foreclosures 3 Ways" at occupy.pbworks.com (http://occupy.pbworks.com/w/page/54013671/Fighting%20Foreclosures%203%20Ways).  Also, information compiled on the status of pending legislation regarding the "Homeowner Bill of Rights" also at occupy.pbworks.com (http://occupy.pbworks.com/w/page/54691519/Homeowner%20Bill%20of%20Rights).  5-10 minutes

Spencer:  Training in "Computers and the Internet".  Desired outcome:  Get feedback on the level of demand among all the organizations that use the Peace Center for relatively informal training sessions on computers and the Internet -- including Wikipedia and "occupy.pbworks.com", a WYSIWYG Wiki.  General Purpose:   If there is sufficient demand, I would be willing to help organize one session per month on this topic.  We could establish an email list for this to which people could contribute questions that could be answered in future sessions.   (5 minutes)  

So I ask for a resubmittal of those items that include the three elements
general purpose, desiredd outcome, and time needed

Here are other items that were submitted and follow those guidlines
