| * Raising money through merchandise sales - In addition to the merchandise sales at the conference, the group discussed the possibility of selling generic, non-Evergreen merchandise that may be of interest to the larger library community. | * Raising money through merchandise sales - In addition to the merchandise sales at the conference, the group discussed the possibility of selling generic, non-Evergreen merchandise that may be of interest to the larger library community. |
| * Project membership - Kathy asked to revisit the idea of Evergreen memberships. The memberships wouldn't be tied to voting rights or use of the software, but would provide a way for organizations to provide funds to the project. When Outreach tried raising funds for exhibit booths, at least one state-funded organization said it was difficult to spend money on donations, but it's easier to make the case to pay for a membership. There was some discomfort with the idea of membership. We might want to consider using different language to describe the funding opportunity. NPR was recommended as a model to follow. Kathy said she would work with Ron and Amy, who had previously volunteered, to explore this idea further. | * Project membership - Kathy asked to revisit the idea of Evergreen memberships.

| * Outreach committee target audience and mission - [[https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=outreach|See original charge]] (15 minutes) - The original charge for the Outreach Committee has expired. The mission has also changes, as a large part of the original goal was to fund conference exhibits. We discussed the idea of expanding the charge to include outreach to current Evergreen users as well as those outside the Evergreen communities. This outreach could include encouraging community participation from current users and helping them with local meetups. The consensus was to incorporate this audience in a new proposed charge that needs to go to the EOB. | * Outreach committee target audience and mission - [[https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=outreach|See original charge]] (15 minutes) - The original charge for the Outreach Committee has expired.
