<--back to Oakland Wiki Meeting Notes

People:

Dennis, Lani, Julio

Agenda

Action items from previous meeting

  • Dennis: Follow-up with Peralta Hacienda event (see below)

Peralta Hacienda engagement

  • Dennis talked with Peralta Hacienda staff and they invited Oakland Wiki to take part of their Cambodian New Year event on April 20
  • Dennis pursuing an editathon hosted by Peralta Hacienda in the future; trying to find a good date.
  • Lani suggested we ask them if they want us to host some of the oral histories from their exhibit What I Hear I Keep: Stories from Oakland's Griots
    • We have to investigate audio capabilities first (Julio)
  • See their events page for details

Linking of Books

  • Lani brought up the legitimate concerns of using google books as the main resource for literature that we link, when we don't know how google is using our information in the cloud.  Instead, we should try to use OPL resources or other alternatives:
  • Julio explained that many of these books are only available through google books, but shares the concern. Users of Oakland Wiki should at least have a choice as to how they would like to consume this material.
  • As a compromise, we decided to create pages on Oakland Wiki about the books the we reference in places like Books on Oakland with a variety of ways to access that resource, and any and all detail OW users would like to add about the book.

Action items for next meeting

  • Dennis: Ask Peralta Hacienda about power and Internet connectivity for the Cambodian New Year event to see if we can set up editing stations for the event April 20
