Speakeasy

Here are the "official" updates from previous meetings:

• the online mag will be titled SpeakEasy with the url of www.speakeasymag.com
• Caren Baginski is heading up the Content Department
• there will be six different sections of SpeakEasy, officially titled:
  (1) On the Green -- Meghan Louttit
  (2) Event Calendar -- Ellen Cox
  (3) Staff Columns (Blogs) -- Jen Sickels
  (4) In the Limelight -- Anna Marie Finley
  (5) From our Readers -- Jen Edse
  (6) Culture -- Sara Goldenberg
• Katie Gill is designing our style book for SpeakEasy.

Agenda for today's meeting:

• Meghan Louttit and Liz Gray will be doing a quick presentation on tips for writing for the web and specifically for SpeakEasy
• Section editors will be splitting off into groups with those interested in being on their staff to establish contact with one another and develop an action plan - this will also give the design team a chance to get together.
• The last 10-15 minutes will be spent with Section Editors only
  

A note to the editors:

• Cara and I would like some kind of "timeless" content for each section and sub-section by March 11th. This will allow us time to work with the design team and CMS in order to get rid of any bugs.
• We would also like everyone to submit a more "up-to-date" piece by April 1st. We want to have as much content as possible when we launch the site on April 4th.
• Each section will need to be updated at a minimum of 2x each week once the site is launched, so remember to look for for good story ideas.
• Also, look for good photo and possibly multimedia opportunities.
