Summary:

  1. Send out an email announcement of the meeting (and optionally identi.ca / twitter as well.)
  2. Run the meeting, using #topic, #action, #idea, and #link as much as you can remember to.
  3. Document the meeting, posting minutes to the design-team mailing list and to the wiki.

Step 1: Announcement

We usually have an email announcement sent out to the list the night before or the morning of the meeting.

  • Check out the last meeting's meeting notes for topics & action items and update the email template with them.
  • (optional) Send out a meeting announcement to identi.ca. Here is a sample:
    • join the !fedoradesign team today @ 1930 UTC (2:30 pm ET) for a #Fedora 15 wallpaper sketch party! #fedora-design on irc.freenode.net

Step 3: Documenting the Meeting

Here's the email template; obtain the meeting minutes links from what meetbot spits out at the end of the meeting. If you forgot to copy/paste and don't have scrollback for those links, find them at http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/:
