At the end of all the presentations, there will be 25 minutes of brainstorming/discussion.

Add your ideas of how the meetings should be structured here:

Meeting leader rotates every week.
Meeting secretary rotates every week.
Each meeting will get its own wiki page.
Before the meeting:
- People post topics they want to be covered in the meeting
- Once topics identified, someone (voluntarily or by appointment) is chosen to give a short presentation on topic to teach everyone
- Presenter posts on meeting page: (1) how much time they will need to for presentation to help in meeting planning and (2) the presentation, at least a day ahead of meeting
- Meeting leader creates an agenda for meeting and posts to meeting page
During the meeting
- Leader directs meeting and keeps meeting on time
- Secretary takes notes directly on meeting page

See 1/14/09 meeting page for an example.
