- come up with a user-friendly way of looking at OWW statistics
- Focus of OWW over the next 6 months should be the promotion of open science and use of lab notebook

Next month:
- Talk about chairs and how to group different members around different areas
- Each month, SC to come up with a samll, fun activity that can be picked up by a new member.
- Lorrie: better organization of action items
At the root of it, we need to convince people that they can be an active part of a community, and the being part of the community has tangible rewards.
