2012 05 25 Planning Meeting

Ephemerisle Planning Meeting February 25th Agenda:

• Someone here wrote about "leaders"? We've previously described ourselves as an event without leaders (like Burning Man was from the early days until 1997). If we're to change that, we need to have a big, serious discussion and decide if it's necessary. I (adam) would personally prefer if we continue forward without any leaders and really encourage people to step up on an individual basis. Radical self-reliance and all of that.

• Review what worked and what did not work doc.

• Stuff to get done:

• City design & urban planning

• City assembly & anchoring

• City disassembly & anchor removal
• Transport for large projects
• Central platform assembly/disassembly
• Central platform usage scheduling / administration
• Boat ferrying (some guy at H&H willing to give rides for \$10... need to investigate)
• Safety/medical (Fr33 aid?)
• Art
• Radio station
• Wiki gardening
• Toilets

• Encouraging & funding art projects

• Dedicated space for docking of speedboat

• Photos of lead(?) personnel so others can identify them?

• Lots of people want to come but all boats are rented... what are some good alternate solutions?

• The MEDIA question. That was the one big point of controversy from last year, and we need to decide what to do.

• Role of "captains" and "captain's meetings"

• City design

• Two - F, 3, - What will current be doing?

Candace has friends who have boat

• Need craft/platform section on the wiki. Sailboats should declare their existence if they want to join the city (Chris Rasch) - desire for noisy/quiet spaces
