May 10, 2009: Dia de Madre

Daniel, Adam, Joey, Miles, Lauren, and I were on the call this evening.

Hosting

Discussion looked forward this week as Miles summarized the latest in the late fee policy, which states that as it stands right now, late payments will be compounded 2% each week. Miles also noted how he thought it would be nice if Joey send out a weekly email regarding who is missing payment, missing contracts in order to make the hosting needs meet with that of finance.

Also, the need to have a site monitoring service was brought up once again. Miles confirmed that one should definitely be in place by the fall when CoPress will be launching many more sites. Adam suggested possibly using AreMySitesUp.com.

Organization

Discussion was light this week, with Daniel and Adam confirming that the bylaws need to finished up by the 19th for the Board of Directors meeting on the 31st.


Operations

Adam suggested that since weekly area calls have fallen by the wayside these past weeks, we try updating the team with weekly emails and scaling back on weekly calls. Also, 24 hour support has been an issue with some college newspapers who are considering CoPress. Adam suggested phone.com to create a phone line for CoPress for as low as $10 a month.

Editorial

Posts for this week, include on Monday a list of upcoming internships that will be of interest to students, on Tuesday a post on requirements for a Web Editor Position, on Wednesday ‘This Week in CoPress,’ a roundup of college media this year and looking ahead, on Thursday a post on differtiating your publication, and on Friday ‘We Clicked On.’

Community

As Greg wasn’t present, conversation in community was light. However, the group discussed having a survey asking the community what we’re doing right and what we’re doing wrong. The forum question this week will be: For those working with WordPress, what sort of challenges do you face with workflow and what ideas do you have for improving those flaws?
