===List of things that most need to get done on OWW right now===
Figured this might be a good way to start to specify the things we'd like an OWW employee to work on.
(in no particular order - please add!)
*Tutorial pages (how to start a new lab)
*Help pages
*Information management
**Categorization, Semantic web
* Getting more funding
** writing OWW concept paper for circulating with potential sponsors.
* Surveys, 'market research,' figure out what people want/need
* Maintain a calendar of conferences, workshops and events relevant to OWW community (calendar idea mentioned during last SC)
* Develop the Directory of people and improve visibility on available ressources/skills within OWW community (maybe linked to categorization)
* Being able to develop MediaWiki extensions would be a 'nice-to-have'
* Spokesperson for interacting with media / external parties
* OWW software distribution / private wiki roll-out


==Possible dates==
<div id="mainpage">
As decided at the last SC meeting, we'll be holding a seperate meeting to talk about hiring someone to work on OWW full/part time using the money available from the NIH grant.  We'll need to decide what sort of background we're looking for / can reasonably find.  If you're interested in contributing to the discussion but can't make the meeting, please write me (jasonk at mit dot edu) an email with your thoughts.

New OpenWetWare Managing Director hired!

From an email to the OpenWetWare Steering Committee on January 7, 2008:

Hello,

As most of you know if you've looked at the OpenWetWare homepage or called in to recent steering committee meetings, we've had a search open for a second full-time member of OpenWetWare team. After launching a new search for an OpenWetWare managing director in the last few months, we've extended an offer to Lorrie LeJeune. And we are excited to say that she has accepted.

Lorrie will bring a diverse set of skills to OpenWetWare. Most notably, she's worked previously both as a laboratory research scientist at Collaborative Research, Inc. (now Oscient Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and as an editor at O'Reilly Media, Inc. for all of O'Reilly's bioinformatics books. She even drew the artwork on some of the O'Reilly covers! Lorrie will officially begin work full-time at OpenWetWare on February 4, 2008.

Many of you had an opportunity to speak with Lorrie at a previous steering committee meeting. You'll all have a chance to speak again with Lorrie at the upcoming steering committee meeting on Thursday January 10, 2008.

Please join us in welcoming Lorrie to the OpenWetWare community!

Thanks,

OpenWetWare Board
