Hi Davisites<br>
<br>
1) PR Efforts<br>
<br>
Ducks are being lined up in the background here over this last
month. Here is a list of some things volunteers have accomplished. <br>
<br>
- We now have a logo, a vinyl printed banner of the logo.<br>
<br>
- We have a draft of a long form talk for service and community
groups. <br>
<br>
- We have social media links on our test website, and a paypal
donation mechanism. <br>
<br>
- We have one letter done for the Enterprise.<br>
<br>
- We have checked the DFM regs for having a table and are ready<br>
<br>
So its time to get out there, and talk to our community, and build
excitement for this coming project. <br>
There are 2-3 more things that need to be in place before we hit the
communtiy as a whole with the news, but those should be relatively
easily done by the first week of June. <br>
<br>
Following our aforementioned published PR plan we will be tabling on
Saturdays at the DFM throughout the month of June, and <b>NEED
VOLUNTEERS</b> to come and populate the table, eager and excited
about community-owned fiber broadband.<br>
<br>
Please see the document here: <a href="https://goo.gl/xFFYgu" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/xFFYgu</a><br>
<br>
and sign up to take a shift. If you are ambitious and have time
there are some 2-3 tasks left to do, plus please free to add any you
think are missing in the PR area. <br>
<br>
2) DCN as a Fiscal Agent for this project<br>
<br>
DCN volunteers have created a draft MOU Agreement to be the Fiscal
Agent for our efforts. Part of the PR effort of course involves
raising funds to get the project rolling and approved. They have
moved that a seperate General Ledger account be created specifically
to recieve and distribute funds for the effort to make community
owned broadband fiber a reality in Davis. <br>
<br>
Please contact me off list if you are interested in being part of
editing this draft from the Davis Gig group. I'm exempting myself,
from this as I'm on the DCN board. <br>
<br>
We also need someone willing to authorize and sign to it as a
representative of Davis GIG, the ad-hoc citizens committee. <br>
<br>
3) Fresh Website<br>
<br>
A new version of the site is available at <a href="http://www-test.davisgig.org" target="_blank">www-test.davisgig.org</a>. <br>
This was also done to make the front end of the site more easily <br>
maintainable by the current web team volunteers. The backend has not
changed.<br>
This has incorporated Davis imagery, social media links, and a
counter.<br>
<br>
You can now donate through the paypal link button. Please do so, so
we can purchase <br>
PR materials from local Davis businesses.<br>
<br>
I'd like to invite everyone on this list to please take a look, and
donate what you can.<br>

4) Meeting in June? <br>
<br>
Anyone want to have a regular meeting? My thoughts are, there will
be a lot of effort put in this month, so perhaps we should just see
how it goes with the outreach, see if people signup, and if
donations begin to roll. <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
