REPORTS

State of the Onion http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/State_of_the_Onion
Kathey reports: Fundraising group has spun off from PR; has been meeting weekly to create a coherent longer-term plan, synthesizing materials from council brainstorms and General Priorities page. Next meeting time is currently up in the air; email funding@ to find out when the next meeting will be. One element of the process will be interviews. Look at the discussion page on the general priorities page.
