Reminder of purpose: TWikiOrgRenewalWorks2008ToDo is to define the content of the new (and redesigned) pages.

Action items:

3. TWiki.org Performance

• Champion: PeterThoeny
• Supporting topic: NewTWikiOrgServer2008

• PeterThoeny: Update NewTWikiOrgServer2008

• SvenDowideit: I'm pretty certain that I had TWiki 4.2pre running faster on the t2000 server (previous generation server) I was playing with last year - perhaps its time to let the other TWiki.org admins help out?

4. TWiki Meetups

• Champion: AmirShobeiri
• Supporting topic: TWikiMeetUps

• MartinSeibert: Call hotel and make sure, that short presentations can be held during the meetup. Maybe a conf room is suitable? Ask for pricing ...
• MartinSeibert: Create blog entry for TWikiMeetUpInBerlinGermany.

5. Merchandising

• WillNorris: Create more designs for the TWiki-Spreadshirt-account.

Decided:

• Will becomes the new champion for the merchandize. Peter as trademark holder has final word on logo use, but will take a liberal stance.
• Will's designer will shortly provide new designs

6. Brainstorming for ideas

• Action item: PeterThoeny: Explain why there is a need for a registration on twiki.org. I do not want to change anything. But we have to give reasons why a registration is needed. (see this: Screenshot, Video)
