Completed Activities
- Set up the PSF blog (https://pyfound.blogspot.com/) to be used as a reliable means of communicating with members. It now includes Feedburner support, giving us RSS/Atom as well as email distribution. It is connected to the Twitter account (https://twitter.com/ThePSF) so that new posts are automatically published there as well.

Planned Activities
- Establish a Facebook page and connect it to the blog as well.
Posts to write:
- Board Offers
- Names and responsibilities.
- Infrastructure Committee
- Sean as chairman; other members; recusal agreement; planned improvements; python.org updates
- Trademarks Committee
- David as chairman; other members; responsibilities
- PyCon 2010 Report
- Final attendance numbers; financial aid granted (not by name, just totals); sprint outcome; anything we know we will do differently next year
Feedback Needed
- Are there any other social networks or tools I should be investigating as communication channels? I looked into LinkedIn, but it isn't clear that this sort of news would be welcome in the existing Python Community group (and I'm not sure there's a way to publish automatically).
- Does the vote on Exoweb sponsor membership from the May meeting warrant a post? It would be a good excuse to talk about how other companies can become sponsors, but I can do that without mentioning Exoweb directly.
- So far I have been writing posts based on the Board meeting minutes. If there are topics you think I should write about that aren't covered in the minutes, let me know.
