DigitalDeathDay

=Early January 2011 Call=

Agenda
 to see interest in DDD      To be sent to whom? Explain who we are. Purpose, intentionality We need a meeting to bring providers together who have been developing models that were very different from one another.  Anand suggests to increase awareness of the agenda in a wider audience  Kaliya says: we are good at convening a space.  John: multidisciplinary interaction among e.g. lawyers, social scientists,  Biggest challenge: no legal standard exists currently  <li> </ul>
 * Survey
 * Review make suggestions on the Survey
 * Talk about plan to distribute survey

 <li> Some new service exists to store data forever
 * Media Coverage this week!
 * NYTimes Magazine

<li> Stacey knows a second one like that. John has had email, and will talk with them again on Thursday -- will send to list. <li> thelongnowfoundation, www.longnow.org/ <li> Dave Winer <li> We should invite him to something specific that he can do. <li> </ul>
 * FreshAir (U.S. broadcast interview show)
 * NRT

 <li> <li> </ul>  <li> We have a common agenda, but specific interests. <li> Stacey: A DDD community exists. <li> Kaliya: an interdisciplinary collaboration, should be made apparent on our Website <li> Go to http://personaldataecosystem.org/ and click on "blog" Kaliya would organize funding. It will require maintenance. Who would do that daily servicing? distribute responsibility for maintaining the blog. <li> Anand: we should find a plug-in. <li> Kaliya: How to share responsibility of keeping it going? Option 1 = aggregate blogs or Option 2 = PDE site RSS from 100 sites into Google leader and only taking ones that are on topic. Takes everyday 5 minutes. <li> Q for those getting media coverage: <li> A: Anand : initial media coverage brings more media coverage. <li> Q Kaliya: "actual news"? <li> A: John (?) Getting good press coverage requires newsworthy speakers, persons getting their logos on Website then get speaking; read the Tech Blog of NYT to understand what's curent. <li> Q Kaliya: when we have a date, we could set up a media team. <li> A : John (?) has come up every so often. <li> </ul>
 * WOW!
 * How do we feel about all of this - do we need to coordinate in some way or is it all working out ok.
 * How do we leverage the interest into attendees at Digital Death Day?

 <li> Q Kaliya: <li> Jeremy will join us for a panel, but we don't know the time yet.

What happens next?" <li> We're publishing: grave-robbers, HT stop ID theft. <li> Another idea from last year: I once organized a joint booth, got ten persons to put up 150 $ each to have a booth. <li> We would support that. We would definitely support that. <li> Who else has a co. with a product? <li> We could put it up as a Q on the list. <li> Aren't there 5 or 6 companies in the States doing something comparable? <li> I will write up something on that. <li> </ul>

Next Call
= Late December 2010 Call:= I wanted to report to the community about outcomes from a focused conversation we had with Evan & John from the Digital Beyond Blog and Stacey Pitsillidies.

I have updated the website to reflect these outcomes too -http://www.digitaldeathday.com

There is a core group that will work on pulling the details together for a Digital Death Day Europe around the Death Dying and Disposal Conference in September in the Netherlands composed of Stacey, Esther and the folks from Ziggur. (Should we set up a planning mailing list for it?)

We are not sure when and where to put a North American Event. We are going to work on a survey and circulate it around early in the new year. Evan is working on a draft and will circulate to list - we can use Kaliya's Survey Monkey to post.

This event needs to be community promoted - we are looking for other key leaders in the field who might be a good fit for this. So please raise your hand if you want to help out.

We are doing:
 * A social evening at the Personal Digital Archive Conference http://personalarchiving.com  in February in the Bay Area.   We are hoping some of the Bay Area based companis in this space can sponsor it and that Pierre Wolff and Jeremy can play a key roll in helping promote it to people beyond the conference.   Other Bay Area people can help too! if you are interested please raise hand by replying.


 * The Digital Beyond is organizing a panel for SXSW and we will organize some meetup/mini-unconference thing there - Kaliya is going to inquire about venues from locals and Evan and John are going to get more info on relevant things happening at the conference so we can figure out a date/time.

The mailing list is now publically open for more subscribers http://lists.idcommons.net/lists/subscribe/digitaldeath Please invite people who belong in the conversation with us.

We are going to do a Next call for the community likely at the same time 8am pacific 11am eastern 4pm London 5pm Europe

I propose Wednesday the 5th of January. Does this work for folks?


 * We should have the survey to review + more organizing info for the SXSW and the Personal Archiving event.

( I can work on finding an international bridge for us to borrow so we don't have to do skype. )
