We will attempt to experimentally podcast parts of this meeting.  This will be tied in with twitter, so check there to see if we go through with a podcast. 

Agenda

The Second NYC Focus Fusion Society Meeting is designed to be fun, yet effective and functional.  In this meeting, we will brainstorm the following topics (Don’t be overwhelmed.  This is a meta brainstorm about what we can brainstorm about.  No penalty if we don’t get to cover it all.):

• Nonprofit Organization - How do we build an effective, pioneering nonprofit with the unique goal that we have?
• Strategy - What strategies should we adopt?
• Fundraising - How do we raise some serious funds?  I hear someone wants to put on an opera for fusion.
• Volunteers and Members - How do we increase genuine membership?  How do we best deploy and coordinate the activities of members?
• FFS Website - How do we develop the FFS website to support socio-economic-fundraising for research goals?
• DPF Website - How do we develop the DPF website to support researchers communication and data needs?
• Educational and Documentary projects - How do we assemble and organize the skills and expertise to develop quality educational materials and documentaries?
• Other Projects - How do we divide our goals into projects (Advocacy, Building Awareness, Collaboration…oh my!  What else?)
• Add your own item. 

If we have time, we’d also like to begin matching ideas with specific champions (e.g. people) and resources - or see what we need in terms of people, funds and resources to make the various components happen.
