   - Alan (absent)


   - Met with someone from Second Muse (organizers of Random Hacks of
   Kindness) about helping with promotion / possible sponsorship of Design
   Thinking course.  Possibly interested in pursuing another course called the
   Blank Slate Project (designing a system of ethics from the ground up). They
   also offered help with organizing hackathons if needed and space in Berlin
   if we want (Beta House).


   - Met with Ashoka U and getting ready for the workshop in Feb. Love the
   idea of the Peer Masters and talking now about it being a three-level
   program with a Peer Bachelors, Peer Masters, and Peer PhD, possibly
   interest in co-branding some level of that.


   - Goals for this week:


   - Meet John in NYC to go over strategy for Design Thinking and the
   wireframes


   - Finally send Microgrant App (sorry...)


   - Figure out what the proposal I'm putting in for OEW looks like by Jan

   - Web User Experience Design:
   http://p2pu.org/en/groups/web-user-experience-design/


   - Contabilidad basica: http://p2pu.org/es/groups/contabilidad-basica/


   - OTHER:


   - Python Programming: http://p2pu.org/en/groups/python-programming (testing
   space for organizers)


   - Ali is working with the community and seeing continual creation of
   "courses" and "study groups" that would benefit from the challenge model


   - would like to see all formats look like a challenge but organizer can
   choose name - "study group" "course" "challenge" to suit their expectations


   - People using P2PU to create study groups for certification and
exams - would
   be nice to design template for this use since it's so common


   - Quiz functionality may be beneficial to help participants prepare and
   organizers to validate progress


   - Showcase items


   - webcraft will go up


   - NaNoWriMo


   - Brandbook & Logo Updates [John]


   - mail sent to community


   - colours have been updated, so that it works better on a white
   background


   - Is there a color palette (hex color scheme?) publicly available?


   - Rather than being a font, the logo is drawn with blocks


   - Fonts are in the dropbox, but can't be publicly posted, since we had
   to pay for them, so any community member wanting to use them, will need to
   speak to a staff member, who will be able to help them out. (this has to do
   with different licenses for different weights, John can clarify if anyone
   has any questions)


   - What needs to be updated?


   - Blog


   - Letterhead


   - Website


   - Twitter icon


   - FB page


   - Run a seminar/call on challenges and get community to set up
   challenges [Philipp]


   - Idea is to run a short, 10 (20? 30?) minute live workshop for people
   within the community to learn how to create, design and run a challenge


   - could use the weekly call time, for the live session, but push it out
   to the wider community further.


   - Get feedback from the community on the materials Chloe has created
   already, and see how they are used


   - Chloe: maybe it would be good to have a semi-regular webinar format?


   - PS: Webinars are great (an online version of the mini challenge
   creation events Chloe is working on with John)


   - Open formats, provide transcripts please


   - If the webinar materials are archived publicly - a i see, yes
   ofcourse. so eventually people could run their own :-)


   - PS: But would use the community call for first one


   - also a good way to get people onto the call, which is something we want


   - Challenge creation and stewardship


   - Community actively validating badge submissions.


   - It may be helpful if badge submissions are mutable, as requirements
   change and peer feedback may suggest improvements.
