(this sort of question is a good one for our collective memory rather than a project manager) * who goes * Notebook posts - also a question for ongoing discussion * is the process of writing them useful? * is the process of reading other people's useful? * is there a better way to get uptodate on others' news? ## AOB * 2nd (and final) call for OKFestival proposals to be released to public today/tomorrow - deadline early June - and those of you who are Guest Programme Planning leads have been notified in the past week - but let Kat know if have any questions about this process ## Actions * Ongoing actions under control 🙂
