The internet is an evolving and changing beast, we use it every day for work and play.  MNFurs members depend on it for communication and keeping up what is happening on the furry community. It takes a lot of thought, planning, and work to keep MNFurs sites going and I would like to get more people involved in it.

On Sunday March 4th, starting at 6 PM, I’m going to be hosting a working session on MNFurs internet.  What topics this session is covering the goals of MNFurs on the internet, refining and updating policies, internet planning, and discuss about updating websites design.  This discussion will cover across all MNFurs Internet sites includes Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, Google +, FA, Artspaws, Livejournal, and the main MNFurs website.

Everyone is invited to come and be involved.  This meeting is going to be high level so knowledge on how website and online systems works isn’t required. Your experience as a member of MNFurs and the general furry community is all that is required.

 

The meeting agenda is located further down the post which gives a high level of what will be talked about.

 

This is going to be held at

Caribou Coffee located at 2111 Snelling Avenue North, Roseville, MN 55113. 

 

This Caribou Coffee have a "meeting space" and I have it reserved from 6PM till closing.

 

Again this is a working session so it’s not a furry meet but it’s a good starting point if you want to help MNFurs on the internet.

 

Kurst – Who hates how dry this sounds but just wants to get it posted up Cool

 

——

Update – Updated the text, changed the date, updated location.

 

ALSO if you are interest in showing up PLEASE RSVP.  I would like to get an idea how many people are going to be there.

Update 2 – Been sick this weekend so I have been slow writing…. Going to have to push it off positing the media agenda till the 28th.  Sorry about that – but health first.

Update 3 – Added a link to the meeting agenda further down the page.

I will be there as an observer and to give my input where I can :).

 

The Roseville Panera is a very poor choice for a venue, especially on a weekend.  Its very small and fills up fast as it's attached to the Rosedale Mall. We ran into this problem before.

Dragon Palace could be an option if you are looking at the roseville area.  Otherwise maybe the Perkins on the North End  of roseville?

My other suggestion would be the Davannis in Minneapolis.  The parking was a little tricky but it was really nice to have that private room.

I do know it's not the perfect venue.  Being it's a sunday it's a less of problem – traffic is a little bit lower there the times I have bene in the past at that time for other things.

 

I want a location that is more conductive to people coming in and out.  I also want one with a lower expectation of food purcahses and the ability to stay around that if a person is there more than 2-3 hours it's not consider abnormal. That's why I'm looking more towards a Panara or a Carbou/Starbucks type place in the roseville area.

Is there a backup plan in case we get the promised snow dumped on us Sunday? Right now it sounds like Panera will either be empty or out of hot chocolate.
