[matilda] Defining Matilda - does anyone want to join 'Think tank'

[gavin at cyber-rights.net]

I have made a related proposal on the list this week. However mine 
is orientated in mind very much towards a particular purpose for 
this text, and may need to be slightly different from a definitive 
'what we are' text. I've pasted my proposal below:


I and Ben want to have a meeting to produce a "welcome to 
matilda" poster. We'd like other people to come and help. It is NOT 

an overarching 'defining what we are' meeting. It's a much more 
feasible, specific and practical task than that. It is simply to 
produce one poster to introduce people new to the space (generally) 

to what we are and what you can do here. This is different to 
coming up with a set definition of what we are - The task proposed 
is simply to produce a single resource, which doesn't stop other 
people producing their own alternative versions of such a poster 
later on if they like. We will use the notes produced in the two 
'what we are' meetings to come up with something as representative 
as we can, and we will check our provisional poster ONCE with a 
monday meeting before producing the final poster.
