Alex
1. Back to phoning (50 done this week)
2. Did several revisewise debates and have edited a few to have more citations in them – hopefully more usable to help with essays and revision
3. Found quite a few blogs on revision and elearning
4. Been looking up organisations that have views on European Issues for the European Elections
5. Sent off a whole load more marketing materials... unfortunately the PO has put the price up
(also got my historical debate up, found a couple of journalists who write things on elearning, extensively edited the America is the worlds biggest human rights abuser)
Dave
1) Went to Washington to speak at the Politics Online conference (blog coming soon)
2) Cornered Joe Rospars, the genius behind Obama's new media campaign to try and get him to come to the event we're organising in December
3) Were joined by a new intern Stephanie. Okay not something I've actually done but am particularly delighted by
4) Met up with Eleanor again to work out how we can create a sellable product from Debatewise to generate revenue
5) Met with the lawyers to work out how we can appeal against the Charity Commission's decision not to award us charitable status.
