1. Note on Dec. 2 hangout



Google+ transport action, maps, meetings, organizing, communication

On Wednesday a Transport Action working group met in a Google+ hangout ( a video conference with shared access to documents). The group used the meeting to:


- further develop a mapping workshop for transport activists
- tested a simple Google document  “submit form”  http://is.gd/vymrOb
- posted, in 15 minutes, a powerpoint file via YouTube to a demonstration web site http://is.gd/84FQhp



The hangout which included people in Quebec City, Toronto and Vancouver is suggesting the organization use Google+ to:


- hold board and committee meetings
- hold weekly transport action discussions
- help organize the corridor passenger rail conference planned for next year
- compare AMT, Metrolinx and Translink
- reach out to other people interested in transportation solutions
- network with like-minded groups



2. Shared documents, spreadsheets, a google website with a submit form

- Invitations are out to friends, who know privacy law, to consider Transport Action Canada's situation and perhaps offer advice
- Transport Action Canada needs to be able to advise people as to how public one becomes by virtue creating a Google+ identity
