Re: [chairs] An alternative way to publish your meeting minutes
Chet, the DITA TC used to use this mechanism in the pre-2008 time
      frame. It's extremely painful to try and navigate in the calendar
      back that far ...

    

    
Best,

      Kris

Hello chairs,Â

        

        

        

        
My thanks to Jim Amsden of the OSLC TCs for alerting me to
          the utility of the minutes field on your TC event page.Â

        

        

        
When you create an event on your TC calendar, you'll see
          fields for a description of the event (typically used for
          meeting details) and the agenda.Â

        

        

        
Once the event has been created, if you choose the modify
          option, you will see an additional field for minutes. (See
          OASIS-event-page.png attached.)Â

        

        

        
If you enter your meeting minutes there, they will be
          permanently associated with the meeting itself. (See
          OASIS-event-page-minutes.png attached.)Â

        

        

        
In addition, saving the event will automatically send an
          email to the TC mailing list with the minutes included. So you
          will get the extra benefit of having your minutes searchable
          in the email archive.Â

        

        

        
The only disadvantage I see is that if you delete the event
          series, the minutes will be lost along with the old meeting
          entries. However, the record will still exist in the archive.Â

        

        

        
Also, a reminder that the TAB's Best Practices for Meeting
          Minutes can be read atÂhttp://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/TCHandbook/Best-practices-for-meeting-minutes-v1.0.html.Â

        

        

        
As always, let me know if you have any questions.Â
