I'm down for a slot.

I'll have finished editing & compiling a new publication: The Oregon
Legal Glossary. An online document, made available under a CC
license. I'll be interested in critique on (1) the usability of the
glossary itself, and (2) the clarity of the explanatory materials.
There are several complex ideas I want to succinctly express, and so
I'll be making use of illustrations and text to explain them.

Currently (June 6), the glossary is about 80% finished. Here's a
sample page that's looking pretty decent, and displays several of the
"value added" features that the glossary will provide:

https://www.oregonlaws.org/glossary/definition/plaintiff

And here is one of the Use-Cases the project will support. This blog
post by law librarian and friend, Laura Orr, illustrates how she uses
the OR's online leglislative glossary:

Hi everyone,

This is a post for an illustrator I'm very close to, Coleen McIntyre,
who'd like to get critique on vignettes she's working on for a
children's cookbook that will be appearing in the fall. Specifically,
she's curious about the content: the choice of different animals and
bugs alongside food; and then the graphic design and the color schemes
as well.

For background, her website is http://www.coleenmcintyre.com/

I told her that you're very interested in having artists and other
creatives come present. Sound like a good thing to come show?

It would be great to have her. Please sign her up or have her do so.

Thanks so much,
Stacey

[Janet Tingey]

Ditto what Stacey said, sounds fabulous.

major updates, I've proposed a BoF at Bridge so we'll see how that
goes (next week). I'm also trying to line up a back up plan, just in
case. I'll keep everyone updated when I know more.

Thanks again for being so patient thru all this.

[Robb Shecter]

Thanks, Ben!  In my portion, I could focus on the use of open source in the project. 

Another option for a location:  Lewis & Clark College.  In case some of you don't know where it is,  it's in SW Portland, between Macadam and Barbur Blvd.  I'm both an employee and a student of the College, and so can reserve space here for meetings.

I think a BoF at OSBridge sounds great. I'll confirm and schedule it
by this weekend (just need a free moment to sort through the queue).

if you want you can structure your talk how ever you want to, I'll
leave it up to you to work out what you want to have worked out,
though as I see it there's no real need for the actual project to be
open source as I think that we could justify anything as an exersize
in communication.

[Lewis & Clark]
Thats a great option that I had not concidered, thanks for the
suggestion depending on how the next few days go I'll be contatcting
you on getting that set up.
