Agenda:
1. Open Society Institute Grant

3. Another computer?
4. Anna's work?
5. Kamila English course in July
1. Open Society Institute Grant
* We suggest that a meeting for the Cutting Your Car Use Guide is a good idea, as the Visegrad Fund covers only transportation to that meeting
- We also mentioned that it could fund some cultural events related to the project (i.e. when groups sell and promote the materials)
- We also suggest Randy make any suggestions of projects that the Open Society could fund, other than the Visegrad Project
2. Arie's Frankfurt trip
* Arie is deciding between taking the bus or the train (more expensive) to the conference in Frankfurt
- We all agreed that it is a worthwhile conference to attend
- We also agred that since it is such a short time there, taking the train and getting a night's sleep on the way there will be a better idea than travelling by bus
3. Another computer?
* we have an old computer, Sunny, which is available
- Steve will get a network card for it
- We have a monitor that needs to be fixed
4. Anna's work?
* The CARtoons translation project
- Advertising for the magazine
- Research for the magazine
- We agreed that Vincent will show Anna and Jiao how to do resources, but he will continue with it for another month
5. Kamila English course in July
- The YOUTH programme offered Kamila English language courses
- They cover everything, except a 100 euro fee, travel, and pocket money
- It is in Dublin
- it is for 27 days
- This would not count as vacation
- Is it a good time to go (Kamila really wants to go)?
- She has until March 1 to send the application
- Would she get paid for that month?
- we agree that it is useful, but suggest she talk to Radka, Randy and Arie about it, as well, because they would need her, too
