Hey everyone - sorry for being silent today, been pretty crazy. So
basically, these meetings are mostly separate.

Occupy Boston Road map - 11:30am-1:30pm at E5. High-level movement strategy.
Occupy Boston Actions summit - 1:30pm-4pm at E5. Action theory,
brainstorming, planning.
Direct Action Strategy and Planning - 11am-4pm. Morrigan wrote more about
it earlier, it's happening down in JP and being put on by a 3rd party.
DA Spokescouncil for specific day of action - 5pm in JP.

Still working on the agenda for the summit - if you want to help put it
together, get in touch. If you want to start brainstorming early, see the
below.

Action goals - This is a space to brainstorm what the goals of actions are.
These are high level objectives that, if attained, mean the action was
successful in some definable way.

Possible actions - These are creative ideas of actions that we could do.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ah3pFB7dtoJJdEhwc0o3blRGaUlUdHFkQVR1dTQ1VXc&hl=en_US#gid=0

Acton checklist - This is a working list of what needs to be done before,
during, or after an action.
