Bike party tasks:
- Set a date
- make an invite page, publicize, etc.
- Pick a theme/split the map into sections that we can assign to people
- Instructions? What should people take pictures of? What defines a landmark?
- pick an app/service - ushahidi?
- have everyone meet back up at sudo or other location where we will all upload the photos and have food. (*will also need instructions for how will people note what they're taking pictures of and where it is and easy instructions for uploading photos to wikimedia for people who have to leave!) **can also use http://i-am-cc.org

OPL Youth Leadership Council
- Gave a presentation on OakWiki at the monthly (third Sat. of every month) meeting of the OPL Youth Leadership Council.
