Pirate Party of New Zealand Meeting 26 June 2011

Present

 * Members: Noel (passive), Tommy, Hammond (passive), Bruce, Peter
 * Non-members: Roderick (PPAU)
 * Apologies: Shawn, Brad

Agenda

 * "to work out what type of things we need for posters/flyers etc., whether we want them to be informative/political/contraversial, that sort of thing. Also stuff about branding and anything else the designers want to bring up."
 * Questions:
 * Regarding what we do now for Re-O, is this about making some 'good' posters/flyers, or about working out a 'brand' that any posters/flyers etc. we do will have to fit in to?
 * Do we want to sort something out now for the next few months, and then find something else in august/september for the election campaign, or are we making something (brand, posters) now that we will use right up to the election (add to it but not change it)
 * In terms of posters/flyers, do we want to run specific messages, or broad slogans (which may play to emotions, but need more explaining for rational interpretation)

Statements

 * We're not yet interested in doing any 'branding', we just want some more nice-looking & informative posters/flyers
 * This is only about a membership drive, not about campaigning
 * We want to do 2 different styles of material - informative & specific messages people will read through, and 'slogan' type material to remind the converted or make the uncontverted curious
 * was the best current poster
 * All 4 PPAU flyers don't fit either 'informative' or 'slogany' style
 * Need 2 posters specifically on Skynet (1 informative, 1 slogany)
 * All material should specifically encourage 'joining' (as opposed to voting or just agreeing)
