Hi all,
This is the summary of the meeting:

- Jeremy will e-mail the department asking for presentations from public 
talks, etc, that we can tailor to our needs for observing sessions. The 
talks will be requested to be in Power Point format. We will need 
volunteers for editing.
- There will be presentations on different topics and we can choose from 
that poll.
- If it is cloudy the first observing night of the month, we will cancel 
and reschedule for the following week as usual. If the following week it 
is also cloudy, we will say in the website that there will not be 
observing and that we will hold a public lecture instead.
- We will also need a talk exclusively dedicated to children, to be used 
for special school sessions.
- Depending on the month, we will have a short presentation of images of 
objects that could have been visible in the sky that month.
- Every talk will have one final slide in all presentation on how to 
contact us. (I will send this around soon.) We will also have a couple 
of slides on what astronomers do in their day to day life.
- Once the talks are finalized, we will put them in the internal website.

Thank you everyone for coming. Once we have determined what the material 
available is, we will need volunteers for editing. If anyone wants to 
make any additional contribution, they are highly appreciated!

Best,
Elisa
