AZ will get the information.

Discussion about stats and usefulness of specific social media (FB, Twitter, Instagram, youtube, etc.)

We have to find out if the Porto organizers have a person, who is responsible for communication and social media and maybe stream and/or film some keynotes/presentations even if it is only audio.

Participants: CSB (chair), CT (minutes), AZ, JF, MMcV,

Excused: PR, CM

 

  1. Approval of the minutes 190219 (last meeting)

approved

 

  1. Next Conferences:

Information about the SRN Call for Conferences (CSB)

CSB received three mails from international facilities (Singapur, UK, Ottawa), but these are commercial institutions. In her response she made clear that we are looking for non-commercial organizers, located in universities, film schools etc.

 

  1. Porto Conference

Registration is not open yet. The organizers need to communicate information when it actually opens.

 

  1. Newsletter

March edition is ready, thanks to CM and MMcV.

The EC discussed the statistics of our newsletter and how we can get information about it. Instead of sending the whole newsletter out as attached pdf, we could just send a list of the topic with links to the whole newsletter on our website. This way we could get detailed statistics. The newsletter itself doesn’t need to be changed at all for this technical improvement.

We also have no numbers and stats of our website.

 

  1. Awards

The first nomination for an article came in and was forwarded to the members of the jury.

 

  1. Other business

JF reports from his very successful workshop about screenwriting research.

He will write a short report for our next newsletter. JF also created a SRN banner, which could be used at other occasions.

CT reports that a German language network for screenwriting research will be founded in November. A CfP for the first workshop will be published in our newsletter.
