Meetup topics
What would you like this community to do, learn about or workshop in our meetups? 

(Think: Training session topics you'd like us to host ...  workshops you'd like to attend ... speakers you'd like to hear from ... working groups you'd like us to convene ...  events you think would be good for community development ... etc.)
What should we call us?
Any thoughts on what this group should be named? 

(So far, we've heard JAM -- Journalism Alliance of Minnesota ... Minnesota Community News Collaborative ... what has a nice ring to it?)
What looms largest on your mind?
If you were able to attend the kickoff in February, you had a chance to brainstorm with your group about the biggest challenges that you, your colleagues and your organization are facing. And you offered some possible solutions that this community might be able to tackle.

If you weren't able to join us, we want to hear from you. What's on your mind? What needs loom large? What might this community help address? 
What else should we know?
What else should we be thinking about as we build this community?
