Other business
Ben Carter project idea - KEJC frequently asks public to comment on regulation changes and would like to create a website to track comments and submit them, allows KEJC to tag commenters, makes commenting easier, similar to ResistBot it could create form letters. Other groups may use this kind of site as well.
Could possibly extend this to the state and city reg changes
This project could be a great one to create at a Hack-a-Thon
Generic business cards
Discussion of open data in Kentucky. Robert mentioned that Rob Wiederstein may be working on an open data portal.
