+Timeline: 9am -> 12
+
+Agenda:
+  * [x] Tools & Comms
+  * [x] Milestones & Roles
+  * [x] Mapping
+  * [x] Users
+
+Initial notes:
+  * Let's not fall into the code cave
+  * End product is not the goal (for this phase)
+  * Impress what is possible and work on explanations
+      * Load infoboxes and show what is possible, for example
+  * Do things manually, lowtech, etc.
+  * Participate in wikidata community, let each other know they exist
+  * Try to be a bridge between the wikidata and the wash sector (shout out to BBSes ;))
+  * MVP: What is interesting, possible and should be done
+  * After this, letters of support, procurement, references, partnerships
+  * Shadow the process and think through software backing for this process
+  * Nick has a network of people, know that the end of the line is conferences
+  * Glass, Trackfin - doing reporting but WASHNote could make this useful for planning
+
+Tools:
+* github: repos, kanban:
+  * https://github.com/WASHNote
+  * Organising project via https://github.com/nickdickinson/WASHWeb/projects/1
+* dropbox: files
+* airtable: for scheming with data
+
+Comms:
+  * IRC - make #washnote on freenode
+  * Signal for p2p for now
+
+Mapping:
+  * Paper time!
+
+Interfaces:
+  * UI can be wikipedia!
+  * UI can be algorithmia!
+  * Integration with stuff works
+  * "The web is the UI"
+
+End-users:
+  * 1) Associations, interest groups - people who organise the sector - RWSN, SUSANA, PSEAU, IRC
+  * 2) International orgs - policy makers, standards - WASH (not data people), working on enabling
+  * People who work in wash sector at different levels
+
+1) is probably enough to start. Who to get interested with the minimal offering
+2) trying to work with 2) could strategically work for getting sustainable work
+
+Value of information has be validated. It's been collected, people know it is useful
+However, they are siloed! They are not exactly closed, you can download it, but it is not linked, explorable
+Our offering: linked data in the washweb
+Creating registry focus on the linked data offering - associations are the targets
+The 2) have funding and still being on the registry generating views on the registry for 2) to improve their ops
+WHO - tleveraging their data, keeping it in sync, making it linked, providing value
+
+Example first steps:
+  * Come to IATI community and propose to Wikidata-ify their registry in collaboration with wikidata people
+  * Find out all the problems with that and try to solve them
+  * Take results of this approach to organisations
+
+Concretely:
+  * Write blogpost about the registry
+  * Speak to orgs/communities/try to get a buy in / feedback
+  * Build on the use case of the registry
