Last month:

• - best turnout for a long time 22 people - newbies - people were keen, but still not a huge turnout from Meetup - one new person - audio streaming worked very smoothly, published soon after - Ben S: document the “what's needed and how-to” for audio streaming a meeting eg. Ben F's mic - Ben M: put link to past recording on meetup announcment

This month:

Ben F: Facilitator Scott: Free software social networks Ben M: Gnews

• - Meetup shows 5 people only - choose a date for "contribute to free software" workshop
  • - tentative 8 August: confirm dates by 11 June if you have problems
• - second talk for 18 June? Katherine Phelps on free software in creative media? - next month

• - designating clear roles to keep larger meetups inclusive, eg:
  • https://adainitiative.org/2013/10/running-your-unconference-discussions-effectively-adacamp-session-role-cards/
  • - Ben F.: write FSM-specific role names (distinct roles)
  • - decide later whether to merge some
    • http://infotrope.net/2014/08/12/the-pathway-to-inclusion/

- low barrier to entry for helping organise the meeting - good to see people in action and whether they might be good nominees for committee

- GnuPG crash course, and key exchange among committee members

• - coming month
• - who has run a cryptoparty before? help them run another one
