Things that worked well
amount of discussion
- adds to the meeting
- more interaction than other meetup groups
overtly talking about free software
deliberately non-technical
- even though most members are technical
- less jargon, good for newcombers
getting a bit bigger, more momentum
great letter to Mozilla
- been wanting to do more outward-facing stuff like this
- perhaps more opinion pieces for website
- Facebook's internet.org
introducing continuity, new committed people getting involved
working well with LUV, eg. Software Freedom Day
inviting women specifically
just inviting people in general working too
not a problem turning up late with phone number
become more a part of society, public facing, activism
photo carousel on website makes a big difference
Things that didn't work so well
not enough women
- encouraging women event was good
time of meeting may not be ideal for many
- getting into city is hard
- consider closer to a station?
getting locked out is still a hassle
we don't have any money
discussion can make it harder to be an anonymous newbie
Things to work on
more educating the public on privacy and security
following up on invites
publish "I'm late" phone number in meeting announcement
print and laminate the window sign
go to other compatible groups
- freedom and openness
- community groups
- non-technical
- societal issues
GovHack presence
invite Pia to talk at FSM?
follow up with a blog post after meetings
- builds confidence
go back through archive and list past meeting topics somewhere
LCA presence?
being called upon as practical educators
- write documents, eg. download and install LibreOffice
ask about what sort of event would suit our (not yet present)
Meetup.com members
run joint events with other groups
explicitly welcome newbies
keep making an effort to start on time
- make sure we nominate a meeting chair/host/timekeeper
- nominate someone to sit on door for first 15 mins
mix in more informal events, schedule them well ahead to give us a break
- trivia night
- clash of the licenses
- things involving teamwork
- things in Gnews
find groups we haven't partnered with
- makes normal sounding activities new and interesting
run keysigning parties
- roll out same thing with different groups
run something not on a Thursday night
- perhaps on a day that doesn't typically suit committee members
- LUV Beginners?
Ideas for "contribute to free software" event
- next thing is to pick a date well in advance, eg. 2 months
- Melb Uni venue looks like it would work, may provide catering
- warmup by making a contribution to Wikipedia
- then a contribution to Open Street Map
- then a documentation change
- talk to people who run Open Tech School
Ideas for June meeting
- Scott: Distributed social networks
- Ben M: Guy on Android in schools{: page-href="wiki:///CommitteeMeetings/20150508"}
