== Meeting summary ==

 * Started with a brainstorm of topic ideas.

 * Committee election - Led by Ben S.
   * After some discussion, it was agreed that committee members are to hold their position for roughly 6 months, after which time another election will take place. If you couldn't make the meeting, you won't have to wait long for your chance.
   * President: Alex F.
   * Vice President: Ben S.
   * Secretary: Adam B.
   * Treasurer: Ben F.
   * Many other people also expressed interest in helping to share responsibilities. Thanks to everyone.

 * [[http://h-node.org/|H-Node]] (and other hardware considerations) - Adam B.
   * If you haven't already done so, stop reading these notes and go add your hardware to the [[http://h-node.org/|h-node.org]] database right now! It is important to do this regardless of how well your hardware may or may not work.
   * Bleeding edge GPU/APU graphics compatibility information might be available from the [[http://www.x.org/wiki/intel|intel]], [[http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/|nouveau]] and [[http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon|radeon]] project wiki pages.
   * It is possible to make an educated guess as to how well a computer might function with operating systems that comply with the [[https://www.fsf.org/|FSF]]'s [[https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html|Guidelines for Free System Distributions]].

 * [[https://www.thinkpenguin.com/|Think Penguin]] - Ben F.
   * Hardware that has been thoroughly tested to meet the Free Software Foundation's strict guidelines.
   * The guys there are regulars on the [[https://trisquel.info/|Trisquel]] site and eager to help work out compatibility issues and the like.

 * [[https://github.com/vpac/rsa|Raster Storage Archive]] is a Java-based project to help store and process geospatial raster datasets, optionally with multiple bands and a temporal component.
   * Alex has been working on it for 3 years, but only very recently has the project been released as free software, and under the GPLv3 no less.

 * [[http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/|Software Freedom Day]] - general discussion led by Ben S.
   * Definitely some interest in organising something, however we don't want anyone to suffer from burnout.
   * Possible ideas include:
     * Get together at a pub, restaurant or a BBQ.
     * Write to local papers to highlight the importance of free software, in case they are interested in including an article on it for SFD.
     * [[https://trisquel.info/|Trisquel]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Installfest#Installfests|installfest]]! Hopefully Trisquel 6.5 will be out by then? Could be combined with Q/A sessions and gaming, as well going out as a group somewhere to lunch.
     * We need to register before July 21 to receive a shipment of promotional material on time.
   * Ben S. to further discuss with Lev to better determine what extent LUV would play, and what ideas they might be happy to support.
 
 * Dinner at Classic Curry
   * Topics included:
     * [[http://bitcoin.org/|Bitcoin]]
     * Debian and [[http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/fsf-collab-discuss|failed FSF compliance discussions]]
     * Programming in [[http://ocaml.org/|OCaml]]
     * [[http://owncloud.org/|ownCloud]] (is our new president secretly using Dropbox???)
     * [[https://identi.ca/|Identi.ca]] to be replaced with [[http://pump.io/|Pump.io]] ([[https://identi.ca/doc/pumpio|sometime this week]]!), with the [[http://status.net/|StatusNet]] fork [[https://www.gnu.org/software/social/|GNU Social]] to take over leading the !StatusNet code-base.
     * New [[http://www.mediagoblin.org/|MediaGoblin]] release (and probably with lots of baby photos floating around the web to help show it off!)
