== Free Software Melbourne Committee Meeting ==

Present: Ben S, Ben M, Scott, Ben F

== Agenda ==

=== 0. Venue ===
Melb Uni made a last-minute offer, but we'll go ahead with Electron Workshop.


=== 1. Get a quote on catering ===
 * I think providing morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea will give us more time for working.
 * Marty from Electron Workshop has suggested Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.

Morning/afternoon tea: Tea and bickies
Lunch:
 * Ben M to investigate the catering cost and spread (20 participants and 6 mentors etc.)
 * how far ahead to confirm numbers


=== 2. Set the entry fee. ===
 * Now that we're at Electron Workshop, we don't have any external sponsorship, so our entry fee will need to cover the catering and a small contribution to Electron Workshop to cover upkeep.
 * I'd originally hoped to also donate to a free software project, but that may push the price up.

 * Assuming fee of: $25.00 gives budget ~ $500.00 (approx $20head)


=== 3. Invite and persuade mentors to help out. ===

Possible mentors:
    * Henry Walshaw
    * Russell Coker
    * Tatiana Lenz
    * Damien Zammit
    * Matthew Cengia (open street maps)
    * Ben M (wikipedia)



=== 4. Set up registration form on FSM website. ===
 * Mezzanine has a built in tool to create forms that export to a spreadsheet.
 * Need to add instructions on pre-paying to Ben Finney via cash, bitcoin or PayPal.
