= July 29 2015 =
== 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. ===
