= FSM Committee Notes
=== July 2016
== Recap last meetup & meeting
* great Gnews Michael, I know the 'scripted conversation' effect, but there was quite a bit of input from new and old members (Ben S was nearly on the point of shushing pplz)
* suggestion and (gold coin) donation box near the drinks - suggest a correspondence between time and money, and suggest people donate time ;) things like tweeting/facebooking announcements
* List services we need: “how can I help?”
* Delegate for regular Facebook / Twitter correspondence? - how about a prescripted microblog sent with the announce that list members could copy/paste into pump.io/twitter/etc
* More time for discussion would be better
* Lesson Learned: Always put the Gnews last as it is the most diplomatic to cut short.
* Ben F. corresponding re. aliases for topics and office names
* "contact us" link to send emails to the committee: http://freesoftware.org.au/contact-us/
* mailing list ettiquite
* respond inline
* Ben M: move from digest to live
* working group (possibly)
* Ben M: propose working group date to the mailing list

>>> The topic is "Scientific Hooliganism", and the blurb I've been giving is:
>>> In 1903, Guglielmo Marconi prepared to unveil his world-first,
>>> long-distance wireless communication technology to the Royal Institution
>>> in London. He was looking forward to roaring success - but he didn't
>>> count upon falling victim to the first hack in history. Over a century
>>> later, the tech industry is still repeating Marconi's mistakes. What can
>>> the FOSS and infosec communities learn from 1903?
