== Other FSM talk ==
=== quick retrospective on recent worshop: ===
* what worked well, didn't work so well
* Ben M: more focused tutorials... eg Packaging a Ubuntu app demo... then leading into packaging an app and the mentors then just need to 'iron out problems' rather than start from scratch.
* Ben M: then we could have 3 or 4 seperate small tutorials
* Internet speeds
=== Committe meeting dates for rest of year ===

=== Propose a far-future month for workshop #2 ===
* Saturday 19 March
=== Renaming Meetup.com group to share with Sydney? ===
* That's silly. They need to be their own thing. Ideally yes, but I'm already paying > $100 per year for it, so there might be cost savings in sharing.
* Not sure how well it deals with mixing distant locations though.
* They would be able to run under the free of charge tier for a while I suppose.
* Also meetup suggests meetups based on location .. so the benefit for them is limited
