## 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 ###

* Oct - meeting 15th - ctte 29th sep (last tues )
* Nov - meeting 19th - ctte 27th oct
* Dec - dinner 17th - ctte 24th nov
### Meet-up topics for October and November ###
* TODO: Ben S to try to rememer who he spoke to
### 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
### blog post ###
* Dobbing Scott in for post FSM workshop blog post based on email he sent to mailing list :)
* Join the queue
