# 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
* 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/](http://freesoftware.org.au/contact-us/)

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?
