## Long term planning ##

* What works well?
* group discussions
* gnews type activities

* What doesn't work so well?
* gnews less quantity and slower pace

* Things to work on this year?
    * Try to schedule talks that will promote discussion
    * Devise a stratergy for dealing with problems such as conversations getting derailed
    * Encouraging diversity, possibly outreach to student organizations and other like-minded groups
    * encouraging new people to join and come along
    * Ask FSM Mailing list to make us a Facebook page
    * Spread the word. Make flyer to put in libraries, universities, community boards... flyer iPhone 7 launch night... :D
    * Consistent content on Website, blog wise and keeping records of local events.
    * Suggestion box
    * Organized social media campaigns: eg a social media pack for DayAgainstDRM, one liners, tweetable pics...
    * Where does the contact us page land on the website?

* Finances
 * starting to have real costs, should have a plan for income
 * Electron Workshop hosting (or is this zero-cost?)
 * Meetup.com group (currently paid by Ben S., but how much?)
 * Internet services (System Saviour, paid by Adam Bolte)
 * beginners workshop
 * Maybe we should establish a < [finance@melb.softwarefreedom.com.au](mailto:finance@melb.softwarefreedom.com.au) > contact point, allowing for continuity to future FSM treasurers.
 * Who does the administration for email at ‘softwarefreedom.com.au’? - Ben F. to confirm
 * Pizza c/o Sturm ($7 per person up to max of $119)
