Ben S: I'm inclined to make it easier for ourselves by not doing any food at all. Errol St is just around the corner.
agreed. only becuase I'm not willing to sponsor the food ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, and don't know the first thing about finding sponsorship.
Ben M: Perhaps light refreshments: softdrink, tea/coffee, bickies.

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

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
