= 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 (Ben S was nearly on the point of shushing pplz)

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.

>>> 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?
