Summary
Late start, due to some (perceived) IRC issues. We started off split across several IRC servers.
Anti-DRM march 2:00 PM EDT on Saturday, May 13th, at Cambridge City Hall. Details
Freedom Rally. Three days this year, Sep 15--17. Cost is $300. We have funds to cover registration costs. Concessions, Ltd charges a late fee after Aug 10th, so we should make a decision before then. We'll table the decision for now. Jamie thinks we should fundraise for the registration fee.
Pirate officer elections. Jamie sent newsletter, re: elections. Nominations open until May 23rd
Planks. Looking at worcester as location for plank building meeting. May set up loomio for online discussions. Loomio's git repository. We'll have a tech meeting from 2-4p on Sunday May 21st to try it out.
