Summary

Had been using meet.coop for video meetings. Trying out community bridge, which has worked well. We'll switch to community bridge.

National pirate party is organizing a 9/11 camera mapping event. 9/11 is a Monday, so we'll do the mapping on the weekend of the 16th. We decide on East Boston, because it's close to logan airport (historically tied to the 9/11 attacks), it's a majority minority neighborhood in Boston, and because it's largely unmapped. So, noon on July 16th. We'll pick two blue line stations and work between them.

Next Conference. October 14th. We'll poll supporters for suggestions as to where. Tentatively noon.

USPP issues. They're concerned with trolls. Joe says that swarmwise gives stratgies for dealing with this.

Motion to Boycott BMDC for taking anti-trans positions. Motion passes.

Pirate News this Sunday.
