Summary

The Digital Security 101 for immigrants workshops went well, especially the Friday workshop.

Piratecon. Current proposed schedule is PirateCon 2017 Topics.

Campaign workshops. We have one schedule on Apr 25th. Joe T will be able to edit video.

Surveillance ordinances. Somerville looks like it's going forward; the Mayor is supportive of it. Cambridge is moving slowly.

To Dos

• Write to panelists. Make sure they're okay with proposed times. See if they'd like to retitle their panel.
• Piratecon code of conduct
• Decide which planks to work on during breakout groups
• We'll need volunteers, esp for setup and registration
• Press outreach
• Alternate plans for streaming bandwidth?
• Need to assemble list of stuff to bring. (Should be an etherpad floating around with last year's list)
