=== Yearly Conference ===

Once we set dates for the trainings we will put up a poll asking about our 2018 conference and whether to change it into several regional conferences.

The electronic election for our officers went well in 2017, and we should consider doing it again. Such a change would allow us to decentralize our yearly conference and hold multiple regional conferences in different parts of the state. We could schedule monthly conferences starting in March or April. We could limit them to about 4-5 hours long, with the first half being training and the second half being discussion. If we want to go this route, we should ask our members soon and see who wants to organize their regional conference.

=== Computer Donations ===

https://piratenpad.de/p/MassPiratesComputerDonations

== Statements In Process ==

* MA [https://malegislature.gov/Bills/190/H3641/ Bill H.3641: An Act relative to electronic tolling] - Approved our opposition to it. Past position is to remove the tolls on the Pike since it has long been paid for.
* US S.1241 - Combating Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Counterfeiting Act of 2017 - Approved our opposition to S.1241. Need statement (Joe)

== Other To Dos ==

=== FOSS Tutorials ===

Worcester farm group is interested in having some FOSS tutorials. Perhaps:
* how to do basic labels in GIMP,
* work through a few sample spreadsheets related to seed cost and
* similarly applicable real-world situations, depending on the needs of the group

Basically how to do graph design & product management with open source tools. Malt will put together a one paragraph description of what we need and we can mail it out to ask pirates to help.
