			21:03 < jokeefe> James O’Keefe, Somerville
			21:03 < srevilak> Steve Revilak, presently residing in Columbia Heights,
			DC
			21:04 < jokeefe> how are things there?
			21:05 < srevilak> 2" of wet snow
			21:05 < srevilak> was nice during the day, now below freezing and
			really windy
			21:05 < srevilak> not as many surveillance cameras as I would have
			expected
			21:06 < srevilak> except around the FBI building
			21:06 < jokeefe> lol
			21:06 < jokeefe> maybe they are smaller
			21:06 < srevilak> well, all the more reason to contribute to open
			street map
			21:06 < jokeefe> Worcester has a lot of traffic intersection cameras
			21:06 < jokeefe> Anything to review?
			21:07 < srevilak> Short item
			21:07 < srevilak> local surveillance Ordinance.
			21:07 < jokeefe> great
			21:07 < srevilak> Last night's selectmen meeting should have heard
			proposal for surveillance study group
			21:08 < srevilak> formulated by town manager and myself
			21:08 < srevilak> Being out of town, I wasn't able to attend, but can
			watch video when it's posted
			21:08 < srevilak> Town managers proposal to board of selectmen was rather
			promising, for a study group
			21:09 < srevilak> (end of review)
			21:10 < jokeefe> thanks
			21:10 < jokeefe> Any Decisions/Endorsements?
			21:10 < srevilak> nothing here
			21:11 < jokeefe> Projects then
			21:12 < jokeefe> Planks - Writing blog post / email about discussing it
			on github for now
			21:12 < srevilak> Related to discussion software, heard back from MF/PL
			regarding dedicated CM
			21:12 < srevilak> Related to discussion software, heard back from MF/PL
			regarding dedicated VM
			21:13 < srevilak> seems like that might be out of our budget for now
			21:13 < jokeefe> yes, could put it in a budget and try to fundraise for it
			21:14 < srevilak> MF/PL seems very willing to negotiate members on need
			and ability to pay, but $600/year would be a bit much
			21:14 < srevilak> $600/year is entry level point
			21:14 < jokeefe> Yes
			21:15 < jokeefe> So lets see what we can do with other software
			21:15 < srevilak> agreed
			21:16 < jokeefe> Conference - Posted the topics people have suggested
			so far
			21:17 < srevilak> jokeefe: plank writing could be a good topic for
			piratecon
			21:17 < jokeefe> Yes
			21:17 < srevilak> small group discussions, write stuff on big pieces of
			paper, and tally up afterwards
			21:18 < srevilak> seems a good way to get lots of ideas in a short period
			of time
			21:18 < jokeefe> yes
			21:19 < srevilak> If we have four 1hr slots, and dedicate 1 of them to
			building platform, that should leave us with three, no?
			21:19 < srevilak> (options for three speakers, panels)
			21:19 < jokeefe> Yes
			21:20 < jokeefe> plus lightning talks allow for options as well
			21:20 < srevilak> agreed
			21:21 < jokeefe> WorkBar was too expensive, but a cryptoparty is a
			possibility
			21:21 < srevilak> ok
			21:21 < jokeefe> Will get out an announcement about the location out
			tomorrow.
			21:21 < srevilak> thx
			21:22 < jokeefe> Fundraising - No update from last meeting.
			21:22 < srevilak> So far, I like surveillance ordinances, RVC.
			2,3,4 could be presented as one panel
			21:22 < srevilak> We've almost broken even on fundraising
			21:23 < srevilak> That's not too bad
			21:23 < jokeefe> and we still need to follow up with the other potential
			donors
			21:24 < jokeefe> Campaign Workshops - Tuesday, 4/25 works for you?
			21:25 < srevilak> Logistics will be a bit tricky, but I can make it work
			21:26 < jokeefe> great. I will plan it as well.
			21:27 < jokeefe> Could also be a topic at the conference. Might get
			pizza for lunch and get another hour talk
			21:28 < jokeefe> Message board application - any progress?
			21:29 < srevilak> Nothing from me, beyond info about dedicated VM hosting
			21:30 < srevilak> but it seems like we have other options to explore
			21:31 < jokeefe> self hosting loomio looks useful. PPNL used it to write
			their platform.
			21:31 < srevilak> nice
			21:32 < jokeefe> Local Surveillance Ordinances - you already covered it
			for Arlington, no update on Cambridge/Somerville. Will know more Thursday
			21:32 < jokeefe> Cryptoparties - Still working on the LGBT cryptoparty
			date/location
			21:33 < jokeefe> That is all I have. Anything else?
			21:33 < srevilak> nothing here
			21:34 < jokeefe> shall we adjourn, then?
			21:34 < srevilak> I did get a good FOIA resonse before I left
			21:34 < jokeefe> oh?
			21:34 < srevilak> from NSA -- their intranet home page
			21:34 < srevilak> will post when I'm back
			21:34 < srevilak> Only took three years
			21:34 < srevilak> two of them for segregation
			21:34 < srevilak> we can adjourn
			21:34 < srevilak> motion to adjourn
			21:34 < jokeefe> 2nd
			21:35 < srevilak> will post transcript
			21:35 < jokeefe> have a good night
			21:35 < jokeefe> thanks
