Issues/Platform Discussion

Our next In-Person Meeting will be 2-5pm. Sunday Nov. 17th, at Regina Pizzeria, 353 Cambridge St, Allston, MA. We're going to try a different format: instead of discussing planning and logistics, this meeting will be a social event where we talk about issues, politics, and our party platform.

During tonight's IRC meeting, we'd like to develop a short list of topics to talk about on the 17th.

For example, our core platform centers around four points: Open Government, Open Innovation, Open Culture, and People First. We could have a discussion that elaborates on these points, talk about how some of today's big issues can be framed in terms of these four points, or talk about issues that don't fall neatly into the core platform.

Of course, that's just an example. We can elaborate more tonight.

Nov. 23rd CryptoParty

Also: we have a cryptoparty on Nov. 23rd. We should spend a few minutes discussing topics and presenters.

Fundraising

We have a fundraiser scheduled for 12/28 and will send out a fundraising email. Besides calling folks, what other fundraising ideas can folks suggest?
