Review
Freedom Rally
Planning doc: https://piratenpad.de/p/FreedomRally2017
Decisions/Endorsements
Projects
Digital Right of Repair
Hearing was today. Now we need to get legislators to support it. Details. Time to start making calls to volunteers and then to members.
Planning for 2018 Elections
In 2018, towns decide when their elections are held, but most are held in the first half of the year. State & county elections are in November. What offices are up in 2018 is listed here. We have been asked to hold a town election training in Milford this year. Additionally, it would be good to have candidate trainings in Western Mass. (Holyoke?), Worcester, Boston-area.
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.
Fundraiser
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.
