Summary

Local Surveillance Ordinances. Steve collected minutes from Cambridge City Council, and Santa Clara FGOC. Will attempt to turn these into a warrant article for presentation in Arlington.

MAAPL Fight Foreclosure campaign. Trying to reach 70,000 (potential) vicitims of illegal foreclosure between now and the end of the December. Jamie is helping to publicize the effort. Steve doing tech work. All crossing fingers, and hoping it all comes together.

Campaign Workshops. First two audio files posted. Working on additional trainings in Jan/Feb.

Cryptoparties. Dec 30th Digital Privacy 101 was well attended. At least 30 people. Looking for a venue to hold 12/28 meeting.
