Summary

The Digital Security 101 for immigrants workshops went well, especially the Friday workshop.

Piratecon. Current proposed schedule is PirateCon 2017 Topics.

To Dos

• Piratecon code of conduct
• Decide which planks to work on during breakout groups
• We'll need volunteers, esp for setup and registration
• Press outreach
• Alternate plans for streaming bandwidth?
• Need to assemble list of stuff to bring. (Should be an etherpad floating around with last year's list)
