Cryptoparty. Jamie and Ben are doing a cryptoparty at the BPL in Dorchester on Saturday.
Ballot Measures. https://ballotpedia.org/Massachusetts_2016_ballot_measures. Plan to review the ballot questions during the week. We'll try to form a party position next week. A place to draft positions: http://piratepad.net/r7PEC7Winx
CCTV mapping. FFTF might be interested in collaborating on what we've done with https://cctv.masspirates.org. Probably best for Jamie and JTIII to discuss collaboration parameters.
