Summary
We discuss revisions to MA public records law. It's not perfect, but it's a step forward. Ideally, any bit of data without PII should be made available to the public; the bill doesn't go that far. Motion to support passes, 5-0.
Reviewed piratecon survey results. Looks like June 25th (Saturday), in Boston area, with Childcare.
