Summary
Piratecon. Around 18 attendees over the course of the day. Streaming went well; audio quality was decent. Since venue was so inexpensive, we may want to do another conference in November (post election). The second conference could focus on running for local elections. Should also do a fundraiser at some point.
Aaron James campaign. Working on outreach and getting more volunteers.
No June cryptoparty (Somerville)
On july 3rd, there's a rally in Great Barrington, in opposition to GE dumping PCBs in the Housatonic river. We vote to endorse the rally (5-0, no abstentions)
