MAAPL Fight Foreclosure Campaign
Clinics are wrapping up this week. Likely to be an on-going activity, but jokeefe is looking for a broader plan before giving assistance.
Having someone from Worcester Anti-Foreclosure Group speak at PirateCon could be interesting. They integrated legal and direct action techniques to stop over 90% of the foreclosures they took on.
Projects On Hold For the Moment
Both of these could be topics for future hackathons.

Summary
Calls for conference, fundraising. Aaron has fundraising experience and is willing to make calls, but would like renumeration for doing so. We discuss our typical burn rate, expenses, and the cost of running campaigns.
We agreed to hire Aaron, but have to work out a couple of the particulars.
