Quick Notes / Summaries Re Proposed Bills to be Discussed:
1. Liquid Feedback Hackathon
Liquid Feedback Hackathon - Sunday, July 1st, starting at 3pm. four signed up so far.
2. Status of VPN testing
There is an opportunity for Massachusetts Pirate Party to offer a low-cost VPN service to our members. Some of the other state parties are interested and will pursue this option.
A VPN service can be used to protect a member's privacy. For example, you can browse certain websites and use a protocol such as BitTorrent through your VPN provider. Your computer will have an encrypted communication to the VPN server and someone trying to snoop on your connection will be unable to tell what you are doing.
This is managed by PPI (Pirate Parties International). The VPN service would allow members to pay with multiple currencies including Bitcoin, but they could also use a regular credit card. The cost is as low as $5 per month. Mass Pirate Party would receive half of the proceeds so we would have to ensure that we are complying with campaign finance laws.
Erix has been testing it.
3. National Party News
