Summary

Pirate Picnic. Not our biggest turnout, but it was still a good event. The bananna bread was wonderful. Weather was good.

Video streaming. Steve may have a workable solution with icecast. Still needs more testing, but holds promise.

Aaron James Campaign. Going door to door every Saturday. We hit 100--150 houses last Saturday. Another campaign event on Aug 30th at the Somerville Armory. Overall, we've gotten positive responses when campaigning.

Surveillance camera map. Some folks in Cambridge may use the map to advocate for fewer cameras. Jamie planning to write a simple set of instructions/how-to. An iphone and/or android app to simplify workflow would be nice. Will put out a call to volunteers, to see if anyone is interested in working on an app.

Run for local office conference. In Boston area, tentatively Nov 12th. Possible resources:

The latter lists which towns have representative vs open town meetings.

Would like to work with moses to have a run for local office conference in western ma.

https://calc.mayfirst.org/8wt0npgcy1 - start of work to assemble deadlines for the different municipalities. Steve will put out a call to pirate volunteers for research.

Piratecon recordings. These are posted at https://archive.org/details/masspirates. Audio from municipal rights talk will go up this weekend.
