Reviewed events: Arisia cryptoparty, four mile march (notes at 2015 Event Notes).

PirateCon 2015. Democracy center is booked up for weekends in April and May. We choose April 25th as the conference day. Community church is tentative location -- we'll put down a deposit now.

From poll, the top topics are

  1. Net neutrality & Open Government
  2. pirate strategy
  3. building third party coalitions & filing FOIA/public records requests
  4. income inequality
  5. running campaigns

Steve will contact Muckrock, re: participating in FOIA campaign.

Jamie will contact Boston Open Government group.

Net neutrality. Perhaps contact BNN, freepress, SCATV

Feb 14th cryptoparty is 11:00 - 3:00pm. Steve would like to do presentation on how browsers leak information (aka corporate surveillance). Perhaps Andrew Lewman on Tor. Would be nice to record the session. Micky offered to do a session on OTR.
