11/23/20 Minutes: Answering Emails, Winter Events

In attendance: Ty, Marc (secretary), Jackson

Meeting Began: 7:05 PM

Emails:

We got an email from the Feral Crust Collective from the Philippines; they’re working on getting a mini-cab (like a small truck) and requested donations to get this so they can carry stuff around and transport people. We’ll examine our treasury and consider a potential figure.

Second email was from a comrade offering to help out with the library cataloging project, and wanted links to the meeting. Ty responded and said he could send the link next week/whenever she’s available. He also explained that we want to organize the physical library better, but also catalog things to make the collection searchable online.

December Panel:

Wyatt got into contact with one panelist, who has confirmed the time/date. Jackson has not heard back from the other two panelists; one panelist has agreed to the time/date, but the other has not responded.

We still need to have a discussion about what the panelists would like to say/talk about before we can advertise the event; it’s coming up quickly.

Marc brought up making the event description fairly vague until we lock down more information about who’s participating and what they’d like us to include in the description.

Jackson is taking point on writing up the first version of the event description.

Ty and Marc tested recording the event (with the panelists’ permission) on Jitsi. We have not tested with livestreaming yet.

We also tested some additional recording capabilities of Jitsi—such as whether it captures the chat, and how sharing YouTube videos works on the platform.

Winter Calendar:

Panel discussion on the 12th of December – Jackson is working on the description.

Counter-protest for Walk for Life – Marc drafted the description and Jackson worked on revising it a bit to provide more context. After revision, Marc and Ty approved the finalized description. Jackson posted the event on Facebook.

We likely cannot commit to doing childcare this year due to COVID. People may not need childcare for this reason, as well.

We also won’t be able to host a sign-making party as well, sadly.
