Notes for October 11 2018 meeting:
Georg: 1) Anti-censorship team hiring plan/progress?
Alison: 1) I think the meeting was awesome. Gus in particular did an incredible job getting lots of locals involved. I like the method of starting with a Tor training before the meeting. I have some ideas for how things could have gone better but overall I'm happy with it. Going to shoot out an email today or tomorrow for meeting feedback, with a reminder to people to put their notes on the wiki. I will also start a round of thank-yous to some locals, and try to do a debrief with the folks who were at the feminist meetup (which was amazing). Immediate feedback from this group? 2) Thoughts about the next Tor Meeting -- Stockholm doesn't seem to work for many people, other ideas given were Athens or Lisbon closer to our regular meeting time. I was thinking I'd make a survey after the meeting group gets back to me with possible costs etc. 3) Working on a Library Freedom website makeover and rebrand. 4) Finishing up LFI curriculum for the pilot, starting work on the next one. 5) Finishing up the community team roadmap. We have a lot of travel coming up. 6) Next week I'm starting to prep for LFI recruitment, which will begin in December or so. 7) Library Freedom starts the Glass Room Experience in North American libraries next week!
