Attending: Brandon, Steve, Kendra.
Voices
Press release. Steve will write sometime in the next couple of days.
Spam conventions. One spammer got through the captcha. Since captcha is only used for login, we decide to make it ridiculously long (10 characters).
Spam Cleanup? Delete the offending post. Delete the offending poster. That's probably okay for now.
It sucks being hacked =
Skimmed over http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/all/.
Ouch -- that's painful.
Electoral Politics debate
We have a few people interested. It's turning into a three-sided debate: pro, con, and something else. (Not yet sure what the third position is.)
We could do this at community church of Boston on Monday night, during time traditionally allocated to community gatherings.
Thinking after labor day (Sep 10th or 24th). Kendra will contact Greg Murphy regarding availability of dates.
Donated Computers
There are a number of donated machines sitting in OBs storage space. We should figure out what to do with them, or donate them. Maybe donate a few to tecschange? We don't have to donate everything, but we could definitely downsize.
Brandon also has a few OBIT machines, that he would like to free himself of. (Thinkpad, G5 in need of parts, a few linksys routers running WWRT).
