Survey on Slack channel for member wall. Member wall will summarize skills and interests of fubar members. Zoltan is assisting.

Calendar (Beth)

Too many events interfere with open hack night.

Things need to be scheduled well in advance.

Beth can be contacted if people want to add events to the calendar. She should also be contacted if people want the power to edit their events.

Members only calendar should be easier to find.

Website/Wiki (Beth)

Wiki may be moved to github.

Want website to populate itself via social media, so that it doesn’t need constant maintenance.

We would like to have a system that makes it easier to take and curate pictures of fubar events and add them to the website.

Phil Gelhaus has text files of wiki content, and scripts to pull up-to-date wiki content.
