Previous meeting's minutes

 * edited to fix spelling in Bens name
 * See Motions

Site Blocking

 * We started working on another howto guide
 * http://pad.pirateparty.org.au/p/censorshiphowtoguide
 * It needs to be for people who aren't IT savvy... so keep it simple
 * if it makes the readers eyes glaze over in technical jargon it will be useless
 * we have about a week until this actually comes into effect.
 * Probably work it from easiest to most complex
 * I think we should aim to have the content done by the monday...
 * Needs people to make sure the info is correct and understandable for non-IT people
 * PR on this topic brought in a lot of traffic and was a well written headline

Congress

 * IT and DanielJ were going to check out venue in person on Saturday but DanielJ cant make it.
 * IT will still check it out, either Sat or later date
 * unraveled will most likely make it at least for the saturday, so she will bring the banners down
 * Venue is all paid for now and confirmed etc
 * Need to book that PA etc
 * Will also check the internet reception etc at venue, if need be can revive the Vodaphone sim from last year, but checking venue first.
 * DanielJ has possession of dongle from last time as Keating had posted it down

Nominations/NC

 * Mel, Brendan and David all confirmed not rerunning, so we will need to scout for some new blood most likely as well
 * if you know of anyone that would be suitable, please suggest it to them etc
 * Frew has been talking to a couple folks but noone has committed yet as far as we know

General Business
