Correspondence, reports, and action items

 * Stickers: Miles has actioned the stickers, est delivery (to Miles) 2nd-8th July
 * Congress venue: booked, all that needs to happen is key pickup the day before
 * Bryn is fine for that.
 * Bond is refundable, should be fine there
 * Congress hardware:
 * Bryn has contacted a local audio place:
 * mixer, 6 mics, stands, speakers, EQs, etc: $260/day
 * then noted that two mics needed to be wireless: $400/day
 * this is out of budget, so let's work it down
 * Alex suggests we need three mics, not six: one for the presenter/chair, one for the Speaker for the Chat, one wireless for audience roving (and maybe not even an audience one)
 * https://pad.pirateparty.org.au/p/ppau_congress_2019_planning
 * also some chat around OBS and stream screens and such
 * Bryn has it under control and will be sharing the setup for next time
