Minutes

 * Tim opened meeting at 18:40
 * Thaiis mentioned venue is remarkably noisy.
 * Tim and Peter still to chat to Stu from Tas Quartermasters re: possible venue change
 * Tim emailed everyone on branch formation working group earlier in the week to catch up, no replies yet.
 * Promo flyer Craige did needs work as it refers to the state election earlier in the year (although Tim has large stock of pre-election flyers which are still OKish for general use).
 * Be good to have PPAU business card (i.e. card for the party, not for a person) for handing out. Tim mentioned this to Brendan on IRC who said he'd ask Jarrod to do a design.
 * Thomas Randle got figures from state cinema - circa $1-1.5K to screen something (well within the range of a small crowdfund or reasonable ticket price for ~100 punters).
 * Concern raised over social media policy -- no need for initials on twitter posts, makes transparency difficult WRT who's posting what, when.
 * Discussion around how best to handle/run social media, especially for visibility in Tasmania.
 * United We Stand event this coming Saturday at City Hall Hobart - we should attend.
 * There's a Tasmanian Fabian Society Relaunch Event ("How do we rebuild progressive politics in Tasmania?") next Wednesday (20th August). Tim will attempt to attend and make noise about PPAU. For details see:

Action Items

 * Possible screening of The Internet's Own Boy (Aaron Swartz documentary):
 * Tim to contact distribution rightsholder about possibility of local screening. Yes, there's a CC-BY-NC-SA version on archive.org which we could run with, but it seems best to attempt official contact, especially if general Australian distribution might happen anyway.
 * Tim to also check with State Cinema in case they're already planning on showing this movie some time soon.
 * Tim and Peter to chat to Tas Quatermasters re: meeting venue, probably next Thursday (21st), but sooner rather than later!
