We will also vote on establishing one or more committees, namely:
- An accounting/finance committee (see recent meeting notes at
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Accounting ) to better distribute
purchase / budgeting responsibilities
- An advisory committee (consisting of notable allies in community
wireless / net neutrality who could serve as advisors and advance our
fundraising abilities)
- Suggested: Node Mounting and Software/Firmware committees consisting
of experienced/"certified" volunteers with more formalized processes
around, for example, safety and access, respectively.
If you cannot attend the meeting in person but would like to participate,
remote participation is possible - just send a followup reply to this email!
