People's Open Network Weekly Meeting - 17 July 2018 7:30pm-9pm

Software WG Meeting 5pm-7pm

Discussion: Use GitHub's 'Review' feature more. When we make PRs, what if we always request a review from someone and wait for a 'looks good to me' before merge?
Review other PRs and decide to merge/close/take action items to code review
Extra time: Review open GitHub Issues

Introduce yourself: Name; Preferred Pronoun; Icebreaker Response; BRIEF Announcements

Icebreaker question: best thing that will have happened for you this summer

blake - no pronoun preference - i dunno, been pretty broke this summer. might get a job soon.
mai - she or they - camp tipsy was definitely a highlight. I'm going to Cleveland, OH, next month. Driving back with my sister and Mom! That'll be fun.
- feminist business assessment: I'm part of this thing called Enspiral out of NZ. Loomio, Cobudget, SSB, etc. In particular, I'm part of an incubator within it, in which we're assessing ourselves.
- We've each been assigned to undergo a feminist business assessment by next Friday. Someone from our organization, if interested, would provide me with feedback.
- If anyone else would like to be assessed, I'd be happy to do the same.
- Announcement#2: I enrolled in CCSF to work towards a wireless networking certificate (see https://www.ccsf.edu/en/educational-programs/cte/ict.html .)
- This fall is introduction to networks and wireless LANs. Classes are online.
  - Fall and spring. 5 classes altogether. All online. Feel free to join me!

jake - it/that or whatever - I'm not supposed to say. Best thing so far, though, was Bedtime for Democracy. Coolest boat on the water.
