Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to our Thursday meet-up. It
turned out to be a great night, with so much to talk about that some
discussion ideas were skipped and we still ran over time!


== Topics covered ==

Main discussion topics of the night included:

 * Committee election

 * H-Node
   http://h-node.org/

 * Think Penguin
   https://www.thinkpenguin.com/

 * Raster Storage Engine
   https://github.com/vpac/rsa

 * Software Freedom Day
   http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/

More on the wiki (see below).


== Meeting notes now on our Wiki ==

I'd like to announce that going forward, I will try to post meeting
notes on our wiki. This will make for easy reference going forward, as
well as allow for edits by anyone with more information in case I missed
something or made an error. Ben has put a lot of work into setting it up
and keeping it spam-free, so it would be a shame not to make the most of
his efforts.

I have added the June meeting notes page here:

== Committee elections ==

Perhaps the most important discussions for the night related to planning
how the committee would work (such as questioning the number of
committee members required), identifying and assigning responsibilities,
and ultimately deciding who would be on the committee by way of election.

It was decided that committee members will hold their position for a six
month period, at which time elections will once again be held. This
short period was partly agreed upon to be fairer for those who were
unable to attend the night and missed the opportunity to vote or request
nominations. Those elected, and the positions of those elected, include:

President: Alex Fraser
Vice President: Ben Sturmfels
Secretary: Adam Bolte
Treasurer: Ben Finney

Responsibilities that these roles entail will also be added to the wiki
shortly.


Cheers,
Adam
