 Hey y'all

A group of us met yesterday and discussed the formation of an Inreach Task
Force. As I'm sure many of you are aware of, since the eviction of Dewey
Square there have been a multitude of problems that have come to the
forefront due to lack of centralized physical space. The goal of this task
force will be to implement and improving internal communications in a
post-dewey occupation.

Our next meeting will be on Saturday at 8 O'clock at my home in Somerville.
(Yes, we are aware that this cuts into GA, but we decided last night as a
group that this would be the best time.) I will not post my address to an
email list due to security concerns, but if you want to come help solve
these problems and don't know where I live, please feel free to call me and
I will tell you the address.

In solidarity,
Ben

> -multiple WG's are overlapping
> -Unclear working groups and the need to *consolidate*
> -We need *Announcement* forums and *Discussion * forums

> -no methods for security in communication
> -the need for calendar updates and calendar blasts
> -Its hard to find contacts for groups
> -Hard to get the ball rolling on any ideas
