Excellence

Our One Rule is to Be Excellent to Each Other.

Meeting notes

Dan meeting notes are hard, and inaccurate meeting notes can cause misconstrued Language that might not actually represent what was actually said. Also Editing notes after the fact can be difficult as well And cause issues.

Talking detected, no notes? notes resumed, most excellent volunteer'd do-ocracy!

Dan: Bad secretary in the old days caused issues when they changed The Outcome Of Concensus In notes. It was noticed By a distant noisebridger

Dan: Current secretary knows painful process, they'll figure something out. Dan: Possible solution: summarize important things in meetings, or summary of previous meeting in next meeting notes. Might compound on itself. Meetings are best understood by attendees, although online is distracting.

Pyconaut- I have Had A few people offer to take our notes and make a weekly summary. Does this person need to be at the meeting to create The Summary?

J - what's going on? Hi, I'm J, I'm jack of all trades, master of none, but better than none.

Dan - (summarizes what's been happening) Dan reading last weeks concensus item To those who haven't heard it.

Jay- are people at least checking on the space

Dan-yes but not often
