OK, here are the notes I took a the meeting yesterday. Feel free to add, change, delete, and post on the Wiki for further mangling...
--Bob.
== LibrePlanet Ontario Meeting ==
=== Tuesday, 20 January 2015, 6:30pm to 8:30pm ===
Duke of Kent Pub, Yonge & Eglinton, Toronto, Ontario
(bullet points rearranged slightly from the order in which they were discussed)
==== Meetings ====
* Host some meetings in other locations, eg. Kitchener-Waterloo or Ottawa
* There was some interest from people in KW, but lack of easy/cheap prevents them from attending meetings in KW
* There have been sightings of Libre Software people from the Otttawa area in the IRC channel ( irc://irc.freenode.net/#lp-ca-on )
* Meetings should be scheduled at regular times and at a regular venue
* We'll try the Alleyne Computer Centre (???)
* Meetings on a Saturday would encourage turnout from other localities
* Hold virtual meetings to alternate with meatspace meetings
* Streamcast meatspace meetings with a full stack of Libre software
* The software demonstrated
* The platform OS running the software demonstrated
* The streamcasting recording/broadcast software
* The editing software
* The output format should be in an open format, released under a Free Culture license
==== Web site ====
* Set up web site http://libreplanetontario.ca (???) to re-redirect to the Wiki page http://wiki.libreplanet.net/wiki/Ontario (???)
* Post an RSS feed aggregator on a subdomain http://news.libreplanetontario.ca (???)
* Potential feeds: Blaise Alleyne's blog, !Libreplanet group in the !Fediverse, Wiki updates
* Wiki should have sub-pages for chapters, eg. Kitchener-Waterloo, Ottawa, Toronto
* Put them all in a Category:LibrePlanetOntario
==== Other ====
* Matt Lee from the FSF will be coming to Toronto on (??? Dates ???)
* Invite Matt Lee to speak at the next LibrePlanet Ontario meeting
* There should certainly be a post-meeting meeting at a local pub!
* Free Software projects could have a "Product Channel"
* Corporations can issue RFQs, Purchase Orders, buy a license, get it all OK'd by their Legal Dept.
* Channel partners (independent consultants, perhaps the developers) can provide support
* Dual-license for corporate use? Maybe, maybe not.
* May result in things like Marketing Managers on Free Software products; project focus being driven by sales rather than what's good for the project
