[9:09pm] yari: Moving on to outreach. Wodensday ?
[9:11pm] Wodensday: We had a meeting on Tuesday where we mostly discussed our future with video content. Information on how to hand revokable keys to YouTube should be in all of the right hands by now. We also have a resolution for the PNC regarding the Tik Tok account, which is currently unofficial.
[9:13pm] yari: Ah, thank you for the reminder on that.
[9:13pm] yari: Cool, please bring up the resolution in new business!
[9:14pm] Wodensday: Excellent!
[9:14pm] Frank: Frank Decapio, West Virginia. 
[9:14pm] Frank: I am sorry that I wasn't able to attend the meeting last week.
[9:14pm] yari: I'd also like to follow up with you about something that was reported for the committee last meeting. There was a mention of weekly writing of articles. Any progress on setting up a system of sharing responsibility for doing that?
[9:15pm] yari: Thanks for the ID, Frank. And no worries, welcome.
[9:16pm] Wodensday: The infrastructure is there, though everyone with the ability to drive and use it has been a bit occupied with other activities as of late. We can figure out how to jumpstart that and ensure we get stuff moving.
[9:16pm] Wodensday: *ability and drive to
[9:16pm] Wodensday: (in other words, it’s been a heck of a week for me, but I have a plan)
[9:17pm] Bosun: Keep driving forward.
[9:18pm] yari: ^
[9:18pm] yari: Cool. Glad to hear it's on the radar.
[9:18pm] yari: Thank you for your diligence.
[9:18pm] yari: Moving on then. Platform, Joe?
[9:18pm] Radiojoe joined the chat room.
[9:19pm] Radiojoe: Hello all
[9:19pm] Joe: I missed last week due to personal reasons but plan to start off right tomorrow.
[9:19pm] jokeefe: ahoy
[9:19pm] Joe: Ahoy radiojoe
[9:19pm] yari: Hi RadioJoe. ID please
[9:20pm] Radiojoe: William Dappen CA
[9:20pm] Wodensday: Joe, if you need help pulling this platform stuff off, don’t hesitate to reach out
[9:20pm] Joe: I see we have lots of great discussion though which is the point so I think its something that is greater than me and glad to see continue.
[9:21pm] yari: Sounds good Joe. To Wodensday's point, you are free to organize the committee however you wish, so long as someone is able to make reports to the PNC at the end of the week.
[9:21pm] Joe: I appreciate your support, believe it or not I have a lot of it already done by some folk in mass for q solid base
[9:22pm] Joe: That said, I need all the help I can get.
[9:22pm] yari: Joe, I think reaching out to the other members on discord might not be a bad idea
[9:22pm] yari: Especially the regulars
[9:22pm] Joe: If we could get a slice of the wiki and someone to upload it would br great
[9:23pm] Joe: Wodensday, mqy I reach out after the meeting?
[9:23pm] Joe: *may
[9:23pm] yari: Of note, RadioJoe has been working on the wiki a bunch recently.
[9:23pm] Wodensday: Of course! DMs are always open
[9:24pm] yari: And Wodensday, I would gently remind you to not take on too many responsibilities.
[9:24pm] Joe: Part of my problem atm 
[9:24pm] yari: Not trying to dissuade you from this, just...
[9:25pm] yari: It's better if we include new volunteers where possible!
[9:25pm] Wodensday: Haha, trust me, I’m getting way better at that. This whole outreach chair thing has been a valuable learning experience in knowing my limitations
[9:26pm] Wodensday: I will try to keep my scope within the scope intended of me
[9:26pm] yari: So Joe will there be a meeting tomorrow then?
[9:27pm] Joe: Yes, because of the delay I plan to open up two topics instead of one.
[9:27pm] yari: Sounds good.
[9:27pm] Joe: Internet as a right
