Present: Rob, Simon, Sarah, Wade, Maggie, Jade.

At Assemble, Stubbs St & online.

• Maggie – cross fertilisation, enthusiasm for sharing information
• Simon - Visibility of MBT is surprising – not labouring in obscurity
• Sarah – we’re keeping up regular meetings
• Rob – good energy around the meetups – last one not dependent on us – coming from group itself.
• Wade – generally (beyond MBT) interest globally to do things aligned with what we’re trying to do – and that creates an environment to create the momentum we need.
• Jade – Energy in Coop Cloud
• Simon – getting enquiries asking for collaboration
• Sarah – in touch with Catalyst – could link up with their Federation
• Jade – good number onto Raspberry Pis
• Sarah – referees easy to get for grant – supporters in community

• Simon – frustrating not having more time to contribute (for a few of us)
• Jade – process of setting up nodes following instructions is not working – no one has completed yet
• Sarah – difficult not having visibility – where are they at, how are they feeling, broader visibility question. Brings up issue of continued connection and community of those who want to be involved
• Wade – scope to better harness that energy and identify what needs to be done, direct the energy
• Jade – don’t have a venue that has everything we need – missed out on this with Balam Balam
• Rob – not enough time personally to set up Meet-ups – need a better process to set up, organise talks (or not – seemed to be good energy for working). How to gather ideas.

• Sarah – Digital Justice Lounge is something we could pick up and run, start to deliver, inform people how to get off big tech.
• Jade – Would like to get off big tech faster – but all groups are still in this bind.
• Sarah - Finding a way to interact, involve people who are keen but not into building nodes
• Wade – need for other decentralised infrastructure apart from nodes. Eg countering age verification by creating parallel networks – but not sure if this scope matches MBT
• Jade – more useful connections with other resilience groups; conflict resolution; working with Wurundjeri – digital sovereignty; MBT mural; office in a Fawkner Resilience Hub
