==Older notes==
 
 
 
1) framing our goals as a group
 
 
 
2) how to broaden this discussion and bring in more voices as we move forward
 
 
 
3) concrete actions to achieve balanced participation in the free software community
 
 
 
 
 
Myself, Hillary and Adelaida met for lunch on August 19th to start sharing some ideas. Two things that came up were:
 
1) Linkages with other freedom movements and activist communities
 
2) Our web presence does not provide good entry points for those new to our issues
