-Internet Stuff-

There will be a future Website Workshop held either at Dancylvania or HTFC. We Discussed the possibility of switching to Drupal software instead of HTML code and possibly moving to rise up site in the future. We are in the process of creating a Photobucket account to post the newsletters and fliers. The theory behind this is having a place where anyone can upload/print flyers/zines/newsletters to help distribute.

At the end of each meeting everyone will discuss which events each of us will be attending for the next week. We are in the processing of putting together a couple of crates with tabling supplies. This is a great way of having DIY actively in the community.
