- <span>food pantry does not have regular meetings in which to relay information like this</span>
- <span>i think the gym is also not having regular meetings</span>
- <span>more people are murmoring about the fact that there was no announcement made on the WB WF or patreon </span>
- <span>shea is willing to take on making the admin committee signs that explains who and what they are with contact info</span>
- <span>lp: this can iterate into a much larger sign that explains the entire structure of the space</span>
- <span>we need better announcements for the planning meetings. remind people again day-of</span>
- <span>what should we do about the 2-week window within which we can make proposals. it feels like too long of a window for a cutoff for proposals.</span>
- <span>we could shorten the time, get consensus, then have window of time for blockers</span>
- <span> lp suggestion: have an open question asking &amp; collection session before a break</span>
