BigDOCC Meeting March 4, 2014 Notes

It was a slow start this morning but plenty of people showed up in the end. There were 23 attendees. As usual, the conversation was as diverse as the people. As usual, BitCoin was on the agenda - will it ever get old?

NOTE : Reach out to me on Twitter with any updates @calendee.

Forgive me if I get some names wrong or miss them completely. Sometimes it's difficult to hear everyone speaking.

  • Marta - Sorry I accused you of being a newcomer! She's an old hat at this BigDOCC stuff.
  • @noddfw - Sorry I didn't catch your name. If you're looking for co-working space, this might be the place. Do y'all have a "real" website?
