(Sober) October 1st
Biz updates:
- Hired Rachel the atmospheric scientist to do surveying; she planted trees
- Kate found glitch in IRC-Matrix bridge, maybe because of a name collision,
  was resolved but could not be reproduced
- mirc and hexchat says the SSL cert is expired, something to do with
  letsencrypt root cert expiring?

Community updates:
- townhall last month was disorganized, apologies
- end of August, kakama-sponsored real-life recruiting event, a hot
  springs hike.  a couple people are around more often and tinkering
  on matrix
- more IRL visits, including sixty native Colorado trees planted, and
  a primitive A-frame shelter for camping on the mountain
- "Kate is still upset with the state of #freefish --" "(Kate) I don't care!"
- "I miss [name]"  "the talk about murdering family with a bomb, tho."

Proposals:
- camping at the A-frame
- pro-choice rallies
- can jitsi replace mumble even with mobile devices?
- "logs are put down, but need to cover the logs with dirt, need to hire
  someone with a bulldozer, flatten out the top part of the hill, put a
  trailer up there, yeah."
- keen on funding projects like building a bioreactor ("I don't need funding
  what I need is more time, ha.")
- a proposal that could be funded would be scientific grants, very small,
  with a specific plan.  interested in ecological sustainability research.

Wetfish gaiden: Nature Preservation

  into nature conservancy

it has been twenty years, so you're allowed to talk about 9/11 on r/harrypotter now

When you're under house-arrest but people have to hear the truth about the weather.
