Hey y'all, the last two town halls got skipped due to schedule conflicts. It seems like the 1st of the month thing is difficult to schedule around because it's always on a different day every month.

Maybe it would be better to always do town hall meetings on the first Monday of the month, an hour before anime night? Basically everyone who shows up for town hall shows up for anime night anyway

Were there minutes from the July Town Hall?

evidently not,

but basically I made a list of things that needs to be done in the community and discussed them

# Wetfish Planning
## Most Important Tasks
- Upgrading the matrix server
- Automatic updates for IRC config changes
  - Make sure we include the cronjob to update letsencrypt certificates!
- Automatic updates for all other projects
  - CI/CD pipeline?

## Cool Ideas
- Network status monitor
- Better documentation for EVERYTHING???
- Bot docs
- A STANDARD for bots???
- Geographically distributed hub servers

## Main Website (wetfish.net)
- What should it even be?
- I don't like the blog that hasn't been updated since 2019
- Should the wiki become the wetifsh home page again?
- Should we have something else?
- Some kind of dedicated page explaining what Wetfish is?

## Nature Conservancy (wetfish.org)
- Design team is currently working on finishing the designs for the nature conservancy site

## Hosting & Short URLs (wet.fish)
- Finish UI for wetfish uploader
- Prototype key-based auth system in the wild
- We need a design

## Login System (login.wet.fish??)
- What domain should this even use?
- Currently using login.wetfish.net, but the old login system sucks

## Forums (wetfishonline.com)
- Should we have a redirect for forums.wetfish.net to wetfishonline??
- It's really old and needs to be updated to php7
- Needs to be more fun & interactive
- Should be able to post URLs to images and videos and auto-embed them

## Wiki (wiki.wetfish.net)
- It's really old and needs to be updated to php7
- Add support for nested lists

## Event Management Software (playa.software)
- It's moderately old and needs to be updated to laravel 9

## Meme Generator (majorleague.website)
- Front-end needs to be rewritten to use Vue or Svelte
- Back-end needs to exist

happy 9/11!!

the unabomber's story is a travesty.

but this sad story shows what masculinity must resort to. he felt it so shameful to be a woman he resorted to futile violence for an incoherent ideology

transition could have saved her but she chose deceleration & became a primmie icon lol

Who wants a huuuug?

It's fucking August, and it's rachel's birthday this month. Driving to Canada with Avery to see Swifty and Quicksand.

Everyone who noticed matrix on Android there's an encoding bug, something about ampersands and HTML encoding.  So far everyone who's been tasked with fixing it got overwhelmed, so rachel hired a service (not servant) to fix it, recommended by the docker container maintainers

Also need to update IRC server, max # of allowed channels for a single user, so the matrix bridge (bot) can't join every channel. rachel needs a #moonfish channel yesterday, gosh darn it!

Hired two more people.  Contract ended with Waves (thank goodness), so we can work on moon stuff.  Got re-hired for the moon job.  Hired Weazy to do moon stuff, maybe for server config stuff too.  Rachel can't talk about the wifi access point's missle hardpoints -- because she signed an NDA.  Thousand-page requirements document from NASA, whoopie!

Nature Conservatory:  need a mini PC for the weather station, the arduino we have now needs rebooting weekly, and that sucks.  Rainfall got us a minor flood hooray.  Getting free compost from a food rescue, mixing with hay.  Unfinished compost smells very bad.  rachel needs help moving logs around to build terraces.  meleeman always has fun working the land. Rachel posted Dan's mock-ups of the new Wetfish Conservation website.

Rachel sounds like she's in a bathroom stall because she's got a fan cooling her off.  ceph sounds like a Half-Life 1 marine.

Grousing about videos that have sponsor messages diluting content, rachel recommended "sponsor-block," mozai and ceph just seek past the first third of the video.
