• will send it to trent when she finds it
• Assign classes for the next month

Things we did this month

Trent - Move the repo and get everyone access to noisebridge group

• ACTION: Trent to write notes on the steps involved (meetup, mailing list, etc)

Things missed last month

Razzi - did not plan 4 week web track yet - ping him

Review what happened in the classes

Lady Red - I wish that Trent didn't need to prompt me to write the meetup event and send out the email. We could do a slack bot to ping the instructor!!
Trent: Add the stuff I made to the instructors folder as an action this month.
Elena: I would simplify it more.
Lady Red - I like that you had them actually program.
Lady Red - A lot of the people in my class were pretty quiet, and two people spoke up
Elena - you kind of have to single people out (deeper discusson about how to get people interacting with the code)
Lady Red - It sounds like we wer planning for a Thursday class but didn't do that, which is ok because we had a class every week.
Trent - yes nice to have a seamless transition as people running things
Lady Red - It would be nice to have a project manager for the thursday class
Elena - we could have an on call person that runs things each week and a slackbot could tell us who the person is
Lady Red - yeah this could help
Lady Red - Google doc - we could pin it in the pyclass instructors channel
