We briefly discussed whether we will all agree to use a Wikimedia mailing list for future discussions (to have public records on-wiki), and we agreed we will decide in-person.

It was agreed to postpone detailed decisions about how we work together to our in person meeting. However, we agreed to begin collaborating immediately regarding a timeline.

Christie explained that it was not realistic to move forward with community member involvement until the Thorg was formally established as an organization.
125:: Bob briefly described the status of arrangements for the in person meeting in Oxford. Details about shuttles from Memphis are still being worked out.
