+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The meeting was opened.
+\item \meetingchairman\ was elected meeting chairman, \meetingsecretary\ meeting secretary, and \approval\ approval.
+\item The agenda was confirmed.
+\item The going through of minutes from \lastmeetingdate\ was postponed.
+\item Reports
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item Economy
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Roughly five old and new members have paid, some for 2015.
+ \item Again, a member asked through email about family
+ membership. The question has previously been brought up on a
+ membership meeting, and the decision then was that family
+ memberships are not priority.
+ \item One aspect of family memberships is that children are not
+ fully solitary. That is they can not take substantial economical
+ decisions of their own and can not be granted voting power as
+ grown up members.
+ \item The family membership question relates to the questions
+ about accounts th\-rou\-gh association members. It as previously
+ been suggested that a model should be developed for how
+ associations can create accounts for a reduced fee. Developing
+ such a model and reuse it for family memberships can be one way
+ forward.
+ \item Gustav will replay with what was said above together with an
+ encouragement to suggest a thought through model in time for the
+ yearly meeting.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item System
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item The host \civett\ is up and running and configured as
+ secondary \mx. The \dns\ is configured for load balancing with
+ \elefant. There are now three \mx\ service hosts.
+ \item The panel can be installed on \civett\ when time allows.
+ \item There was one incident where \civett\ did not boot from
+ remote, but after power cycle the remote boot up went fine. The
+ machine did not yet host any services at that point.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item No other reports.
+ \end{enumerate}
+\item Activity days and other activities
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item Previous activities
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Kulturnatta, October 10. Fripost took part in
+ Omställningsnatta with a seminar, the last seminar in the
+ Omställningsnatta series. Gustav, Lola, and Guilhem represented
+ Fripost, and around ten guests participated. As decided, the
+ articles that Leif-Jöran has found were used as poster size
+ enlargements. Gustav gave a lecture, taking them as starting
+ point. Many interesting questions were raised and the seminar
+ president decided to prolong the time with 30 minutes to late
+ night.
+ \item Omställningskonferensen, October 11. Fripost had a table
+ during one day of the conference. Gustav and Lola attended the
+ table. Posters from Omställningsnatta was used. About 100
+ flyers were handed out, which is good. No forum play was
+ arranged. The activity was successful, and there is a point in
+ repeating it.
+ \item Activity day on accessibility, Octover 18. The day was very
+ successful and productive. Dolphin had a pedagogical
+ presentation where she efficiently brought in the attendees
+ expertise. Seven people participated in the seminar, five at the
+ preceding lunch, and four for festivities afterwards. One new
+ member was recruited. See Fripost's wiki for more.
+ \item Table at \fscons, October 31--November 2. Fripost had a
+ table, that was attended by Gustav, Guilhem, Olle, Viktor, and
+ Navid. Having a table was definitely worth. The same material
+ was used as for Omställningsnatta and Omställningskonferensen,
+ and the table was extra decorated. Quote from the Mozilla table:
+ ``Fripost is everywhere''. The \fsfe\ representative was
+ informed about Fripost's origin. Quite a few people, and not
+ only the usual suspects, stopped by. One new member was
+ recruited.
+ \item Talk at \fscons, October 31--November 2. Guilhem presented
+ Fripost's technology. There were even more things that Guilhem
+ wanted to bring up. Guilhem will follow up a discussion with a
+ person from Oslo next weekend. We were informed about a similar
+ initiative in at a Poland hackerspace. There are both
+ similarities and differences between the two initiatives. The
+ contact will be sustained. They focus on other things, such as
+ own cloud and etherpad. They are interested in Fripost's
+ \ldap\ solution.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item The recent activities have reveled many subject for coming
+ activities. None planned yet.
+ \end{enumerate}
+\item Outreach and information spread
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item No items were followed up.
+ \item We should inform about the recent activities and about
+ \civett\ when the panel is installed.
+ \end{enumerate}
+\item The to do list was postponed.
+\item No other issues.
+\item Next meeting will take place December 1 at 18:00 at Språkbanken.
+\item The meeting was closed.
