Subject: Notes from Friday August 5 meeting

I tried to take notes at Friday's meeting to capture the spirit and some of the ideas that were being flung around. Upon reflection, transcribing a tape recording would be a much more worthwhile experience. The notes, produced unedited below, reflect the free form nature of the meeting:
