Agenda
- Introductions : no new faces this time. Lazur, Ryan, Pacer, z3z, Martin, Maren were attending.

- The official Facebook account is not maintained since March. Make plans to get access to it and post our info regularly again (or close it?) - known persons with access: Josh, Tim, Robert Sterbal.: Dormant until Tim's return, same for Instagram.
- Chemnitzer Linuxtage are happening again on March 12/13 2022, online. Should we have a booth again? Registration is open until January 10 2022. : Yes, we should have a booth, Ryan and Martin already volunteered to give a short presentation.
- SCALE booth? March 3-6, 2022 in Pasadena, CA https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/19x : _No, sorry, not this time. Maybe next time, if COVID let's us. _
- Vectors Hackfest : Yes! Maybe as a subdivision of a project-wide hackfest, that was suggested in the PLC meeting the day before.
- Other Social media account review: which ones are maintained? Which ones need help? Which ones use a phone number / email address that is inaccessible to us?: Kind of skipped.

- Social media: call for donations for SFC campaign - skipped...
- Forum Status report: Spammers get smarter, which is annoying.
- Challenge experiences - how is it going? : Challenges get increasingly more attention, which is great! Challenge SVG files are being uploaded into the Nextcloud by Pacer. After the meeting, Pacer suggested trying out more community involvement and more highlighting of challenge artwork, I believe he's going to start working on that :D

Conversations can continue after the hour... (If participants have time.)
Note: In order to make the meeting accessible to people with tight schedules we're working to keep it to 60 minutes. If an item above requires more than the limited time allotted, discussions may continue after the meeting, next month, or at separately scheduled times. All of these are important issues that warrant attention. Thanks for your patience with the effort to accommodate everyone.
