Awesome job, everyone. I'm looking forward to all the events we'll be having soon.
Regarding the Tuesday events instead of meetings, this has been discussed before. According to our bylaws[1] we only need to have them every other week. I believe that the last time this idea came up, the consensus was that we should do something every week on Tuesday, but if nothing else was planned we should have a meeting. Personally, I'm in favour of events on Tuesday nights. We are getting to the point where weekly meetings are not as critical as they once were, and more time between meetings means we have more time to gather agenda items and finish up meeting minutes (in addition to the obvious awesome events to engage in between meetings). Perhaps someone else from the board would like to share their thoughts as well.
