+
+## Capsul Conversation
+
+Forest brough up that J3s and forest want to split Capsul out from Cyberia
+and into a separate organization
+
+ - cyberia still gets free vms and most likely some amount of the revenue
+
+ - Transfer some or most?? of the money from the capsul revenues into the
+ new organization
+
+ - Forest and j3s have been supporting capsul on thier own for years,
+ makes sense to re-organize around the reality on the ground
+
+
+
+## Agenda Items?
+
+ - Dissolve the Hardware liberation branch
+ - Amend Bylaws to include responsibility to document work of officers
+ - Change "powers" to "powers/responsibilities"
+ - Add a responsibiltiy to each officer position, stating that the officer must
+ log/document thier work and processes in an accessible way, on a discoverable
+ public platform like cyberia wiki
+
+
+## Discussion Of Lack Of Documentation
+- Lack of documentation around processes, what has been done, what needs to be done,
+ access to accounts, etc.
+ - Sanine had to meet with chris in person to get access to treasury documents
+ - Reese created VaultWarden https://pass.cyberia.club/
+ - Accounts are invite only, ask Reese or someone who already has an account
+ - initially used for LZ but can be used for Cyberia as well, might want to
+ make a separate VaultWarden Org. already done👍
+
+ - reese: i can write some documentation on the wiki
+
+ - Bylaws:
+ - Outgoing officers responsible for handing off the work / walking incoming
+ officer through the process
+ - Officers are responsible for documenting/logging thier work in full, in a
+ public **DISCOVERABLE** location i.e. cyberia wiki
+ - Look at current bylaws: https://git.cyberia.club/cyberia/bylaws#article-8-officers
+
+
+
+We are running over on time.
