Great! So let's plan on 1/27 at 4 pm EST.
Here's a video from the last hangout (in October, yikes):

I tried to look at the etherpad, but I think it might have been deleted
because 30 days went by without edits, can someone confirm that?

Here's a link to the agenda for the October meeting:
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Equality/Meeting/20121014

At the bottom it has action items which are basically all the same I think.
In my view, we have a lot of content, and maybe should focus on how to
organize it on the website, and then get it up there.

I know people have already contributed bios, personal stories about
discrimination, resources, and a mission statement, but where was that
captured (hopefully not the etherpad?).

Looking forward to hanging out on Sunday :)
