+- Follow-up on what was discussed during our last call (see the minutes

+  on 21 June 2024 and the email sent to guix-devel⁰ on 25 June
+  2024). Where are we with the idea of a name change (Guix London to
+  Guix Social), possible changes to the Guix website, and various other
+  activities that were mentioned?
+- Guix Social/Outreach: if/how to implement the sociocracy model,
+  discuss Arun's email "Sociocracy plans" of 3 July 2024.
+- Next online/in-person events, pipeline of activities and speakers.
+- Tentative date for our next call.
+
+* Minutes
+- (Arun) main benefit for me is to have consensus and everyone having a 
+turn to speak.
+- (Steve) no objections to trying it out.
+- (Fabio) like it a lot - also gives us some legitimacy / foundation on 
+an established model and transparency. Allows others to join.
+- Consensus decision making: consent, no objection, objection
+     - Arun: consent
+     - Steve: consent
+     - Fabio: consent
+
+- (Fabio) change to Guix.social - one concern is that it can be 
+considered a bit aggressive. Advocate for the group be as open as possible.
+- (Steve) where does the concern come from?
+     - (Fabio) no specific concern, my character and previous experience.
+- Consensus q: Confirm that we're happy with the email from last time
+     - Fabio: consent
+     - Arun: no objection
+     - Steve: consent
+
+- Guix Website
+     - Adding a link on a general page
+
+- Future plan

+     - Fabio: Richard Smith
+     - Steve:
+         - Was going to ask Andrew Tropin
+         - Roman ?
