**Feburary 2020**

1. Finances (RB)  
**Ryan**  
– ~128K in Bank, this is after venue costs from RubyConf 2020 and bills. $23k from the conference (this is excluding sponsorship money)

2. RubyConf AU  
**Pat**  
– it was a success! 300 attendees  
_Conference Feedback:_  
**Lee**  
– There were not as many technical talks as previous years  
– Getting geographic location of attendees, this could help with getting discounts on flights through travel companies  
**Kieran**  
– Some people like having the booths separate from the conference as a space to socialise

3. Rails Camps (KA)  
**Kieran**  
– Website up, 1 ticket sale.

4. Rails Girls (LS)  
**Lee**  
– Found venue scheduled for April 18  
– Make centralised rails girls slack channel

5. Website  
**Pat**  
– getting new committee members onto website

6. Sponsorship (AM)  
**Ryan**  
– sending invoice off to Twilio

7. Meets  
**Pat**  
– reaching out to all the meetups to get them under the one account to align code of conduct and sponsors  
– will contact Brisbane ruby meetup organiser to get RubyAU added as a co-organiser and to get the event page copy updated.  
– to write up code of conduct guidelines to send out to all the meetup organisers  
**Lee**  
– talked about our reliance on meetup and that we could investigate other alternatives.  
**Kieran**  
– Suggested blurb outlining things that all Ruby Australia events were required to display on event pages and at meetups

8. Occasional Business  
**Pat**  
– too soon to tell when we’re going to do another conference.  
**Lee**  
– Suggestion for next ruby conf, discounts on tickets for people that bring a friend
