Andrew and I were discussing this a bit after the last meeting, and based on
that discussion, my proposal is (c) let's go through the project nominations
in FIFO (First In First Out) order.  The nominator must provide a
description of the project and the method of contribution to the cabal, and
optionally a 'why this is a great project' statement, to be read by someone
(preferably the nominator) at the meeting.  Once a project has been 'project
of the month', it can not be contributed to again unless (i) the project
queue is empty, or (ii) one year has passed.  If someone has an argument
against a particular project, they can present that at the meeting (or ask
the cabal to read a statement, no anonymous statements allowed).  This keeps
it simple, fair, and no one can "stuff the ballot box" without it being
fairly obvious.

If this arrangement becomes unmanageable we can always come up with a better
solution.

It was my understanding that the results of the prior meeting's fishbowl
> contributions would be announced at the next meeting.


Sounds good to me.  With luck we can post this info on kwlug.org as well,
which will also serve to keep track of which projects are ineligible for
repeat- see (ii) above.
