<!-- best practices for meeting notes template. 
<div style="background-color:#ddd8;border:3px dashed #3338;padding:3px;">
#1 copy the template to the correct date for the upcoming meeting
{{template/meeting}}
#2 edit the meeting notes date to reflect the date of the meeting
#3 edit the meeting number to reflect the nth meeting of Noisebridge
#4 (wish all this was programmatic!)
#5 this page often 'dead-ends' and is consequently difficult to navigate usefully.  Add and update links in the meeting notes template as necessary to make the notes more dynamic and useful for all
-->

<!-- Only after finishing notes, writing summary, uploading summary to discord/email. REMOVE ME (and above).</code> -->
