+
+**Present**: Aapeli, Chris K, Darren, Jesse, Kevin, Olivier, Tristan
+

+## Topics

+- **Tristan**: Geographical vs logical location for hosts/community members and events
+  - Jesse: event location, can associate to community. Currently confusing because based on community created in.
+  - Events are organized by communities (logical location), users are by geographical location.

+  - Aapeli: TODO: Create reviewable list of city communities from some data source
+  - Aapeli: TODO: Typeahead autocomplete experience.
+  - Q: How to associate new events to community.
+- **Jesse**: Outreach from BeWelcome
+  - Want to collaborate on safety (known problematic people)

+  - Aapeli: Backend done. Missing frontend.
