SFD20 Event Report
* We significantly grew Software Freedom Day attendance on the previous two years, which had been absolute minimal.
* We combined the activities of two community tech groups (one old, one new from 2020) to do this.
* We discussed and planned systems for increased ongoing activity, combined.
* We recognised the necessity to implement and focus on online conferencing capacity, as a constant feature of our meetings, e.g. https://bigbluebutton.org & http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/VideoConferencing etc. (viz covid-19 limits & convenience).
* We acknowledged the significance of Minecraft culture as recreational, educational and social connecting tool.
* We planned towards growing meetings and adoption of a Hytale culture, to improve upon Minecraft within two years, for SFD22: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hytale + https://hytale.com
