11. Future Proofing (Agreements)


12. Questions (Open Mic)

- regardless of game mode i believe we should have some sort of focus point for the community.
Maybe a single group that the community see with all of us groups as "departments" rather than split communities.
- colaborative ts & discord?

Next Action:
- Bring forth a name for the south african community that all players can banner under - suggestions from the community

In Summary:
The above began as a bit of a technical discussion of where improvments can be made with the underlying idea of gathering all the communities involved together to collab on better servers
We eventually realised that we needed to create a hub that all SA players can go to build a bigger community to play on these servers.
Our provisional idea is to create this SA umbrella group where all communities involved are seen as departments/sub-groups under this umbrella group and players can easily join the servers we all made.
Eventually we will take over the world but lets start with Arma for now :)
