[board] Meeting this Thursday @ 7

[Jim Lawson]

I'd like to discuss the following items:
 - move the buzz, events, and swarm report mailing lists from EMWD/Affinity to BlueHost
 - find/partner with another club for a VPS (virtual private server) to avoid sharing email services, restricted access to configuration and logs - no hurry, we've already paid for another year of hosting with BlueHost
 - find an appropriate CRM system
 - simple/quick membership database driven entirely by the join/renew Formidable forms
 - transition from the current "contact7" swarm report form to Formidable forms
 - support member logins to update member info, mailing list preferences, ...
 - add mapping support to website to track swarms, member hive locations (could be controversial)
