Introduction Thread For All Members?
I think it would be a good idea to have an Introduction thread for all members to post in. Somewhere people can post a quick snapshot of themself, doesn't have to be a photo just a sentence about who they are, and what their expectations and hope for the Internet Party are.
Did we have one before?

hi
I am @fredlook a member since 2014 , currently i am your party secretary and so you will also see me as @secretary when I am acting administratively .
I have high hopes for the party in 2017 and feel that behind the scenes things are progressing very nicely. When we come out in campaign mode be ready for quite a ride!
I am Ok with our low profile at this time , The key will be timing, we need to build to a peak on election day, (NOT two weeks before!)
We can do this !
Now is a really good time to renew your membership subscription! they are expiring like flies at the moment because you all joined about this time in 2014

MEMBERSHIP
At present I am in this role with another person on Exec Committee. I have been a member since 2014.
Membership is $10 for 2017.
Please Start your renewing AND JOINING as we need to show our decent and modest number of members following through since 2014.
The goal is to be seen as IP A Party that cares about all newzealanders.
Thank you

Hi I'm Jo - I'm currently looking after all the Tech for Internet Party - which includes Loomio - you'll occasionally see me at @ipjobooth kick starting loomio threads and doing moderation. I'm also in charge of the website, mobile app, and making tech happen for events - so hit me up if any of our tech needs help or if you want to help with it!
I've been an Internet Party member from the first few Wellington meetups - and been volunteering in the space for a while - keen to see the Awesome again for 2017.

I was an Internet member before the last election but have heard nothing since. Is there a local (Dunedin) Branch I can join?

Hey Team!
I'm a software developer recently moved to Wellington from Auckland, joined and voted IP in 2014. Checked in on the IP sometime ago and figured I'd have to start some the conversations we had back then with another party. So excited to see that it's back!! And the work you put in so far! Looking forward to this year.
Side note I meet with PM briefly this year and challenged him on automation issues facing our future and our lack of tech understanding in government, he completely missed the point. I asked him to at least seek some advise on it...
My ideals:
I want a future where security and people's rights to privacy are written in to the source code of government. I want the UI of government to be easily understood by all walks of life, transperant but also accessible.
I want a future where we change the conversation of "we don't talk about that" to "have we any information or data on that?".
NZ is a country of firsts, and it is insanity if we continue to keep using the same government ideas to expect change on the issues facing our people. Let's embrace the readily available technology and be another first in a truely connected and open society!
Hope to connect with you all, looking forward to it!

There was this one from a while ago but i seem to remember writing in one as well although I can't find that thread at the moment.
