After a discussion on the future of CodeCumbria. Originally intended to be a call to action to get
more stewards, it turned into a discussion on what people want Code Cumbria to be.

What is Code Cumbria for: "Community, to learn stuff, to be visible and grow a scene" - it was 
noticed that of all the people that could attend, those that do are predominantly the remote
workers and the young (highlighting the importance of social for the group)

Focus on topics, not talks. Rather than dredging up talks each month, we want people to "introduce
topics", be it a 30s intro or a 15min presentation. Creating talks is proving too difficult.

Steam through Wine stopped working for me yesterday. After starting up it would just quit.

According to http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35030 it's fixed in 1.7.8. Sadly the latest version on homebrew at the current time is 1.7.7. Let's fix it!

`brew edit wine`

Update the 'devel' section:

```
  devel do

What do I remember being so good about MMOs?

Identifiers that say something about me (Race chosen, name, class, abilities, weapons, armour, appearance)

A 'home' - somewhere to idle after questing. Somewhere where it's likely to bump into friends, or other people I 'know' / recognise.

Meet people who are different but with shared goals.
"Group of friends that I met in game. Similar situations, complementing skills, similar attitudes, etc. Usually introduced by someone helping someone else out."

World effects (e.g. Weather) - something that happens on a regional scale that is noticeable by everyone nearby
