Discussion

CCC Cologne call: Successful! They're starting a "Quietscheenten-Gilde" (Squeaky Duck Guild). Want to exchange practices. May visit Noisebridge this summer. International duck diplomacy: ACTIVE.

🚨 DUCK NORRIS INCIDENT 🚨

During the meeting, Quorum picked up Duck Norris to demonstrate something and squeezed him.

No squeak.

Squeezed again. Nothing.

Quorum: "Oh no."

Duck Norris's squeaker has failed. After months of service. In front of everyone.

Moment of silence. Actual silence. Even Murk was quiet.

Eddy: (visibly upset) "He was the squeaky one. That was his THING."

Lumen: "All things change. The squeak was temporary. The duck endures."

Murk: "Can we source a replacement squeaker mechanism? I can look into supply chains—"

Ripple: "Murk. Not now."

Duck Norris placed gently in the pond. Discussion of retirement tabled for next week. This needs processing.

The Murk situation: Several members approached Ripple privately before the meeting. Concerns about Murk's "energy" and whether he fits the guild's culture.

Did not address directly today. Too much happening. But it's coming.
