However, we're having some trouble convincing the school to let us publish the software... I dont fully understand their reasoning, but I think they're afraid of offensive content and such that could poorly reflect on the school. Quite absurd in my opinion.
Anyway, icebreakers.... I can't really help you with that; we didn't do any such thing at the first meeting. We just went through an introductory presentation about the team, collected information about the new members (8 total including myself), and then went right to brainstorming ideas for our first simple project. Took about an hour overall.

I guess you could try by getting an application ready to deploy, and then use it to prove to the school how there is nothing wrong with it. I can only see that it can start raising money. There's nothing wrong with that, at least if the school rules are followed.
If I were to put a prerequisite, there would be almost no one in the club. Last meeting, we successfully installed Linux. It was the first time for most of the students!
