Moving on! 17:11:06 <isharacomix> #topic Elections 17:11:15 <jackhill> last year the Steering Committee gave an brief state of the LUG. Should we do that again? 17:11:21 <mhrivnak> yes. 17:11:25 <whippythellama> agreed 17:11:26 <isharacomix> jackhill: good idea! 17:11:45 <mhrivnak> i think the bylaws even require it. :) 17:11:55 <isharacomix> We have four nominees, right? whippythellama, mhrivnak, leafstorm, and eronel? 17:12:05 <whippythellama> yes, and one as-yet-un-nominated 17:12:15 <isharacomix> which one? 17:12:17 <whippythellama> whose contact info i regrettably never obtained 17:12:18 <jackhill> oh right, I should do that 17:12:25 <isharacomix> ah. 17:12:26 <whippythellama> jackhill: are you running again? 17:12:34 <jackhill> yeah 17:12:46 <isharacomix> I will post one more push to the ML about nominations to whip some people into shape. 17:13:19 <whippythellama> wow - so assuming my dark horse puts himself into the race on meeting night, we may actually have a election rather than an acclamation (sp?) 17:13:29 <isharacomix> that would be nice. 17:13:31 <whippythellama> thank you, isharacomix 17:13:48 <whippythellama> oh, and awesome to hear, jackhill! :) 17:13:50 <isharacomix> I think we decided we will not permit nominations on meeting night? 17:13:53 <whippythellama> didn't mean to brush by that :) 17:14:00 <whippythellama> did we? 17:14:16 <isharacomix> I think that was decided during the f2f. 17:14:26 <whippythellama> ah; didn't remember that 17:15:00 <mhrivnak> I think the bylaws spell out the rules around nominations. 17:15:21 <isharacomix> And the bylaws require nominations to close at what point? The day before elections? 17:15:44 <billf> ahh - our by-laws page is pretty empty 17:15:45 <mhrivnak> speaking of, we need to post the bylaws here: http://trilug.org/policies 17:15:51 <isharacomix> we do 17:16:01 <billf> maybe you mean our Articles of Incorporation 17:16:18 <isharacomix> i thought we voted to separate the documents 17:16:36 <billf> well, it needs to be sorted out 17:17:00 <isharacomix> yes it does. where are our bylaws and aoi? 17:17:18 <isharacomix> the last document stored here was from 2011. http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/search/CorpFilings/4745209 17:17:22 <whippythellama> https://trilug.org/articlesofincorporation 17:17:46 <mhrivnak> from bylaws... 17:17:53 <mhrivnak> Article V section 2: The Steering Committee will designate one meeting per fiscal year as the "Annual Membership Meeting" at which a financial report and other business of importance to the membership will be presented. Each Annual Membership Meeting must occur within fifteen months of the previous Annual Membership Meeting. 17:18:39 <mhrivnak> and article III section 3: The Steering Committee shall send a call for nominations for candidacy not more than sixty nor fewer than ten days before elections take place. Members may declare their candidacy by either announcing their intent to run via the mailing list at least 24 hours in advance of the election, or by attending the election in person and stating their intent to run. 17:18:55 <isharacomix> aha 17:19:02 <isharacomix> so they are allowed to self-nominate day of 17:19:24 <whippythellama> looks that way 17:19:42 <isharacomix> michael: I can present your financial report since you won't be present 17:19:58 <isharacomix> let me know offline if you want me to do such a thing 17:20:03 <mhrivnak> sounds good. I'll send some details before the meeting. 17:20:03 <jackhill> Great, so the day beofore the meeting we can print ballots with people's names, and leave a blank space for any nominations that happen during the meeting 17:20:09 <isharacomix> jackhill: aye 17:20:17 <whippythellama> jackhill: good idea 17:20:19 <isharacomix> #action isharacomix send out another nomination push 17:20:32 <jackhill> billf: IIRC you offered to help with election logistics. Do we need to recruit other helpers? 17:20:40 <isharacomix> I will also be helping 17:20:45 <whippythellama> who will be printing ballots? 17:20:48 <jackhill> isharacomix: great 17:20:59 <billf> I can print the ballots 17:21:13 <whippythellama> thank you, billf 17:21:22 <isharacomix> billf: thank you! if you print multiple per page i can help you cut them on site. 17:22:00 <billf> can someone else provide a laptop with the member db ? 17:22:06 <isharacomix> billf: I can. 17:22:54 <billf> isharacomix: we just need a quick way to lookup people and mark them as voting 17:23:16 <billf> the person with the laptop looks people up and then gives them a ballot 17:23:18 <isharacomix> that's easy enough. the web interface is pretty easy to use 17:23:35 <isharacomix> I could also just copypaste the db to a text file allowing me to grep it 17:23:38 <billf> jackhill: can you bring the box, there is a box of pens in it 17:23:47 <jackhill> billf: will do 17:23:49 <billf> isharacomix: sounds even better 17:24:18 <isharacomix> #action isharacomix dump the membership db for elections 17:24:29 <isharacomix> Anything else re: elections? 17:24:43 <whippythellama> that's all i had for now 17:25:04 <billf> done 17:25:14 <isharacomix> #topic Pilot migration 17:25:25 <isharacomix> As expected, we got a lot of feedback from the membership! 17:25:32 <whippythellama> yeah, good points 17:25:35 <jackhill> \o/ 17:25:54 <billf> I think the push is for raid5+1 or raid6 17:26:13 <billf> can we afford to buy 6 drives ? 17:26:26 <isharacomix> Will they all fit with the smaller caddies? 17:26:41 <whippythellama> as long as they're 2.5" drives we're fine 17:27:03 <whippythellama> one per caddy; we have one 1TB drive in already, and seven more open slots 17:27:12 <isharacomix> how much are they all? 17:27:15 <whippythellama> speaking of which 17:27:34 <whippythellama> i looked into recommendations for empty/full slots 17:27:52 <whippythellama> found this: http://www.serwerydell.eu/2950/it/install.htm#wp1183118 17:27:58 <whippythellama> which states "NOTICE: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive blanks installed. If you remove a hard-drive carrier from the system and do not reinstall it, you must replace the carrier with a drive blank." 17:28:18 <whippythellama> so i think we need empty blanks to fill in those slots that we don't plan on using 17:28:29 <jackhill> okay, so we should buy 7 caddies 17:28:57 <jackhill> (or we could get drive blanks, but I suspect the price differential to be negligible 17:29:00 <jackhill> ) 17:29:37 <whippythellama> yeah, they should be equivalent airflow-wise i would think 17:29:41 <isharacomix> So, mhrivnak budgetwise, can we afford it? Do we need to do fundraising? 17:30:12 <isharacomix> Actually, we are at time: let's continue this on the ML 17:30:13 <mhrivnak> number? 17:30:16 <isharacomix> 6 drives 17:30:18 <isharacomix> ? 17:30:24 <mhrivnak> $$$ ? 17:30:42 <jackhill> I think we don't know, but ~$80/each 17:30:46 <billf> newegg has dell 250G 2.5" for $49 each 17:30:57 <mhrivnak> gotcha. We can definitely afford that. 17:31:16 <isharacomix> #topic any last words? 17:31:28 <jackhill> no 17:31:31 <isharacomix> No word from bandwidth yet. Gonna send a followup 17:31:41 <whippythellama> found out about parking 17:31:41 <isharacomix> whippythellama: did you find out about parking? 17:31:43 <billf> but that is only 250GB 17:32:17 <whippythellama> the deck behind bandwidth is private - no after-hours parking :( 17:32:26 <whippythellama> closest parking is down by hunt library 17:32:26 <isharacomix> bluh T_T 17:32:36 <isharacomix> does bandwidth own it? 17:32:40 <whippythellama> that i don't know 17:32:46 <isharacomix> well, i'll find out from mandy 17:32:50 <isharacomix> but thanks for finding out 17:32:50 <whippythellama> sounds good 17:32:53 <whippythellama> sure thing 17:33:05 <billf> so 6x 49 = $294. and then if we needed more storage put in a single 1TB drive for backup 17:33:32 <whippythellama> we have a single 1tb we can use for that purpose 17:33:38 <whippythellama> it's already in the chassis 17:33:39 <whippythellama> blank 17:33:40 <billf> do we boot from the raid array ? 17:34:02 <whippythellama> afaik, yes 17:34:41 <billf> some drives on newegg have a caddy like thing on them already: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA75M2FX7603 17:35:43 <isharacomix> .5TB for $150 17:36:26 <isharacomix> I don't want to keep anyone longer than necessary. If you have time, stick around, if not, we can continue over ML. 17:36:35 <billf> 250GB for $49 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5AD1XH1456 17:36:45 <whippythellama> depends on if that caddy is compatible w/2950 17:37:07 <whippythellama> (the previous drive link) 17:38:40 <billf> that was the lowest price I found. 17:38:56 * mhrivnak has to run 17:39:12 <whippythellama> thanks, mhrivnak :) 17:39:53 <isharacomix> All right folks.
