(hack nights etc) 16:45:08 scott said they' ve fit 60+ in there, no problem 16:45:18 leafstorm: there are tables in there, just not enough to go around 16:45:30 enough for 15-20? 16:45:37 mandy (the bandwidth hr rep) was out sick the day of the tour, so i wasn't able to ask her about hack nights 16:45:45 OK 16:45:55 leafstorm: yeah, at a guess, i think we'd be set for hack nights, assuming they're receptive to the idea 16:46:20 I contact the Splat board about hack nights and there didn't seem to be any objections. 16:46:28 there's wiggle room timewise on both ends of the meeting 16:46:56 so we can arrive with time to set up and leave after 9 16:47:02 eronel: that's great! 16:47:14 eronel: do you think we could get that for this month's, so we don't have to impose on Steve at WebAssign? 16:47:28 on the a/v side, they have vga and mini display port - i don't recall other adapters 16:47:37 they have working mics, though 16:47:42 whippythellama: Internet access? 16:47:47 unfettered 16:47:58 connect to guest wireless and do your thing 16:48:00 wooo! Hey, I guess they are an ISP 16:48:04 yeah :) 16:48:09 I can't think of anything to object to then 16:48:17 but no port restrictions by my understanding, which will be nice 16:48:44 i haven't gotten an answer back yet on whether they will want a couple of minutes at the beginning of the meetings or not 16:49:03 but we will at least include a thank you slide 16:49:07 Sounds ideal. +1 to meeting at bandwidth starting in July. 16:49:20 i agree 16:49:26 any objections? 16:49:36 I have none 16:49:37 * jackhill makes note to preview the location change in the announcements on Thursday. 16:49:45 thank you, jackhill :) 16:49:51 good idea. 16:50:03 on that same note, jackhill - could you also add a "thank you to ncsu for hosting us lo these many months" slide? 16:50:06 leafstorm: sure, I am check. 16:50:13 can! 16:50:18 whippythellama: sure 16:51:16 and another one thanking billf and isharacomix for their years of service? i don't think we called that out last meeting 16:51:27 and they definitely deserve the kudos 16:51:31 Yes, Thursday the 18th is free at Splat. 16:51:34 good idea. 16:51:55 agreed 16:52:03 agreed 16:52:17 so are we shooting for this month's hack night to be at splat space? 16:53:08 I'm down for that 16:53:09 whippythellama: I think so... 16:53:19 sounds great :) 16:53:22 it's looking like it's the most available location 16:53:26 I can schedule it on Splat's meetup page. 16:53:43 jackhill: could you add a mention of that to the slides? 16:53:57 sure! 16:53:59 it's worth calling out that we're having it somewhere different this month, i think 16:54:10 thanks - that slide deck's really starting to grow :) 16:54:10 cool. will TriLUG members need to respond on the Splat meetup? 16:54:11 definitely. 16:54:40 leafstorm: I don't think it's necesssary, since we're not having food. 16:54:59 OK 16:55:00 also, jackhill - on the general thanks page, please thank stmiller for being our laiason at bandwidth and helping facilitate the new location 16:55:01 They can if they want to. 16:55:30 noted 16:55:53 well, we bled over into the june hack night topic, but that's okay; any last comments on locations before we move on? 16:56:20 what time should SC members be at the place? 16:56:26 for the meeting Thursday 16:56:45 6:30-6:45 or so should be fine 16:56:50 OK 16:57:06 oh, leafstorm, eronel, send me your mug shots for the slides! 16:57:20 pizza and drinks definitely need to be there then - the rest have a little more wiggle room :) 16:57:36 jackhill: I'll scrounge one up 16:57:56 #action leafstorm send jackhill a picture for the slides 16:58:03 #action eronel send jackhill a picture for the slides 16:58:12 #topic Moya hardware update 16:58:21 jackhill: any news on the drives, etc? 16:58:50 They have arrived!
