Okay, great. 17:08:12 But he pointed out, and I see his point, that it may make more sense to try another venue. 17:08:27 Bandwidth isn't the kind of place you just "drop by", you know? 17:08:32 right 17:08:50 Maybe a coffee shop with enough space to grab a quiet corner? 17:08:59 Maybe try one just online? 17:09:05 Or another idea? 17:09:05 okay, so let's try this for now, and brainstorm for something better. 17:09:27 So you're saying let's stick with Bandwidth this month, then think of something else for May? 17:09:34 yeah, something. I do sort of like in-person, but it is hard since the triangle is so spread out. 17:09:40 mhrivnak: yes 17:09:48 Sounds good to me. 17:10:33 #action jeremyhwllc Announce and promote the hack night for April 21 at Bandwidth. 17:10:56 anything else on hack night? 17:11:48 Who plans to be there? I will. 17:12:23 #action jackhill review tasks (https://appsdev.trilug.org/fossil/rptview?rn=1) 17:12:23 Looks like my wife has made plans for me, so I guess I won't. :) 17:12:46 oh hey, an issue tracker! yay! 17:12:47 I might like help actually running the hack night, since I don't think that's my strength. 17:12:52 Somehow I missed that. 17:12:53 mhrivnak: no worries, have a good time 17:13:18 mhrivnak: yeah, I put that up two (?) months ago, but then decided that I didn't like that one. Still better than nothing. 17:13:30 Cool! 17:13:32 probably only mentioned it in passing in IRC. 17:13:42 Perhaps a retrospective of sorts on the hack nights would be valuable. Via email? 17:14:07 indeed 17:14:22 Want to take an action to start that conversation? :) 17:14:46 #action jackhill start hack-night in review conversation 17:14:50 on the main mailing list? 17:15:13 Oh, good question. I was thinking steering, but maybe main list? 17:15:19 Perhaps it would be good to start on steering. 17:15:35 okay, sounds good. 17:15:47 Then expand to main list as we see value in doing so. 17:16:10 #topic Other Business 17:16:20 I don't think we need to discuss future speakers right now. 17:16:23 Anything else on your mind? 17:16:51 Be thinking about who can run for steering 17:17:16 Good call. 17:17:40 We need to talk election logistics soon, but that can wait for next week. 17:17:58 indeed. 17:18:22 I'm looking forward to this meeting, I think it should be a good one. We got positive responses on the Splat list. 17:18:35 Also kudos to billf for helping promote to some lists as well. 17:19:01 that's it from me 17:19:04 +1 ! 17:19:22 One last note: we are required to solicit nominations at least 10 days before the May meeting. 17:19:32 Shouldn't be a problem, but just wanted to put it out here. :) 17:19:50 #action jeremyhwllc Announce election and call for nominations at least 10 days before the May meeting. 17:20:02 Ok, I think we're done! 17:20:05 #endmeeting
