Waiting to hear back from their mgmt 17:14:03 <whippythellama> stmiller: awesome, thank you! 17:14:07 <mhrivnak> Yes. We could also ask on the email list, and might get one or two contacts through there. 17:14:13 <mhrivnak> We did a couple years ago last time we asked. 17:14:20 <mhrivnak> Which was before they moved in. 17:14:32 <mhrivnak> also, PM might drive-by again... 17:14:36 <whippythellama> heh 17:14:45 <mhrivnak> So sorry if I stop responding suddenly. 17:15:06 * whippythellama prepares to heap bunches of actions on mhrivnak in his absence 17:15:12 <mhrivnak> heh 17:15:12 <whippythellama> bwuahahahahaaa 17:16:16 <whippythellama> i can email the group about lexis nexus as well, unless someone wants to take that one 17:16:26 <whippythellama> welcome, jeremyhwllc :) 17:16:29 <whippythellama> #chair jeremyhwllc 17:16:29 <Tribot> Current chairs: jeremyhwllc mhrivnak qqx stmiller whippythellama 17:16:47 <mhrivnak> I am a little worried about moving the regular meeting too far from its historic location. Frontier will be a good experiment. 17:16:58 <whippythellama> mhrivnak: agreed 17:17:19 <whippythellama> ncsu campus is fairly central to the area 17:17:56 <qqx> Depends what you define as "the area" 17:18:17 <stmiller> Raleigh LUG 17:18:17 <mhrivnak> Oh, here's a quick idea that just hit me- anyone have contact with Celito? That might be a good hack night location. 17:18:18 <whippythellama> #action whippythellama email group and see about lexis nexus contact(s) 17:18:35 <whippythellama> mhrivnak: not familiar with them 17:18:43 <mhrivnak> Very central, and the guy who runs it (I forget how to spell his name, so I won't try) seems very approachable and community involved. 17:18:45 <whippythellama> and since we're moving in that direction, topic-wise 17:18:47 <whippythellama> ... 17:18:49 <mhrivnak> small data center operation. 17:18:54 <whippythellama> #topic June Hack Night 17:18:57 <mhrivnak> located near PNC center 17:19:13 <whippythellama> oh, cool - that sounds promising 17:19:16 <mhrivnak> I'm pretty sure they have a conference room that would work. 17:19:30 <whippythellama> any idea how to get in touch with him/them? 17:20:09 <whippythellama> i've reached out to my contact at webassign again - he's booked this week once again, but he's talking to the appdev folks today to see if anyone can host hack night there this month 17:20:13 <mhrivnak> I think there's a chance meta metrics uses them. stmiller do you know? 17:21:02 <stmiller> Yes MetaMetrics uses Celito, for voip provider. And small server there. I've only been there once, just to the datacenter part 17:21:07 <mhrivnak> The best option is to find a current celito customer who already has building access to run it by them. 17:21:21 <mhrivnak> I know for sure that the wifi is good there. ;) 17:21:31 <whippythellama> heh - nice :) 17:21:40 <mhrivnak> It's easy to get to off of the wade ave. extension. 17:21:54 <mhrivnak> quiet, great wifi, etc. 17:22:08 <whippythellama> awesome - do you have time to chase that down further? 17:22:21 <stmiller> Not sure of the space, have to find out how many peeps that can take 17:22:29 <mhrivnak> Perhaps stmiller and I can chat more about it, and maybe he'll be in a position to ask about it soon. 17:22:43 <whippythellama> that would be great :) 17:23:02 <whippythellama> so that's sounding like a 'future location' type discussion, rather than 'two days from now' 17:23:04 <whippythellama> yes? 17:23:14 <stmiller> yes 17:23:34 <whippythellama> ok, just making sure i had the expectations right :) 17:23:55 <whippythellama> so other than webassign (still waiting to hear) - other suggestions for thursday? 17:24:09 <whippythellama> jackhill indicated that splatspace is already booked that night 17:24:36 <whippythellama> ...and from what he said last week, it sounds like it may be booked for the forseeable future on 3rd thursdays 17:24:53 <whippythellama> (jackhill - please correct me if i'm off on that) 17:24:53 <stmiller> I still am up for reconsidering the time/date of hack night as well at a future discussion 17:25:05 <jackhill> whippythellama: sounds right to me 17:25:23 <whippythellama> agreed - i picked 3rd thursdays because it minimized the conflict with other meetups in the area 17:25:29 <mhrivnak> Good point. If we could do splatspace a different night in the near future, perhaps that would be fine. 17:25:37 <whippythellama> i subscribed to about two dozen calendars looking for a decent day :) 17:25:40 <stmiller> Thurs is meetup night in the triangle 17:26:03 <whippythellama> i am absolutely open for moving it 17:26:23 * mhrivnak notes the time and has a meeting at 1:30 17:26:25 <whippythellama> we just need to do the digging to make sure there aren't any major recurring conflicts 17:26:31 <whippythellama> noted, mhrivnak 17:27:08 <whippythellama> ok, please, Please, PLEASE everyone try to think of another possible location for thursday - we need to get that settled asap 17:27:31 <whippythellama> as in this thursday - we can figure out the bigger scheduling question later 17:27:36 <stmiller> raleigh brewing has a conference room, but requires $200 tab minimum 17:27:36 <whippythellama> in the interest of time... 17:27:44 <whippythellama> #topic Site Configuration 17:27:53 <whippythellama> qqx: you had something you wanted to chat about? 17:28:00 <whippythellama> sorry for the short time on that 17:28:17 <qqx> Yeah, I'd like to enable VERP in mailman 17:28:31 <whippythellama> unfamiliar with that 17:28:31 <qqx> To help with dealing with undeliverable messages 17:28:54 <qqx> It encodes the recipient address in the envelope sender for each message 17:29:07 <whippythellama> aaaah - that would be LOVELY 17:29:12 * mhrivnak has to run. 17:29:13 <qqx> It's not enabled by default, since needing to send to each recipient separately can increase the load. 17:29:14 <stmiller> +1 17:29:22 <whippythellama> thank you, mhrivnak! 17:29:39 <qqx> But we already add a personalized footer on all the lists we serve, so w're already needing to do that. 17:29:50 <whippythellama> oh, excellent 17:29:58 <whippythellama> so there's likely not much additional overhead 17:30:07 <qqx> Right. 17:30:14 <whippythellama> as long as you watch the load on the server, i'd say go for it! 17:30:27 <whippythellama> there's at least one bouncing address i am dying to track down 17:30:45 <qqx> Probably need to send an announcement to the lists, so that anyone filtering on the envelope sender would have some advance notice. 17:30:55 <whippythellama> very good idea 17:31:13 <qqx> At least the lists that actually have traffic 17:31:23 <whippythellama> yeah, there is that :) 17:31:28 <qqx> There are a few on there that don't seem to have any activity for years 17:31:44 <whippythellama> uh huh; we could probably stand a list audit 17:32:11 <whippythellama> ok, we're now a couple of minutes over 17:32:34 <whippythellama> qqx: want to take an action on the VERP thing? 17:33:10 <qqx> #action qqx Enable VERP in mailman after announcing to lists 17:33:15 <whippythellama> woot 17:33:17 <whippythellama> thankee :) 17:33:27 <whippythellama> ...ok, time 17:33:33 <whippythellama> #topic General Business 17:33:46 <whippythellama> anything urgent any of you need to cover before we break? 17:33:59 <qqx> Nothing here 17:34:07 <stmiller> Nothing here 17:34:11 <whippythellama> ok, cool 17:34:17 <whippythellama> thank you! 17:34:19 <whippythellama> #endmeeting
