17:36:14 <whippythellama> #topic September Meeting Recap
17:36:27 <mhrivnak> I counted about 60 people.
17:36:36 <stmiller> same
17:36:44 <mhrivnak> Haven't counted the cash yet, but we did get the sponsorship money.
17:36:47 <whippythellama> i'm a bit surprised - i thought there would be more
17:36:54 <mhrivnak> Me too.
17:36:59 <whippythellama> mhrivnak: cool
17:37:00 <mhrivnak> It was a good crowd none the less.
17:37:03 <whippythellama> good
17:37:04 <jeremyhwllc> I never really sent out final reminders and cross promotions
17:37:16 <whippythellama> aaah - right, yeah that could have something to do with it
17:37:42 <whippythellama> by all means, let us know if you need someone else to take care of that, any time
17:37:58 <whippythellama> we're happy to cover
17:38:10 <jeremyhwllc> sorry it became completely impossible
17:38:18 <whippythellama> no worries, $life happens :)
17:38:23 <mhrivnak> Indeed it does.
17:38:27 <whippythellama> and i know you've been swamped
17:38:31 <mhrivnak> We have your back. :)
17:38:34 <whippythellama> exactly
17:38:44 <whippythellama> :)
17:38:56 <jeremyhwllc> thanks!!
17:39:21 <whippythellama> ok, any other notes about last week?
17:39:43 <jeremyhwllc> we managed ok with out hdmi
17:39:54 <stmiller> Went well, I think the presenters didn't get through their whole talk because of q & a but that is all good
17:40:18 <jeremyhwllc> no TriTux :-(
17:40:19 <whippythellama> that's a good reason to cut short, i find
17:40:19 <mhrivnak> yes we managed well thanks to jeremyhwllc 's industriousness, but wouldn't want to have to re-route that existing HDMI cable again.
17:40:25 <whippythellama> means the audience is engaged
17:40:56 <whippythellama> yeah, sorry about that - i totally forgot my hdmi cable usually comes with me
17:41:01 <jeremyhwllc> but thankfully had ATO shirts and swag
17:41:04 <whippythellama> we'll have the new 100' one next month
17:41:15 <whippythellama> nice!
17:41:22 <jeremyhwllc> 100' awesome
17:41:32 <whippythellama> yep - call it 'future proofing'
17:41:41 <qqx> I've added an HDMI cable + coupler to my backpack, as a bit of a backup.
17:42:01 <whippythellama> yep, i carry mine pretty much always
17:42:05 <whippythellama> along with patch cables
17:42:19 <mhrivnak> Pizza consumption was right on target. There were just a few slices left.
17:42:20 <whippythellama> ok, anything else of note for september?
17:42:32 <whippythellama> sweet
17:42:36 <whippythellama> what about drinks?
17:42:47 <stmiller> Added small water bottles,
17:42:53 <stmiller> they were all gobbled up.
17:42:58 <whippythellama> hmmm
17:43:05 <whippythellama> not a bad idea
17:43:08 <qqx> There was one bottle of juice that went untouched.
17:43:18 <whippythellama> tho we might want to change to a jug vs individual bottles, for price
17:43:35 <qqx> But, pretty much everything else was pretty much consumed.
17:43:40 <whippythellama> ok, cool
17:43:45 <mhrivnak> We may consider a small sign with an arrow toward the water fountain instead of bottled water.
17:43:54 <whippythellama> yeah, something
17:44:01 <mhrivnak> And invite them to take a cup.
17:44:11 <whippythellama> or buy a brita jug for the group
17:44:18 <whippythellama> er, pitcher
17:44:41 <whippythellama> we can fill it up at the beginning of the meeting and put it on the table with the sodas
17:44:48 <qqx> Filling one of those pitchers could be an issue, and they don't really transport well.
17:45:04 <whippythellama> ??
17:45:34 <qqx> They generally require quite a bit of clearance under the faucet.
17:45:51 <whippythellama> well, we can think on that
17:46:10 <whippythellama> ok, we should move on
17:46:19 <whippythellama> #topic October Meeting
17:46:36 <whippythellama> ok, jeremyhwllc - you said you're waiting for a response from a speaker?
17:46:40 <whippythellama> details?  :)
17:46:59 <jeremyhwllc> ok let my type a second
17:47:05 <whippythellama> go for it
17:48:12 <jeremyhwllc> we had an active thread on main list about video editing and I think we can pool from that discussion a decent talk. it is a frequent topic
17:48:24 <whippythellama> yes, please!
17:48:41 <jeremyhwllc> i reached out to one with an impressive response
17:49:02 <mhrivnak> Nice.
17:49:40 <jeremyhwllc> Francois Dion
17:50:06 <whippythellama> hmm... not familiar
17:50:45 <jeremyhwllc> ok I will fwd email to sc
17:50:52 <whippythellama> awesome
17:51:00 <whippythellama> so is that the person you're waiting to hear back from?
17:51:11 <mhrivnak> Oh great. He runs the python group out in Winston-Salem.
17:51:15 <qqx> Just looked at my archive of the main list, and see a pretty impressive message from him on the subject.
17:51:25 <whippythellama> excellent!
17:51:31 <qqx> Dated Aug 7th 2016.
17:52:51 <jeremyhwllc> just sent to sc
17:53:00 <whippythellama> so jeremyhwllc - do you have a good feel for how likely it is that he will be able to present next month?
17:53:07 <jeremyhwllc> yes he is the one and he said maybe October
17:53:10 <qqx> Same message as in the start of the thread that jeremyhwllc forwarded.
17:54:07 <mhrivnak> If that doesn't work out, is the SDR talk a viable option for Oct?
17:54:13 <mhrivnak> Or any other talk?
17:54:17 <whippythellama> i was just typing that very question :)
17:54:23 <whippythellama> re: sdr
17:54:29 <jeremyhwllc> I have a few other emails with him from TriEmbed list about drones this week. I will have to wait to see what he says. he is busy
17:54:59 <jeremyhwllc> Todd Lewis provided a speaker recommendation
17:55:05 <whippythellama> oh?
17:55:07 <jeremyhwllc> for a drone talk
17:55:17 <whippythellama> that's excellent
17:55:23 <mhrivnak> nice.
17:55:28 <jeremyhwllc> he packed the house at JS meetup
17:55:41 <jeremyhwllc> let me find email
17:55:51 <whippythellama> sweet - thank you, jeremyhwllc!
17:56:18 <whippythellama> ok, we're running very short on time
17:56:37 <whippythellama> jeremyhwllc: would you like any of us to take over any of the conversations you have in-flight right now?
17:56:47 <whippythellama> with prospective speakers, etc
17:57:08 <whippythellama> it sounds like you've been handling it all well, but i don't want you to get overloaded
17:57:55 <jeremyhwllc> just sent to sc
17:58:31 <whippythellama> awesome - thank you!
17:58:39 <jeremyhwllc> so we could send out a form "call for speakers for SDR, Drones, and video editing"
17:58:39 <whippythellama> so do you need any helping hands?
17:58:46 <whippythellama> absolutely
17:58:50 <jeremyhwllc> yes please
17:59:06 <whippythellama> ok, what would you like to hand off?
17:59:33 <jeremyhwllc> lets assume I cant be reliable and anything I get to will be gravy.
17:59:43 <whippythellama> heh
17:59:50 <jeremyhwllc> sorry to pit that way but after last week
17:59:53 <jeremyhwllc> put
18:00:04 <whippythellama> no, no - it's fine
18:00:32 <whippythellama> like i said, you've let us know you have a lot going on right now

18:00:59 <jeremyhwllc> help building call for speakers form
18:01:25 <jeremyhwllc> and distribute. could plan for short talks and see what we get
18:01:43 <whippythellama> not sure what you have in mind there, but we can follow up on that after
18:01:59 <jeremyhwllc> lets do.
18:02:16 <whippythellama> ok, and the conversation with francois?
18:02:22 <jeremyhwllc> a form like the RPi talk
18:02:54 <whippythellama> and the follow-up with todd's speaker recommendation?
