I am emailing Marco's today to follow up on the whole 45-minute-late-pizza thing. 17:38:39 yeah, that is *awesome* news! 17:38:43 i have not 17:38:44 thank you 17:39:15 i thought the topic was pretty well received 17:39:20 agreed. 17:39:25 Indeed 17:39:26 jeremyhwllc: can you take an action to see about that? 17:39:32 raub: welcome back! :) 17:39:38 It was nice to have a more novice-oriented talk for a change. 17:39:42 Danke 17:39:43 mhrivnak: agreed 17:40:07 the late pizza made everyone realize how Trilug would be without pizza. and yes i will action the vid 17:40:17 hah 17:40:18 lol... good point, jeremyhwllc :) 17:40:41 No zombies were harmed 17:40:50 the "election" was a trifle ad hoc, but overall i thought it went fine 17:41:02 #action jeremyhwllc video upload 17:41:13 although i think we should put some thought into how to streamline that next time 17:41:32 i think maybe having folks get a ballot on the way in might be good 17:41:32 Agreed. 17:41:34 I thought it was extremely efficient 17:41:48 jeremyhwllc: yeah, but we didn't have to actually have an election ;) 17:42:00 We should probably make the introduction process a bit more formal for each candidate. 17:42:01 One thing I thought that would be nice, specially in a beginners presentation, is to see if we can do it a bit more hands-on 17:42:26 raub: good idea 17:42:33 mhrivnak: agreed 17:43:09 my thought on the whole election streamlining thing was that, if we had actually needed to do voting, i think it might have screwed up the schedule a bit 17:43:12 we could give everyone a chance to introduce themselves next meeting. this one we were hard pressed for time 17:43:21 we were lucky that we had five candidates and five positions 17:43:40 jeremyhwllc: sure, that would work 17:43:50 Ya. Next year I think we should build in 30 seconds for each person to introduce themself. 17:44:01 +1 17:44:28 ok, anything else we want to cover about this month's meeting? 17:44:58 no 17:45:09 ...i'll take that as a 'no' from the rest :) 17:45:11 it took a while to get set up this time 17:45:19 jeremyhwllc: very true 17:45:25 Eric has spoiled us 17:45:29 Yeah 17:45:34 But we need plan B 17:45:35 i was just about to say something like that :) 17:45:44 maybe a setup checklist would help 17:45:55 Yep 17:46:01 not a bad idea 17:46:13 want to do that, or do you have the cycles? 17:46:23 maybe on a google doc? 17:46:35 or the wiki 17:46:45 wiki, preferably 17:46:55 wiki 17:46:58 steering wiki, that is 17:47:06 google doce is easy to edit from phone and include pics 17:47:22 yeah, but it's no fun to use for organizing documentation 17:47:39 steering wiki is the canonical home for all info like this. 17:47:41 wiki's a lot better for this type of work 17:47:47 mhrivnak: also an excellent point 17:47:59 wiki could have a link to a google doc 17:48:14 this should really be on the wiki itself 17:48:19 not in a gdoc 17:48:27 ok 17:48:28 it makes it searchable, for one 17:48:51 ok, we need to move on - we're tight on time 17:48:56 #topic May Hack Night 17:49:05 stmiller: heads up :) 17:49:17 jeremyhwllc: i know you've indicated you're going 17:49:20 anyone else? 17:49:24 I can be there and help but can't grab the key 17:49:28 I likely won't make it. 17:49:30 raub: gotcha 17:49:38 i can grab the key 17:49:39 yeah, i definitely won't be there - out of town 17:49:43 jeremyhwllc: thank you! 17:49:54 I won't be able to make it. 17:50:04 stmiller: did you want to address anything about hack night? 17:50:08 qqx: ok, cool 17:50:14 When emailing Liza, cc me perhaps the first time. To schedule key pick up 17:50:53 It has been key pick-up on the day of the hack night. I would see if that could get negotiated to be the week of, perhaps 17:51:06 jeremyhwllc: q.v. - https://steering.trilug.org/wiki/index.php/MeetingLocation#Caktus_TechSpace.2C_Durham.2C_NC 17:51:14 But I understand probably insurance/liability not having a key to their place out for days. 17:51:15 FWIW, I suggest parking on Roney St, which is free and literally borders the paid parking deck where most people park. 17:51:27 stmiller: can you start an email conversation with Liza and me for this key pickup? 17:51:39 jeremyhwllc: yes. good idea 17:51:39 mhrivnak: do you want to update the site/meetup with that parking info? 17:51:44 whippythellama, will do. 17:51:48 mhrivnak: thank you :) 17:52:26 anything else on hack night? 17:52:30 I wonder how hard a map with the good parking are marked would be to do and add to the site/meetup 17:52:37 a/are/area/ 17:52:44 we've done it before 17:53:26 The last set of directions for hack night worked well. we used the TriPython instructions 17:53:38 jeremyhwllc: did that include parking info? 17:53:44 yes 17:53:48 oh god they named it the "Durham Centre Parking Garage" 17:53:56 ?? 17:54:03 which is clearly fancier than the Durham Center Parking Garage would be. 17:54:11 (Also note wifi password on wiki for caktus) 17:54:14 sorry, spelling rant... 17:54:28 jeremyhwllc: you're right - that might be a good thing to put on the sites 17:54:32 lol 17:55:03 mhrivnak: just parke thy car in the centre and go to the theatre 17:55:37 Tripython has met there for many years using those directions 17:56:14 i'm good either with the tripython directions or what mhrivnak is putting up 17:56:22 but we need to move on - we're running long 17:56:28 #topic Future Topics 17:56:39 jeremyhwllc: you said we're good to go on the ham talk, right? 17:56:56 stmiller: do you want us to take over contact duties for Brian for july? 17:56:57 Yes Ham is happening 17:57:08 mhrivnak: are you good with august for your talk? 17:57:14 yep 17:57:22 whippythellam: yes.

I guess since the steering list allows anybody to post to it it shouldn't really make much difference. 18:07:21 just curious where you noticed them missing 18:07:32 qqx: ah, ok 18:07:49 Although if set to no mail rather than unsubscribing, that would still allow access to the archives. 18:07:54 i need to cut out 18:08:19 if one of you will agree to end the meeting when you're done, i can leave it going 18:08:31 qqx: true 18:08:47 but since he's asking to be removed, i'm going to go ahead and do so 18:09:00 I can end the meeting. 18:09:04 his email, his decision :) 18:09:06 qqx: thank you 18:09:13 see you all later! 18:09:19 later 18:09:26 adios 18:10:18 Do we have anything else to cover? 18:10:27 n 18:10:38 later - thank you all, 18:11:17 stmiller: thanks for all have done! 18:12:04 Looks like there's nothing else. 18:12:51 #endmeeting
