17:36:22 <whippythellama> i need to pull out the details (parking, times, etc) that we had on meeting pages there 17:36:30 <whippythellama> dfrustaglio: thanks! 17:36:55 <qqx> /var/www/www.trilug.org-drupal 17:37:02 <whippythellama> woot - perfect 17:37:07 <qqx> But, that's the Drupal source. 17:37:18 <qqx> The site content is in mysql. 17:37:25 <whippythellama> aaah, ok 17:37:56 <qqx> But, I'd have thought that would have been transferred over. 17:38:09 <whippythellama> yeah, somehow i missed that it wasn't there 17:38:32 <whippythellama> but if you drill down into one of the meetings, there's none of the usual where/when stuff 17:39:10 <whippythellama> we can circle back via email 17:39:23 <whippythellama> if i can get into the db, i can pull out what i need 17:39:30 <whippythellama> just need the credentials, likely 17:39:32 <dfrustaglio> on the same note I do like the color scheme 17:39:41 <qqx> https://web.archive.org/web/20180420130254/https://trilug.org/ 17:39:46 <whippythellama> lol 17:39:54 <whippythellama> that's probably a lot easier :) 17:40:02 <whippythellama> ok, i'll see how well that works 17:40:05 <whippythellama> thanks! :) 17:40:24 <qqx> I suspect that was stored in some unusual way for Drupal pages. 17:40:26 <whippythellama> are you both planning on being there? 17:40:28 <whippythellama> probably 17:40:38 <qqx> Yes, I plan to be there. 17:40:39 <dfrustaglio> Yes I plan to 17:40:45 <whippythellama> cool 17:41:03 <whippythellama> ok, we can figure out specific roles, etc, next time 17:41:27 <whippythellama> one thing you should start thinking about is who will be bringing all the stuff home with them after the meeting 17:41:32 <dfrustaglio> I will do announcements 17:41:46 <whippythellama> dfrustaglio: awesome - thanks :) 17:42:34 <dfrustaglio> do we start sending out email blasts about elections this week? 17:42:41 <whippythellama> ok, movin along 17:42:56 <whippythellama> we've already sent a general call for nominations 17:43:02 <whippythellama> let's circle back to that in general business 17:43:08 <whippythellama> #topic Future Topics 17:43:23 <whippythellama> i've re-pinged Michael North, but i still haven't heard a word back 17:43:36 <whippythellama> just noticed that he sent me his cell#, though, so i'll try that next 17:43:47 <whippythellama> #action whippythellama call/txt Michael North 17:44:01 <whippythellama> either of you have any leads on speakers/topics? 17:44:15 <whippythellama> we're down to only a single month of buffer 17:44:28 <dfrustaglio> not at this time 17:45:15 <whippythellama> ok, try to think if there's anyone around your office that you've heard has presented somewhere, or has talked about a good speaker they've seen, etc 17:45:27 <whippythellama> the leads pipeline is kinda lean right now 17:45:47 <whippythellama> in the absence of raub, i think we'll move on 17:45:52 <whippythellama> #topic Tech Items 17:46:10 <whippythellama> so we're live 17:46:12 <whippythellama> :) 17:46:15 <whippythellama> @qqx++ 17:46:33 <whippythellama> thank you for all your work on that, qqx! 17:46:44 <whippythellama> SO nice to be off of drupal :) 17:47:13 <whippythellama> ...heh, i have a sneaking suspicion that it's down to you and i, dfrustaglio ;) 17:47:32 <qqx> Yeah, especially with the security record of Drupal lately. 17:47:37 <whippythellama> right? 17:47:54 <whippythellama> it's great not to have to sweat those updates 17:47:59 <qqx> Yeah. 17:48:12 <qqx> It's also quite worrying that those patches applied cleanly. 17:48:20 <whippythellama> hehe... 17:48:24 <qqx> Those holes had to be in there untouched for ages. 17:48:32 <whippythellama> What Could Possibly Go Wrong?(tm) 17:49:10 <whippythellama> well, i'm thrilled that we've forklifted that out 17:49:10 <qqx> I also have https://steer.trilug.org/ setup on the new server, working on moving the steering content over there. 17:49:18 <whippythellama> Woo hoo! 17:49:25 <whippythellama> dude, that's great! 17:49:28 <qqx> Requires LDAP login. 17:49:54 <qqx> And while doing that I think I fixed some access issues on the old site. 17:50:03 <whippythellama> nice :) 17:50:18 <dfrustaglio> just logged, my creds still work 17:50:18 <whippythellama> man, i am loving all the progress on that 17:50:18 <qqx> Getting that up also revealed that the HTTPS proxying on moya wasn't actually working correctly. 17:50:29 <whippythellama> interesting 17:50:45 <qqx> And while I was getting that fixed, I also got it so that we can accept ssh connections on the https port. 17:50:55 <whippythellama> i saw that - that rocks! 17:51:00 <qqx> Which will help in being able to connect to that while at meetings. 17:51:10 <whippythellama> yep, first thing that popped into my mind 17:51:27 <whippythellama> i can't wait to try that out from ncsu 17:51:55 <qqx> I already had a similar setup on my personal server. So, I know that it should work. 17:52:19 <whippythellama> heh - yeah, personal servers are great practice :) 17:52:19 <qqx> I am running into a bit of an issue getting the membership database stuff working on the new system. 17:52:29 <whippythellama> well, thank you for all the work you've been putting in on that stuff 17:52:38 <whippythellama> REALLY appreciate it - it's going great 17:52:57 <qqx> Some of that seems to break with the current version of PHP, which is a language that I've mostly managed to avoid. 17:53:20 <whippythellama> yeah, i've touched php before, but that's not generally something i like to admit in polite company 17:53:59 <whippythellama> i'm wondering if we should look at porting the member db to python with flask or something 17:54:27 <whippythellama> i could take a stab at that 17:54:38 <whippythellama> i haven't really looked too deeply at it, tho 17:54:49 <whippythellama> ok, we're at about 5 til 17:55:02 <whippythellama> let's change gears 17:55:06 <whippythellama> #topic General Business 17:55:19 <qqx> If that can't be fixed with fairly minor changes, yeah porting it to some other tool would be good to look into. 17:55:35 <whippythellama> so dfrustaglio - to answer your question earlier, yes, there can be follow up emails sent regarding the elections 17:55:50 <whippythellama> the initial call for nominations has been largely met by crickets so far 17:56:04 <whippythellama> i've got my nomination email for Brian McCullough about half done 17:56:07 <dfrustaglio> I still have to do mine 17:56:12 <whippythellama> so that should go out this afternoon 17:56:19 <whippythellama> yes, please :) 17:56:33 <whippythellama> Jeremy Davis has withdrawn for personal reasons 17:56:38 <whippythellama> so we're back down to four candidates 17:56:50 <whippythellama> i've pinged Thomas V Thomas to see if he'd be interested 17:57:23 <whippythellama> so we'll see 17:57:50 <whippythellama> if you all have any other ideas for good folks to approach, it would be good to ping them 17:58:33 <whippythellama> i'll check that we have index cards for ballots, just in case 17:58:44 <whippythellama> #action whippythellama check for index cards in the box 17:58:54 <whippythellama> and i'll help with election logistics if needed 17:59:28 <whippythellama> but per usual, so far it's looking like the challenge will be getting enough folks to fill the docet 17:59:31 <whippythellama> er, docket 18:00:12 <whippythellama> any other thoughts on the election? 18:00:15 <dfrustaglio> we run like a banana LUG 18:00:21 <whippythellama> o_O 18:00:28 <dfrustaglio> JK 18:00:32 <whippythellama> can't say i'm familiar with that term :) 18:00:45 <dfrustaglio> JK just kidding 18:00:53 <whippythellama> or was that a play on 'banana slug'? :) 18:00:58 <whippythellama> no, i got the jk bit :) 18:01:11 <whippythellama> i was pondering the 'banana lug' thing 18:01:29 <dfrustaglio> being that we did not have enough people we just install who is there (i.e banana republic) 18:01:36 <whippythellama> aaaaah - gotcha 18:01:38 <whippythellama> :) 18:02:03 <whippythellama> elect those too slow to take a step backwards when they call for volunteers, in other words :) 18:02:17 <dfrustaglio> yup 18:02:17 <whippythellama> ok, we're over time 18:02:38 <whippythellama> definitely send your self-nominations in to the general list 18:02:44 <whippythellama> (or nominate each other - either way) 18:02:51 <whippythellama> thanks, guys! 18:02:55 <whippythellama> #endmeeting
