Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. 17:42:42 Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic. 17:43:00 OK. My question number one. Same order as last month, or from the month before? 17:43:27 I think that the numbers were 13 and 16. 17:43:41 Based on meetup I would say 13 17:43:55 Thank you. 17:44:04 #chair qqx bdmc raub 17:44:04 Current chairs: bdmc qqx raub 17:44:18 #topic Check for Agenda Additions 17:44:20 done 17:44:25 Did you notice that I added links in the "history" to last year's and this year's steering logs? 17:44:28 #topic Current Topics 17:44:50 "Meeting logs." 17:45:02 Nice. Will have to check it 17:45:16 So, are we recording this week's meeting? 17:45:34 #action bdmc order 13 pizzas for Thursday night. 17:45:55 The announcement message said that it's not being recorded. 17:45:56 #action bdmc pizza order same as last month 17:46:29 But, I guess there's a chance that that was carried over from last month. 17:46:42 qqx: I think that was the case 17:47:04 Is that a meeting-by-meeting thing, or was last month just an anomoly? 17:47:14 bdmc: anomaly 17:47:37 Thanks ( didn't have my dictionary up ) 17:47:43 BTW, I emailed Drew on the list and he did not seem to know 17:48:09 bdmc: I think by default we should record 17:48:42 I will find the email for our vidoegrapher and see if he will be able to attend 17:48:48 It's mainly been if we have someone to do the recording. 17:49:09 I agree. It's a volunteer thing, though, isn't it? 17:49:19 Yes. 17:49:25 Exactly. 17:49:39 Which we should ask him if he will be able to do it 17:49:41 Eek, looking closer at the announcement mail I'm seeing a bunch of mojibake. 17:50:16 Is oops the word? 17:50:40 Well we will be sending out another announcement today anyway 17:50:45 We can correct that 17:51:08 So, what else do we need to do for this meeting? 17:51:28 That's probably the critical things. 17:52:07 Also, isn't ATO going to be there to give a quick talk or something? 17:52:14 Or am I imagining things? 17:52:38 No. As far as I know ATO is "sponsoring" ( unofficially ) this meeting. 17:53:09 I do hope they spend at least 5 minutes to talk 17:53:19 From the conversation, the two of them are a package. 17:53:29 That'll work for me 17:53:40 #topic Future Topics 17:54:10 Was Zenoss intended to be September? Who is driving that? 17:54:18 So, Drupal should be on 10/11, right? 17:54:27 Yes 17:54:39 10, 11, 12, whatever. 17:54:53 I am confused myself, bdmc. I will reach out to them if nobody else was doing it 17:55:05 Yeah, I meant drupal for oct 17:55:33 At https://steering.trilug.org/wiki/index.php/UpcomingMeetings it shows zenoss on oct, so I guess we need to do some cleaning 17:55:38 Then we need something for Nov 17:55:40 Exactly. Chris said that he was better in October than September, so we agreed on that. 17:55:45 and start thinking on Dec 17:55:53 bdmc: Gotcha 17:56:07 #action raub reach out to zenoss about talking on Sept 17:56:14 December is the Christmas party, isn't it? 17:56:17 Yep 17:56:28 So we need to plan what we want to do 17:56:29 So, no speaker, just a venue. 17:56:36 and then start lining up for next year 17:56:52 Do we want to do a "science fair" again? 17:57:02 In December 17:57:12 I am open for suggestions 17:57:30 qqx: preferences? 17:57:41 Who wants to talk to Michael North and see if he is up for Talking on Nov? 17:57:53 Who is Michael North? 17:58:41 From the agenda, "Michael North, Machine Learning" 17:58:50 (north@digitalphenomena.com) 17:59:20 Do any of us three know him? 17:59:39 I don't. 17:59:50 He was the one who was going to talk on June or July and then disappeared for months, so I panicked and got Disney to talk 17:59:59 IIRC, he'd mailed awhile ago volunteering to speak. 18:00:08 There are some emails from him on the steering list 18:00:20 I think he even submitted abstract already 18:00:32 raub: So you have had conversations with him? Perhaps you should continue. 18:00:59 November or September? 18:01:01 I did not. And think I am not in his good list 18:01:11 OK, then I can reach out. 18:01:16 Month? 18:01:24 Brian Gerard was who was talking to him first 18:01:34 So a Brian can continue. 18:01:37 He did send an abstract and bio, I believe that was shortly after we got the alternate talk scheduled. 18:01:58 I don't care. Pick one and then I talk to zenoss about taking the other 18:02:03 Next month, then? 18:02:07 Sure 18:02:17 OK. I will write him after this. 18:02:18 Just have it committed so we can move on 18:02:29 https://www.trilug.org/mailman/private/steering/2018-July/021859.html 18:02:41 #action bdmc contact Michael North about speaking in September. 18:03:23 #action bdmc report to steering list about September speaker confirmation 18:03:28 bdmc: I think there was also some event that was going to take place at triembed this month 18:03:37 ??? 18:03:46 I think you reached out to the guy but nothing came out of that 18:04:13 Sorry. What I meant was, what does TriEmbed have to do with September? 18:04:21 August 18:04:35 Our speaker in September. 18:04:41 raub: Are you referring the the InstallFest that Scott Hall had been discussing? 18:04:47 Yep 18:04:53 qqx: thanks 18:05:01 I don't think that was actually related to TriEmbed. 18:05:02 Ohhhh. No answer from Scott, yet. 18:05:21 That was Splat Space. 18:05:24 I can try to email him too just for the hell of it 18:05:31 I get them confused ;) 18:05:40 Go ahead. 18:05:56 * raub wait for the massed with torches and pitchforks 18:06:15 #action raub reach out to Scott Hall about InstallFest 18:07:07 Anything else pressing? 18:07:35 If we have speakers ( very tentative ) up to the end of the year, I would say that we are progressing. 18:07:47 I agree 18:08:09 Still have that money problem, but that isn't necessarily this meeting. 18:08:17 Who wants to talk to Thomas V. Thomas about recording? 18:08:26 I thought that you volunteered. 18:08:41 Right you are! Did I actioned that already? 18:08:48 Didn't see it. 18:09:07 #Action Contact Thomas V. Thomas to see if he will be able to record this meeting 18:09:32 I sent this to the list, but I'll action it here as well. 18:09:42 i saw that 18:09:42 #action qqx Send next round of announcement messages. 18:09:46 Hmmm. I wonder whether capital "Action" works. 18:10:02 There's also the issue of not having the nick included. 18:10:06 Which leads to: who will send today's announcement? 18:10:21 qqx: Ok, I can do it again 18:10:34 #action raub Contact Thomas V. Thomas to see if he will be able to record this meeting 18:10:56 This time in lowercase, bdmc. We can then see how each one looks like in the log 18:11:01 We still have that permission error on Announcements. 18:11:12 Lovely 18:11:12 We might want to wait a bit on the next announcements, to get the recording situation updated. 18:11:22 Sure 18:11:31 What permission error on announcements? 18:12:16 I have a meeting to attend 18:12:16 Whenever Lauren, and perhaps Mauricio, sends out the announcement, we see a message to steering, saying that this is not a valid person to send mail. 18:12:25 can anyone end the meeting? 18:12:32 (after you are done) 18:12:38 I don't recall seeing that. 18:12:40 And it needs to be approved. 18:12:51 raub: go ahead 18:12:54 close 18:13:29 qqx: if you have a couple of minutes, let me get one of those messages. 18:13:40 The announcement messages have always required approval. 18:14:10 So it doesn't matter who does it? They all are "moderated?" 18:14:16 Yes 18:14:35 OK. I thought that it had to do with the new people. 18:14:55 It seems that Mauricio has actually left, so shall we end? 18:15:05 ok 18:15:11 #endmeeting
