17:33:57 <raub> #topic 2. Current Topics
17:34:15 <raub> bdmc: I thought once I got the image, th ebio, and the blurb, he was a go
17:34:47 <bdmc> No, I'm talking about Brian, who gave a talk last month.  He asked about talking again in May.
17:34:49 <raub> Oh, are talking about Chris or?
17:35:07 <raub> Oh, I did not see that
17:35:37 <bdmc> It was on the 22nd.
17:35:40 <raub> I thought Chris was talking this month, then we have Mark Sidell and jackhill
17:35:51 <raub> who will be talking next month
17:36:19 <raub> Then we have oct and nov still open
17:36:36 <bdmc> You can look at the mailing list for the 22nd.  I hope that you got it.
17:36:41 <dfrustaglio> The trilug site has Chris this month
17:37:12 <bdmc> Yes, of course Chris is this month.  I am talking about a message in the Steering Mailing List.
17:37:26 <bdmc> I guess that I was the only one who saw it.
17:37:31 <bdmc> OK
17:38:11 <bdmc> Don't mind me.
17:38:19 <raub> I am afraid I did not see it. Everything I know I put in the agenda
17:38:50 <raub> OK
17:39:18 <raub> So, dfrustaglio will not be in the meeting. And said he might not be up for reelection
17:39:32 <raub> dfrustaglio: if you wan tto elaborate...
17:39:35 <bdmc> That was about the same time that I nominated everybody for the Steering Committee, with absolutely no response from "the crowd."
17:39:36 <dfrustaglio> True
17:40:02 <dfrustaglio> do to work and some dometic changes, I am going to be pressed for time
17:40:07 <dfrustaglio> all good things though
17:40:25 <dfrustaglio> I am in the process of placing an offer on another house
17:40:44 <dfrustaglio> and getting my current residence ready for rental by July 1st
17:41:01 <bdmc> That sounds "exciting."
17:41:20 <dfrustaglio> so yeah I will be a landlord
17:41:39 <raub> That can be exciting
17:42:09 <dfrustaglio> but I also have a few major work projects going on that will probably take me into some nights and weekends
17:43:13 <raub> So, it is a bit late in the show but we will probably have an office position to fill
17:43:25 <bdmc> Is there anybody we want to nominate to "make it a race?"   Or, Donald, are you going to definitely step down?
17:43:59 <dfrustaglio> I am going to step down
17:44:11 <raub> bdmc: that is what I was going to ask: anyone wants to apply or knows someone to replace dfrustaglio?
17:44:17 <dfrustaglio> so there will be an opening
17:44:30 <raub> bdmc: I do need to find those emails later one.
17:44:59 <raub> As a sid note: if any of oyu feel I am missing something important, let me know. And only believe I know when i acknoledge it
17:45:20 <bdmc> Brian "strong-armed" me.   Is there somebody who has been visibly helping or being a "good member?"
17:45:35 <raub> (without seeing what I am typing, my lousy typing skills are even worse)
17:46:46 <raub> We need to send an announcement for the election again anyaways
17:46:53 <raub> And another for the meeting
17:47:12 <raub> AFAIK, Thomas will not be able to record it
17:48:15 <dfrustaglio> for this meeting I will create the slides and upload them to the share, but I will also email the PDF version to Steering so you all have it if you cannot get to the share
17:48:17 <bdmc> That's too bad.
17:48:59 <raub> bdmc: I do not know. I could think of some victims but that is just being mean
17:49:31 <bdmc> Why? They can always say no.
17:49:49 <raub> Once again, if anyone wants to apply for dfrustaglio position, do decide before the meeting
17:50:11 <raub> bdmc: I might strong-arm them too ;)
17:50:15 <bdmc> My Nomination message was in the main list, also on the 22nd, if it matters.
17:50:49 <raub> bdmc: OK. I will email you who I am thinking on since I can't remember their names
17:51:10 <raub> Moving on....
17:51:13 <raub> #topic 3. Future Topics
17:51:20 <bdmc> OK.  Lauren?  You are generally aware of what is going on in meetings.
17:51:42 <raub> So, next month will be a 2talk meeting and then SELF
17:51:43 <dsmadcow> umm I think so
17:51:54 <raub> What is the plan for SELF?
17:51:58 <raub> What do we need?
17:52:45 <bdmc> dsmadcow: I was still talking about elections, so I was behind the times.
17:53:04 <dsmadcow> ok
17:53:14 <bdmc> raub: I had completely forgotten about the plan for SELF.
17:53:16 <raub> bdmc: that is ok.
17:53:25 <raub> We still have time
17:53:29 <raub> I think ;)
17:53:48 <bdmc> You have the space.  Just need to fill it.
17:54:30 <dsmadcow> I need to drop, silly cusotmers want me to go fix things. I will see you all Thursday.
17:55:20 <bdmc> And then there were two.
17:55:33 <raub> What should we bring/prepare by then and when should we be there to set it up?
17:55:58 <raub> bdmc: not the first time ;)
17:56:40 <bdmc> I don't exactly know what Lauren's plan is.  I would think that "business cards" and flyers for TriLUG, along with whatever else comes from other groups.
17:57:10 <bdmc> Setup could be as late as Friday morning, I think.
17:57:50 <raub> OK. I will ask for Friday off
17:58:19 <bdmc> So you are planning on working that table with Lauren?
17:58:23 <raub> Should we reach out to other groups and share our space?
17:58:40 <bdmc> I thought that that was the plan all along.
17:58:43 <raub> bdmc: Yeah. I am not going to leave him by himself
17:59:21 <bdmc> I thought that this was to be a "Linux User Groups" table.
17:59:41 <dfrustaglio> I have a hard break - see you guys
17:59:52 <raub> seeya dfrustaglio
17:59:58 <bdmc> I thought that we had lost him already.
18:00:30 <raub> bdmc: It will be. Do you know the LUG over there? Do they have a presence in the event?
18:00:43 <bdmc> Over where?
18:01:52 <raub> charlotte
18:02:08 <raub> (unless they run the show0
18:02:24 <bdmc> That's really a Lauren question, but I don't think that there is a LUG in Charlotte any more.
18:03:40 <raub> Oh
18:05:04 <raub> Let's talk more about SELF on the list and meeting
18:05:11 <bdmc> OK
18:05:50 <bdmc> From the Meetup count, it looks as if the 13-order will be enough.
18:05:59 <raub> Final, we have 2 spots left for talks, and I feel like dfrustaglio will not be talking.
18:06:09 <raub> I noticed that
18:06:19 <raub> I will not complain ;)
18:06:26 <bdmc> I wouldn't go that far.  It is still possible.
18:06:36 <bdmc> We should ask him, though.
18:06:40 <raub> Yes
18:06:44 <raub> And Brian
18:06:56 <bdmc> yes
18:07:12 <bdmc> Have to be in the fall, right?
18:07:40 <raub> Oct, Nov, Dec are the only openings as of right now
18:09:47 <raub> I will update the wiki, but the agenda is current as of now
18:11:01 <raub> Anything else we should talk about?
18:11:31 <bdmc> Sorry -- phone rang.  Gone now. ( I am. )
18:11:53 <raub> Gotcha.
18:12:13 <raub> Talk to you by email then
18:12:23 <raub> I think it is a good time to end the meeting anyway
