Check for Agenda Additions 17:37:26 I do have one: I finally put the netactuate logo up 17:37:41 Interesing new command: chait 17:38:25 Oops 17:38:29 I don't think that I read Alan's message correctly. I thought that we had the correct Steering Committee members in the Steering Wiki. 17:38:44 #chair bdmc mamarley raub 17:38:44 Current chairs: bdmc mamarley raub 17:38:53 Me too 17:39:09 There is a lot that is still undocumented at trilug 17:39:14 Was he talking about something else, or??? 17:39:42 I'd have to read it again O=) 17:39:43 Yes, I have tried to add some documentation as far as it concerns my position. 17:40:58 We can only deal with known knowns and known unknowns 17:42:17 But it is much more fun to deal with the unknown unknowns. 17:42:33 Oh sure ;) 17:43:09 Moving on to 17:43:12 #topic 2. Current Topics 17:43:32 Next month is a talk I hope will attract people 17:43:47 I haven't seen any advertising, yet. 17:44:01 I put it on trilug today 17:44:11 Of course, last month, I didn't see an announcement, either. 17:44:40 It is not on meetup yet. mamarley do oyu want to do the honors? 17:45:13 That wasn't the announcement that I was talking about, but that, too. 17:45:21 Sure, I can do that. 17:45:41 But not right at this moment, as usual, because I am at work. 17:46:13 I understand. I did the website so it should help you out 17:46:46 bdmc: I think I know what you are talking about but that is under 5. General Business 17:47:31 ??? 17:47:39 Ok, then I am clueless 17:47:58 What does that have to do with meeting announcements? 17:48:05 Or is this another topic? 17:48:43 As I said, I am cleless by your "That's wasn't the announcement that I was talking about" comment 17:49:05 So, moving on since there is nothing much else to say about next month's meeting 17:49:16 Every month, I expect to see a meeting announcement in TriLUG and TriLUG-Announce. 17:49:29 One or more. 17:49:48 Yeah, we need to be more active on that. 17:50:09 Last month, as far as I know, I never received either. 17:50:44 OK. I will send it out today 17:52:08 #topic 3. Future Topics 17:52:43 I will ask Jack Neely for an abstract and bio. And then we need to find speakers for Oct-Dec. 17:53:01 Isn't December usually the Christmas party? 17:53:08 Are we keeping a headcount? 17:53:41 mamarley: yeah but sometimes we mix that with a show-n-tell thingie. Like lightning talks or something. Just want to have options 17:54:09 There is a difference between show-and-tell and lightning talks. 17:54:37 bdmc: maybe but both need presenters 17:55:46 Certainly. In the past, we have sent out an announcement a month or so before the December meeting, asking people to sign up for "a table," where they show of their toys. 17:56:00 ( darn -- of = off ) 17:56:34 Just want to have us start thinking on that 17:57:17 BTW, the point about headcount is important. Also, what kind of info about our members we should know 17:57:26 If we get the survey ( poll ) out soon, we might get ideas, and volunteers, for October and November. 17:57:47 Reason is getting sponsors 17:58:22 Oh. I thought that we were aking the members what they wanted to see. 17:58:32 Good. Remind me by email to put that on the steering list. It should not only be us doing this 17:58:43 If this is for Marketing purposes, that is quite different. 17:58:44 bdmc: different things we want to know 17:59:05 one is to find out what members want 17:59:27 other is to be able to tell corporate sponsors our story 18:04:01 For instance, I am supposed to go meet teksystems about sponsorship 18:04:18 They SHOULD know who we are, but.... 18:04:38 company yes. Person I am meeting... 18:06:09 I also found out the OWASP group is struggling. It might be wise to meet with them and talk about combined events 18:06:37 Giggle time. I just got several messages with a ".eu" address, talking about a "new IRS" program. 18:06:54 lol 18:07:09 Yes, we have talked about some combinations with certain other people. 18:07:45 We need to revisit that 18:08:07 mamarley: if you know of other groups we should be involved with, don't be shy 18:08:08 Yes, nothing ever came of that, it just dropped on the floor. 18:08:23 I agree that we need to be more active on that front. 18:08:56 raub: There is a new Triangle IPv6 Users Group, but I haven't managed to make it to any of their meetings yet. 18:09:21 We may be one of the more general groups. There are "single language" or platform groups. 18:09:32 mamarley: I have. There has only been one. 18:09:46 But sometimes a give talk might work for both 18:09:59 I intended to go, but I had a scheduling conflict. 18:10:32 Exactly. Somebody talking about MySQL ( Percona ) might appeal to the Python or PHP or... groups. 18:11:01 Yep 18:11:41 I can send word into the PHP and Drupal groups. I don't know anybody else, or don't know that I know. 18:11:45 Anyway, just want you to be thinking on that. Second is we will talk on the list about what we should be asking on the questionnaire 18:12:13 Like, should we run another intro to linux class or even kubernetes? 18:12:24 But soon. Not these six month, no answer, things that we have had going on. 18:12:41 OK 18:12:51 Moving on 18:12:55 #topic 5. General Business 18:13:00 IRS update? 18:13:02 Well, those aren't the only choices. 18:13:09 I agree 18:13:30 I haven't looked. It has only just been a month, maybe less. I will look today. 18:13:49 I would hope that I would get an e-mail response. 18:14:00 You expect too much from .gov 18:14:19 I live in hope. 18:14:45 lol 18:14:55 Ok, that is all I have today 18:15:48 We have just enough in the "bank" to make the same pizza order in August that we did in July. ( about $20 extra, not counting IOUs. ) 18:17:11 We still have a bit of time, which is why I want to meet with tek 18:17:50 True. About three weeks, according to my mental calendar. 18:17:52 I do need to send out an email to the list about that. 18:19:19 Anything else we should add? 18:19:35 Not that I can think of. 18:19:59 Just communications with the members. ( on various topics ) 18:20:10 mamarley? 18:20:12 * mamarley hat nichts. 18:20:43 Good 18:20:47 #endmeeting
