Check for Agenda Additions 17:37:40 Anything I promised to do, but didn't? 17:37:57 You expect me to remember things?! 17:39:07 No more than me. 17:39:20 Well then 17:39:24 #topic 2. Current Topics 17:40:08 Aug 8 is the next talk. trilug, meetup pages up. Probably need to send another email/meetup reminder this week 17:40:53 The meetup number is higher already than the past two months' final numbers. 17:41:07 Impressive 17:41:19 We may have found a topic that people want. 17:41:29 I do agree 17:42:51 I think for a change that talk is under control 17:43:05 I will check if thomas can do the recording too 17:43:36 #action raub check if Thomas v Thomas can record next month's talk 17:43:55 I still want to see the survey, and see if we can see what people want to see. ( lots of sees ) 17:44:20 Help me out figure out what it should look like and I will make it happen 17:44:27 (lots of outs) 17:45:26 Only two. That's not too many to have. 17:45:37 I will try harder next time 17:46:03 mamarley: if oyu have any ideas of what we should ask in our survey, do share with us 17:46:21 I don't have anything right off the bat, but if I think of something I will let you know. 17:46:23 In any case, I would suggest both a "multiple choice" and an "essay" part to this survey. Offer some possible topics, and then ask them to suggest. 17:46:53 Check boxes, not radio buttons. 17:47:02 mamarley: deadline is end of the week. 17:47:05 No pressure 17:47:41 Of course that is part of... 17:47:45 #topic 3. Future Topics 17:48:17 September is the last month we have a speaker for 17:48:35 I (or whoever wants to) need to reach out to him again and ask for bio/abstract 17:48:59 Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, NoSQL, ( darn, that one that is built in to mobile applications ), maybe even Oracle, and perhaps programming languages talking to databases. 17:49:26 Languages: C, C++, Java, Javascript, PHP, Perl, Python, etc??? 17:49:43 Various Linux distributions 17:49:55 "Systems Administration" 17:50:11 We can reach out to OWASP because they seem to be in need of some help 17:50:17 Hints and Tips on various topics. 17:50:31 Intro to Linux CLI. 17:51:04 The Installing A Virtual Machine talk seemed to be popular. ( VirtualBox ) 17:51:15 OK, I will put together a backup presentation or two then 17:51:25 Raspberry PI stuff 17:51:43 Dr Jasper always seems to have some interesting toys. 17:51:59 I do agree 17:52:07 I can also reach back to mongodb 17:52:07 Hmmm. I am starting to run dry. Any other ideas for the Survey? 17:52:29 Good point. I missed that on my list. Also Cloudbase. 17:52:43 I think that is a start. Need to put it up in a test form do we all can throw darts at it 17:53:01 Maybe "How to use Amazon Cloud Services." 17:53:16 That might be a bit of a class kinda thingie 17:53:31 Like another intro to linux 17:53:34 And also "A Survey of Various Cloud Services." 17:53:44 I agree. Or both. 17:54:00 Questionnaire fodder 17:54:02 Both a Thursday night talk and a class. 17:54:26 I still want to see if we can come up with a location for a Saturday event 17:54:35 This is just my opinion, but I'm kind of tired of the cloud stuff. I'll put it in the survey, I guess, if I'm allows to take the survey. 17:54:43 I wonder if that would be better 17:55:02 mamarley: I do understand. I have the same feelings towards machine learning 17:55:04 ( Do you want me to answer your question in e-mail, or here? ) 17:55:23 There since you can do some cut-n-paste as needed 17:55:54 Well, as I remember there are two messages. This one, and the one telling people that we need money. 17:56:17 I don't think that there is much cut-and-paste. 17:56:22 Yep. Ideas on what I should touch on are welcome 17:56:24 I can't remember, do we have a sponsor for the next meeting? 17:56:36 I am still trying to get one 17:56:39 Nope. Not that I know, anywya. 17:57:20 That leads to 17:57:24 #topic 5. General Business 17:57:36 Back to the Survey, there is always the "buzzword of the week," Docker, Kubernetes, etc. 17:57:41 I'm not going to be able to do the same thing I did at the last meeting because simultaneously my property tax bill came in, two trees at my house decided to need removing, and a mishap with the return of a defective phone caused a $960 charge all at the same time. Sorry. :( 17:58:00 Ouch!!! 17:58:07 I have a feeling we are not in a better financial shape than last month 17:58:42 mamarley: I do not think we should be footing the pizza bill off our pockets 17:58:55 Which is why I think we do need a bit of revamping 17:58:57 Less, as I remember. If I remember correctly, I will take a minute to log in to the Credit Union, but we have about $80. Period. 18:00:16 Issue we have is once again is if we want sponsors we need to offer something to them. Most of them have to justitfy why they put money into a club like ours 18:00:51 Which is related in a large part to number of people watching out meetings 18:00:59 s/out/our/ 18:01:16 And we doing stuff with other groups 18:01:29 We're rich! $98 in the account, although there is an IOU on that. 18:01:36 Oh 18:01:59 bdmc: any news on the nonprofit thingie? 18:02:30 Darn. I meant to do that before this meeting. Let me take a minute more, and see if it says anything more. 18:03:07 It is possible that being nonprofit we might be able to hold meetings at RTI for free 18:03:47 I will find out this week for sure though 18:05:38 I looked at where I submitted the form, and it just says that I paid it. Or something. Let me look in place number two. 18:05:46 K 18:07:45 Hmmm. I have no idea, at the moment. I will have to report back later. 18:09:10 Understood 18:10:11 Well, that is all I have for now 18:10:53 Gee, not a two-hour meeting? 18:11:07 I'm willing to call us done. 18:11:18 It happens! 18:11:21 * mamarley has nothing else. 18:11:26 Alright then 18:11:29 #endmeeting
