17:35:14 <Tribot> Current chairs: bdmc mamarley raub
17:35:23 <raub> bdmc: OK. We will get to it
17:35:46 <raub> #topic 1. Check for Agenda Additions
17:36:17 <raub> I take that is a no
17:36:18 <bdmc> I have a CAcert Board Meeting on Thursday, from 16:00 to 18:00 or so.  Since I don't have SSH access from the meeting room, I would need to stay at home until that was finished.  I could bring pizza after that, but....
17:37:02 <raub> OK. I do not have th foggiest idea of where you are getting the pizza.
17:37:15 <raub> If you give me info an directions I can see what I can do
17:37:21 <bdmc> Any random Domino's.
17:37:36 <raub> Thing is I will already be bringing the other stuff
17:37:55 <bdmc> True.  As I say, I could still get it.
17:37:57 <raub> Let's get to the right topic then
17:38:02 <raub> #topic 2. Current Topics
17:38:41 <raub> What do oyu want to do about pizza numbers? And I still need help on what to write for the email to tell poeple we need support
17:39:44 <bdmc> Agreed.  As far as numbers, we have about twice as many confirmations than we have had for at least the past couple three months.
17:40:23 <bdmc> I thought that the questionnaire was a good start, and might be able to go as is.
17:40:43 <bdmc> mamarley: Did you get a chance to look at the questionnaire?
17:40:50 <raub> mamarley: did oyu see questionnaire?
17:41:13 <mamarley> Nope, I have been at work the entire time since you emailed it.  I will look at it after work.
17:41:32 <mamarley> (Well, since I noticed the mail anyway.)
17:42:00 <raub> OK. I will ping qqx and dsmacow too directly
17:42:35 <raub> bdmc: I am so not happy with it yet
17:42:51 <bdmc> OK.  Anything specific?
17:43:00 <raub> Feels incomplete
17:43:13 <raub> Can't put my finger on it
17:43:21 <bdmc> I had a slight issue with the System Administration question, but was willing to let it pass.
17:43:39 <raub> Edit it alreayd then
17:43:57 <raub> Don't wait on a blessing from the Space Pope
17:44:31 <bdmc> I was wondering whether it could talk about System Administration for home users, or something along those lines.  ( Maintaining your own server, or something like that. )
17:45:10 <raub> I don't know because it leads to what we/they want the club to be
17:45:58 <raub> We also need to send out reminders for the meeting in meetup and email.
17:46:01 <bdmc> Agreed.  We might also look at Goldilocks for the first question.  I know, "just right" doesn't give us anything to go from.
17:46:03 <raub> mamarley: do you have time?
17:46:27 <mamarley> I just took a quick look at it.  Everything there looks good, but I agree with the feeling of incompleteness.
17:47:04 <bdmc> raub: Does anybody but you have Edit access?
17:47:27 <raub> Here's something I wanted to add but do not know how to word it: what do you want out of the club? As in hobby, professional development, networking
17:48:33 <bdmc> I agree with the need for such a question.  Definitely an "other," too!
17:48:50 <raub> Yep.
17:49:12 <bdmc> Education as well as Professional Devel.
17:49:27 <raub> yep
17:49:32 <bdmc> Edit access?
17:49:53 <raub> AFAIK you have it; it is in the trilug goggle docs account
17:50:16 <bdmc> Ahhh.  That explains it.  I was looking in Google Docs.
17:51:53 <bdmc> I sent an Edit Request, but I don't know where it might go.
17:52:27 <raub> I got it. Weird but done
17:52:35 <bdmc> Thank you.
17:53:33 <bdmc> What do you think about three options for the first question?
17:53:36 <raub> Let me know if it works
17:53:40 <bdmc> It did.
17:53:46 <raub> Put it up so we can check
17:55:16 <bdmc> Hmmm.  How do you an an item to the list of checkboxes?  I tried clicking on the "Add option" at the bottom, but does nothing.
17:55:42 <bdmc> Of course it works AFTER I complain about it.
17:55:42 <raub> Click on the lowest checkbox entry
17:55:47 <raub> Aliens
17:56:15 <raub> Back to topic, Thomas will be recording this talk
17:57:18 <raub> And Pizza plan: I need two options depending on the reply from the mythical pizza email
17:57:33 <mamarley> Mythical pizza email?
17:57:52 <raub> mythical as in it has not been sent yet. So vapourware
17:58:50 <bdmc> OK.  As far as that goes -- What do we need to say?
17:59:03 <mamarley> Oh, the one about our dire financial situation.
17:59:07 <raub> One option is if we expect not many people rising up to the occasion
17:59:17 <raub> Second if we feel like we have their backing
17:59:20 <bdmc> "For the past many months, TriLUG has been running at a deficite. ( sp?? )
17:59:28 <mamarley> deficit
17:59:46 <bdmc> Merci
18:00:31 <bdmc> Each month, the amount that we have collected in "The Bucket" has only covered a small portion of our meeting expenses.
18:00:51 <raub> On wednesday I might be meeting potential sponsor from the headhunting company that has been in our meetings before
18:01:04 <raub> But I hold no expectations
18:01:20 <bdmc> Although we have had meeting sponsors, they have been few and far between.
18:02:05 <bdmc> We are asking for your help in solving this issue.
18:02:09 <raub> bdmc: email it
18:02:46 <bdmc> Does your employer have a program that might provide funding for organizations such as ours?
18:03:21 <raub> bdmc: I will have to ask
18:03:27 <raub> Don't think so
18:03:32 <bdmc> Are you willing to sponsor a meeting, or at least donate some larger funds than normal?
18:03:46 <bdmc> No, I'm not talking to you, I am talking to the letter.
18:03:59 <raub> Ah ok.
18:04:24 <bdmc> I am just writing off the top of my head, at the moment.
18:05:19 <bdmc> Both of you, feel free to contriute, or correct.
18:05:59 <bdmc> ( oops -- contriute = contribute )
18:06:17 <raub> Ok
18:07:30 <raub> Anyway, anything else?
18:08:55 <bdmc> Not from me.
18:09:43 <raub> OK. mamarley if you do not have time to send updates, let me know and I will do it
18:09:58 <mamarley> OK
18:10:38 <raub> I will give an update after the meeting on Wednesday. That is one of the reasons I wanted the questionnaire out
18:11:14 <bdmc> Sounds good.
18:11:26 <bdmc> I have made a couple of edits.
18:11:34 <raub> K. I will look into it
18:11:40 <bdmc> Feel free to change those.
18:11:49 <raub> ANd will grab what you wrote and put an email together
18:12:05 <bdmc> OK.  Send mail if you want anything.
18:12:47 <raub> Well then
