17:34:39 <raub> #topic 1. Check for Agenda Additions
17:34:54 <raub> Moving on
17:34:57 <raub> #topic 2. Current Topics
17:35:12 <bdmc> What did you think of my suggestion this morning?
17:35:25 <raub> bdmc: about?
17:35:36 <bdmc> I sent you a possible speaker.
17:36:12 <bdmc> Or is that "Future Topics?
17:36:14 <raub> Didn't see it yet. Only saw your email replying the smil thingie
17:36:25 <raub> Let's make it future then\
17:37:19 <raub> I did post the announcement to the triphython list; found out the guy who runs it works 2 doors to my right
17:37:23 <bdmc> We seem to be set for this month, both speaker and pizza-wise.
17:37:57 <bdmc> This electronic world does tend to both bring us together and spread us apart.
17:38:01 <raub> Yeah but we should make more of a point to remind me we are running on contributions
17:38:07 <raub> That too
17:38:30 <bdmc> Add it to the card deck permanently.
17:38:41 <raub> Also, I no longer expect a table at ATO. All my emails were left unanswered
17:39:01 <bdmc> We used to announce "Our sponsor tonight is YOU!  Pay up!"
17:39:17 <raub> LOL
17:39:34 <raub> I will see about updating the announcement slidedeck properly before the meeting
17:39:37 <bdmc> If I remeber correctly, I sent Todd a couple of messages, too.
17:39:48 <raub> Instead of a half-ass 5 minutes job before the talk
17:40:11 <bdmc> Oh, yes.  I also heard from Aaron this morning!
17:40:36 <raub> Yeah. I do wish I had heard from him a month ago, but we move on
17:40:54 <bdmc> A month ago, two months ago, three months ago.....
17:41:00 <raub> Yeah
17:41:36 <raub> I do not know the attendance trend yet so cannot recommend pizza numbers
17:42:00 <bdmc> I haven't looked, either, but it is --- oh, yes.  It's this week.
17:42:21 <bdmc> 17 have signed up.
17:42:28 <bdmc> That's low.
17:42:53 <raub> Still have two days. Chris Calloway, the python guy, was excited about it
17:42:55 <raub> Yep
17:43:16 <raub> Moving on
17:43:19 <raub> #topic 3. Future Topics
17:43:32 <raub> OK, we do need a Nov speaker. bdmc?
17:43:36 <bdmc> June and July were 21.
17:44:27 <bdmc> I don't think that I have anything to talk about.   Don't we have some this and that things that we can use to fill space?
17:44:59 <raub> Yes. Like the email you mentioned
17:45:29 <bdmc> Hmmm.  "A brief introduction to the Linux Command Line."  What else.....  How to get to the meeting place.
17:46:16 <bdmc> History of UNIX, and how it became Linux?
17:46:45 <bdmc> We'd get a lot of "audience participation" in either one of those.
17:46:56 <raub> Probably
17:47:16 <raub> I did send out the questionnaire
17:47:32 <raub> Don't care it is not perfect. The great is the enemy of the good
17:47:39 <bdmc> Especially since there are some members who have been around for a lot of that history.
17:47:46 <bdmc> I don't think that it went anywhere.
17:47:58 <raub> We probably have members that were alive before linux
17:48:05 <raub> Hmmm. I wonder why
17:48:15 <bdmc> I KNOW we do.  Before UNIX, that's a bit harder.
17:48:29 * mamarley , even, is technically older than Linux. :)
17:48:45 <mamarley> By about 6 months.
17:48:48 <bdmc> I think that I saw a message from the mail system, saying that it needed to be cleared.
17:48:50 <raub> I see why. It is waiting to be aproved because fat mail
17:48:56 <raub> mamarley: hwo do you feel?
17:49:12 <bdmc> mamarley: "comma" is older than Linux?
17:49:35 <mamarley> bdmc: Your client must handle CTCP ACTION messages weird.
17:49:46 <mamarley> I see that as "[13:48:28] -*- mamarley , even, is technically older than Linux. :)"
17:50:20 <bdmc> That is what I got, too.  It still doesn't make sense.
17:50:36 <bdmc> OHHHH!   You mean that YOU are older.  OK!!
17:50:50 <raub> bdmc's client might be more helpful than others. i.e. right text. Mine is all in full ASCII glory
17:51:52 <raub> If one of you could approve the questionnaire email, I would appreciate. As a matter of principle I do not approve my own emails
17:52:08 <mamarley> I thought I put you on the no-approval-required list.
17:52:16 <bdmc> Ah principle principal.
17:52:29 <bdmc> Or is that schminciple?
17:52:57 <raub> could be because reply to != sender because sending right from within google wuestionnaire thingie
17:52:58 <bdmc> I don't have any idea what, or how, to do.
17:53:12 <raub> It is in the wiki
17:53:14 * mamarley knows.  Just a sec.
17:53:39 <bdmc> Ah.  That explains it.  I can't read.  ( Well, I can't find a lot of stuff in the Wiki. )
17:53:59 <raub> bdmc: remember that even Tek systems offered to make a short presentation; I can check the topics
17:54:12 <bdmc> I can do some research on the UNIX history thing, if you like.  We could do sort of a tag-team thing in November.
17:54:21 <raub> Sure
17:54:37 <bdmc> I don't remember seeing any topics.  Not in what you told us, anyway.
17:55:09 <bdmc> I remember a lot of that history, but the memories are fading.
17:55:09 <raub> I do not remember writign them down, so I need to get back to them
17:55:33 <mamarley> I think I'm going to run out of time before I can get this message approved though.  I first have to dig through my old email again to find the URL and password for the steering wiki, then I have to dig through the steering wiki again to find the password for the mailing list.
17:55:42 <mamarley> And I need to leave for a meeting in two minutes.
17:55:45 <raub> Moving onto
17:55:50 <raub> mamarley: OK
17:55:56 <raub> It can wait to later on today
17:56:06 <raub> #topic 4. Tech Items
17:56:23 <raub> We do need to get serious about updating pilot
17:57:46 <raub> And finally
17:57:49 <raub> #topic 5. General Business
17:57:58 <bdmc> mamarley: I just looked at MailMan admin, Mailing List blocks and Passwords, but still don't know what to do.  I guess that I can figure it out.
17:58:17 <raub> bdmc: if there is no info, I can add it
17:58:23 <mamarley> I just accepted the mail.  I've got to go now.  Bye.
17:58:31 <raub> mamarley: danke
17:58:39 <raub> bdmc: any IRS update?
17:59:33 <bdmc> What are you looking for?  We received their decision, and guidance on the way forward.  However, until we have $600 of "free" money, there is nothing to do.
18:00:10 <raub> bdmc: so the other fee we paid we are not getting it refunded, right?
18:01:23 <bdmc> Yes, we got that back.  That's why our current balance is about 280.  ( I will check. )
18:02:56 <raub> OK. Also, did you have time to fight with making square run in our website? If you have some info I can give it a try
18:04:03 <bdmc> Memory was off.  The balance as of this moment is $469.98.
18:04:43 <raub> That is OK. My plan is getting the square donation thingie up and then announce to the members
18:05:56 <bdmc> I did some work, and then put it aside.  I will get back to it and get ready.  I was working with their "sample code," and it didn't work perfectly.  However, I think that I know what I need to do.  We want a "blank entry" for this don't we?  Not a pre-determined amount?
18:06:16 <raub> Yeah.
18:06:46 <raub> BTW, you could clone the current website and use that to update the test one so you have a place to try
18:07:18 <bdmc> OK.  I have sample code, as well as their documentation, for that case.  It should be possible to put a "button ( actually a blank and a button ) on a page, and then when you click the button, it takes you to Square to actually deal with the sensitive information.
18:07:31 <raub> Excellent
18:08:09 <bdmc> It is something that I have done before with Paypal ( and perhaps Square ), so it should be relatively straight-forward.
18:08:27 <bdmc> ( "the test one???" )
18:08:32 <raub> Cool
18:09:05 <bdmc> what do you mean
18:09:08 <bdmc> ?
18:09:16 <raub> I know of it from the repos. I think qqx mentioned it before in one of the emails when we were switching to the new interface
18:09:35 <raub> i.e. when he asked people to try the jeckyl version of the website
18:09:55 <raub> http://test.trilug.org
18:10:20 <bdmc> Not exactly a live system.
18:10:46 <raub> I will copy the current site into it first
18:11:06 <bdmc> OK,  Thank you.  Then I will need to work out how to get there from here.
18:11:07 <raub> And hope that suffices
18:12:23 <bdmc> ( Off topic -- at this point, I would say that we are on an 11 month. )
18:13:44 <raub> How bad is that?
18:14:23 <bdmc> I am talking about pizzas.  Not bad or good.
18:14:38 <raub> Oh. I thought still on last topic
18:15:15 <bdmc> That was why I said that I was off topic.
18:15:57 <raub> Aha
18:16:03 <bdmc> Anyway, anthing else.  I will work on the Square interface, and let you know where I get.
18:16:14 <raub> Ok. I am done
18:16:18 <bdmc> Darn.  I keep missing question marks these days.
18:16:29 <raub> They are evil
18:16:43 <bdmc> How about the upside-down ones?
18:17:04 <raub> They are el diabolico (sp?)
18:17:11 <bdmc> B-)
18:17:22 <raub> Ok, I am done. Anything else?
18:17:28 <bdmc> I don't know how I might create one, so I am safe.
18:17:36 <bdmc> I'm done, too.
18:17:36 <raub> good
18:17:41 <raub> alright then
