23:28:49 <raub> We are done with this year and need to come up with talks pronto
23:29:27 <bdmc> Agreed.
23:29:57 <bdmc> I haven't been to that part of the wiki recently.  Do we have any tentative speakers?
23:31:15 <raub> Maybe Dwaine will be available
23:31:54 <raub> I will put together something this weekend as plan B. Can talk about hard drive performance testing or automating aws with terraform
23:32:30 <raub> I need to do that anyway so we have some standby talks
23:33:15 <bdmc> Yes.  We talked about some kind of Unix history thing, and some kind of tag-team thing.  I forget what the subject ( other than history ) was there.
23:34:29 <raub> That is also an option. I will put my stuff organized and then we decide what to announce
23:35:25 <raub> Sonced I will reach out to tek systems since they said they migth give a quick talk
23:35:55 <raub> s/Sonced/Also/
23:36:00 <bdmc> Well, I was actually thinking of a list.  Of course, we need to "advertise" to the group, too.
23:36:09 <raub> That too
23:36:32 <bdmc> Good thought about Tek Systems.
23:36:55 <raub> Other thing: we talked about having netactuate give a talk. You have contacted them more than me. Would you like to reach out to them?
23:37:44 <bdmc> Certainly.  Maybe tonight.  ( or I may forget again )  ( I'll put it on my calendar. )
23:38:39 <raub> I will also email Lauren to get more details on the class planning. I talked to issa but I would like to have him involved
23:39:01 <raub> Moving on
23:39:05 <raub> #topic 3. Future Topics
23:39:12 <raub> I will bypass this for now
23:39:20 <raub> and
23:39:25 <raub> #topic 4. Tech Items
23:39:32 <raub> On
23:39:36 <raub> #topic 5. General Business
23:39:54 <raub> I will check the donation page tonight and email you
23:40:29 <raub> What is the deadline for the IRS letter?
23:40:37 <bdmc> OK.  Just as we were starting this, I remembered that we talked about adding the Amazon link(s?) to that page.
23:40:58 <bdmc> No idea any more.
23:41:28 <bdmc> I will need to look it up.
23:41:35 <bdmc> Fairly soon, I would think.
23:42:44 <raub> I can look up to. I think I wrote down some stuff here but need to dig up. So, would you like me to take that over while you worry about donation page or you are good?
23:43:59 <bdmc> Well, I spent much of today working on a couple of job applications.  However, if I make myself reminders, I should do it.
23:44:54 <raub> Alright then
23:46:23 <raub> I also think we need to start thinking on reachng out for potential new officers
23:46:43 <raub> so by the time election comes there will be replacements
23:48:43 <bdmc> Agreed.  I was just writing myself a couple of reminders.
23:49:56 <raub> We do need the PR person who does lots of PR
23:50:07 <bdmc> Absolutely!
23:51:26 <raub> In any case, that is all I have for now
23:52:09 <bdmc> OK.  I don't think I have anything extra.
23:52:30 <raub> Alright then. We did have a meeting all things considered
23:52:36 <bdmc> B-)
23:52:47 <raub> Seeya next week or by email
