Do you think TriLUG is big enough for that? 17:51:20 raub: howdy 17:51:23 #chair raub 17:51:23 Current chairs: Jmainguy jeoff raub 17:51:30 Hey. FInch crashed onme 17:52:00 jeoff: I believe we can certainly qualify for the 501c3, and if we do all the work to get there, I would also likely commit to following up with the org once a year to ensure they are meeting the requirements 17:52:02 raub: no worries 17:52:31 we are talking about potentially going for the 501c3 again, I like the idea as I can get time off of work if we do, and they will match a donation if I do 17:52:37 raub: Finches should probably stay in the air 17:52:58 jeoff: you have a point 17:53:44 https://steering.trilug.org/wiki/index.php/LegalStatus is a good additional document to review along with that 2010 meeting.wav 17:53:45 Jmainguy: we fought and sunk money to get the 503c back. I would like to see it happening, but I have no skills on that 17:53:54 raub++ 17:54:28 yeah I would like to see it happening, and I need to talk myself into getting 501c3 skills and committing to doing it for us to commit to it as an org 17:54:34 unless someone else volunteers to be that person 17:54:41 jeoff: can you access the trilug website repo now? 17:54:46 so thats where I am at with it 17:54:59 Jmainguy: I thought you said you had family who spoke their language 17:55:09 raub: I do, I would definitly lean on them 17:55:15 Bribery FTW 17:55:18 =) 17:56:33 anything else on the 501c3 topic before we move on? 17:56:58 Jmainguy: nope 17:57:09 Nope 17:57:15 #topic free talk 17:57:25 jeoff: check dat git access for raub 17:57:48 raub: you doing alright? have a good week? 17:58:11 Not bad 18:00:00 Jmainguy: hello jeoff, this is git@pilot running gitolite3 v3.6.6-6-g7c8f0ab on git 1.7.9.5 18:00:01 good 18:00:04 is that what we need? 18:00:11 I believe so 18:00:14 jeoff++ 18:00:31 raub++ for being persistent through my stubbornness 18:01:03 jeoff: Now you will be able to take a look (again) at the donation page bdmc created 18:02:11 raub: where is that page again? 18:02:59 I will need to check, but I do not think bdmc and I were able to have it pushed through the repo. So chances are it is in the server itself 18:03:18 Ah, makes sense 18:03:38 With that said, AFIK until we get the 503c we will need to declare those donations 18:03:45 #action jeoff find the donation page 18:04:16 For Matt Flyer, does he now have access? 18:04:43 I did not know if you wanted to go through the instructions to onboard a steering member to see if they work 18:05:28 Should we set up a call to go through that with him? 18:06:49 Might be helpful 18:07:34 #action jeoff set up a meeting with the new guy 18:07:41 by declare, I think we have to pay 21% to the gov for each one 18:07:56 Let me know if you need help, jeoff 18:08:05 raub: yeah I think jeoff and I need to onboard him, so that we can review the doc 18:08:18 dont want to put that burden on you again, but we will def ping u if we get stuck 18:08:30 Jmainguy: I was expecting something salty like that; IRS does like its piece of action 18:08:35 K 18:09:03 The wiki page describing the server resrouces should still be accurate 18:09:40 raub++ yeah I think they are, you did a good job on those 18:10:24 Don't know about good job; it was just desperation: we needed data so we could decide how to deal with the beast 18:11:07 =) 18:13:29 Anything else we need to cover? 18:13:54 I got nothing 18:13:58 jeoff: ^^? 18:14:08 I just Jmainguy: nothing 18:14:16 thank you all for your continued service to the LUG 18:14:24 #endmeeting
