18:34:11 <jeoff> no additions here
18:34:17 <raub> #topic 2. Current Topics
18:34:53 <raub> Next month we will have Dwain. That seems to be under control, so no reason to go over it. Besides maybe send out an announcement to the list
18:36:05 <raub> #topic 3. Future Topics
18:36:14 <bdmc> Saying that that message that we sent you last month, and then sent out a correction, and then sent out another correction, and then....???
18:36:40 <raub> bdmc: something like that
18:36:58 <raub> I think people now know we are focusing on next meeting
18:37:31 <bdmc> jeoff: You are committed ( or should be committed B-) ) for April?
18:37:35 <jeoff> yeah
18:37:44 <bdmc> So May.
18:38:14 <bdmc> I had suggested, sort of in passing, some kind of round table or group discussion, or something.
18:38:51 <jeoff> Did we have that sort of with the WFH stuff?
18:39:06 <raub> bdmc: Sure. When? And, topic?
18:39:25 <raub> I still want (one of us) to reach out to Dr. Jasper to see if he is game to talk
18:39:43 <bdmc> I have suggested a revisiting of "The History of Linux," or "How We Came To Be," or, for that matter, other topics.
18:40:16 <bdmc> There are certainly people in the group who have personal knowledge of some of the "Ancient History of Unix."
18:40:52 <raub> Ok. Also remember we got a list of topics people are interested on
18:41:00 <bdmc> We might also see if anybody wants to participate in "Odd Computing Platforms That We Have Used."
18:41:25 <bdmc> I didn't see much in your latest conversation, but maybe I missed it.
18:41:45 <raub> That was an email to the list. I will compile and post to steering
18:42:03 <bdmc> Anything interesting in particular?
18:42:57 <raub> I will have to look, Incidentally, https://steering.trilug.org/wiki/index.php/UpcomingMeetings is now current
18:43:10 <bdmc> I was hoping that something had caught your eye, but I guess not.
18:43:35 <raub> I need to write it down or I will not remember
18:44:45 <bdmc> I was wondering whether round tables or the like might not be more appealing to participants than formal presentations.
18:45:48 <raub> bdmc: based on January's meeting, we seem to get a lot of people in those round tables. Sometimes it becomes a two-people-talk-and-the-rest-listen but that is more of a catherding issue
18:46:44 <bdmc> I --- Darn - recruiter phone call
18:46:57 <raub> With that said, I think people were asking for stuff that can become projects the can do and then use them as something they can use to help job hunting
18:55:10 <raub> I will put the list on the steering list later on today.  I will ask all of you to put any thoughts you have so we can decide how we will handle them
18:55:17 <jeoff> indeed
18:55:42 <raub> #topic 4. Tech Items
18:55:44 <jeoff> we can strategically use the next few meetings to get refine the ideas we have for future informal presentations
18:55:55 <raub> jeoff: Good idea
18:56:16 <raub> Also, use the mailing list instead of waiting an entire week to talk about it
18:56:30 <jeoff> yeah, I'm not great about that
18:56:43 <raub> I will skip the Moya stuff because Matt is not here
18:58:02 <jeoff> raub: I plan to send an email to the steering list Wednesday soliciting a planning meeting so we can be very clear on the body of work before we touch anything
18:58:19 <raub> Sounds like a plan
19:00:02 <raub> Anything else we want to cover?
19:00:25 <jeoff> nope
19:01:08 <raub> I will assume bdmc is also done for today
19:01:19 <raub> So, thanks for showing up
