Do a "pvmove --abort" 18:48:53 <justis> any other pressing issues to discuss about systems? 18:50:15 <justis> #topic meeting wrap-up 18:50:26 <justis> anything else to discuss before we dismiss? 18:51:01 <justis> coxn alpo snyrk billf ... ? 18:51:52 <coxn> err... kernel update? 18:51:53 <snyrk> i have no critical business 18:51:57 <coxn> which can wait 18:52:01 <coxn> until we have a plan 18:52:15 <coxn> so... motion to adjourn 18:52:58 <billf> when is Peak10's next party >? 18:53:26 <justis> billf: :D 18:53:38 <justis> hopefully, their next party is on a day I can actually attend 18:53:43 <justis> sounds like I missed a good time 18:54:17 <justis> #action snyrk to draft placeholder text for announcing November meeting *prior to next SC meeting* 18:54:29 <justis> #action billf to process new member applications 18:54:37 <justis> #action alpo to pvmove --abort 18:54:57 <justis> coxn: cool ... thanks for the help and good luck with your builds 18:55:16 <justis> billf: thanks for your help and input ...
