17:33:24 <justis> #topic nominate agenda
17:33:32 <justis> 1) speaker for March
17:33:56 <justis> 2) future speaker pipeline
17:34:40 <billf> I emailed Brian about CAcert talk for March, no feedback yet
17:34:48 <justis> ok, thx
17:35:14 <justis> the last time we did a CAcert meeting (3 years ago?) it got lukewarm reception
17:35:53 <justis> alpo: are you there?
17:35:53 <billf> perhaps we sould mix it with gpg or ssh
17:35:56 <justis> coxn: are you there?
17:36:06 <justis> snyrk_: are you there?
17:36:41 <justis> billf: yeah, I think that helping people understand asymmetric key crypto from a few different angles and use cases could make it a better meeting
17:37:26 <justis> billf: I'm also concerned that Brian McCullough may be a rather dry presenter
17:37:32 <billf> ahh, ok
17:38:46 * snyrk is not feeling so hot, but mostly here
17:38:54 <justis> while we're shaking the trees to see which speakers are ready, perhaps we should pester Adam Drew again?
17:39:00 <justis> snyrk: under the weather?
17:40:00 <snyrk> justis: aye, never fails when i screw with my schedule with classes
17:41:49 <justis> snyrk: I'm not sure how those are related, but I sympathize about the correlation.
17:42:11 <justis> I just emailed Adam Drew to ask him about talking
17:42:52 <snyrk> heh... too much stress, less good exerecize, less sleep
17:43:43 <justis> ah, ok
17:43:46 <justis> snyrk: plz feel better soon
17:45:24 <justis> alright, so we got into talking about speakers, but I was still trying to nominate agenda
17:45:29 <justis> anything else to discuss today?
17:45:36 <justis> I'm ok if we simply focus on speaker pipeline today
17:45:50 <justis> just making sure we know the scope of this meeting before we dive in
17:49:37 <snyrk> alpo: did you open up the Truecrypt awhile back and not close it?
17:51:18 <billf> guys, we should not be spending 20min deciding on an agenda, can we get one with it.
17:52:11 <billf> looks like coxn and alpo are not here
17:52:28 <justis> billf: shall we just dismiss the meeting and continue on steering@trilug.org?
17:52:47 <justis> billf: I appreciate how much you've been doing between our meetings to prime the speaker pipeline
17:53:09 <justis> alpo just replied on steering@trilug.org, so he's not truly AFK?
17:53:44 <billf> afaik alpo is not on irc, MIA more likey
17:53:57 <justis> ok
17:54:18 <billf> so we need to find more speakers, and fill the slots
17:54:23 <justis> agreed
17:54:28 <justis> particularly the March slot
17:54:39 <billf> we should also get some backup talks prep'ed for emergancies
17:55:00 <justis> agreed
17:55:14 <justis> #topic speaker pipeline
17:55:53 <justis> any additional folks in our crosshairs?
17:55:56 <billf> we could put a call out on the ml for speakers, and suggest that they try their SELF talk out here first
17:56:04 <justis> much agreed
17:56:52 <justis> I think we should be collecting a list of 20 min talks that people are willing to give
17:57:07 <justis> with a little info about their availability and how much warning they need
17:57:22 <billf> ok, and ask on the ml ?
17:57:28 <justis> IMO, "two of a kind" is enough to call a meeting and then we fill the last 20 mins with lightning talks that follow suit
17:57:33 <justis> yeah, definitely on the ML
17:57:53 <billf> that might spark some interest, which we can channel
17:58:24 <justis> it'll be great :)
17:58:46 <justis> I'm pretty tempted to go to SELF this year
17:59:23 <justis> I want to start encouraging some of our local talent to take the stage
17:59:36 <justis> and then to export the best of our local talent
18:00:08 <justis> either by encouraging them toward larger Linux fests or by providing archives of our presos
18:00:34 <justis> Jeremy Davis was at Thursday's meeting and was still excited about recording video
18:01:12 <justis> I'm emailing steering@ about that right now.
18:09:05 <justis> billf: Let's take this async again. Many thanks for your contributions :)
18:09:30 <justis> snyrk: I hope you feel better soon. Thanks for peeking at the keyboard.
