Topic: FreeIPA 03:10:25 <coxn> so are we brainstorming topics AND times here? 03:10:31 <coxn> or just topics, or... ? 03:10:35 <jeremyhwllc> they might do wireshark. DC919 is a new Def Con chapter local. they meet at splatspace 03:10:48 <alpo> (all of the above) 03:10:48 <coxn> do we want to put the 2/14 vs. other time to a vote? 03:11:14 <jeremyhwllc> i vote to move it 03:11:24 <coxn> agreed 03:11:46 <billf> so far it's 2/14 (alpo) vs other (jeremyhwllc & coxn) 03:12:01 * alpo can be swayed 03:12:06 <coxn> is justis here?

03:13:25 <alpo> did jeremy agee indicate whether he'd be ready for a preso quickly? 03:13:31 <billf> I vote not to combine with DC919 03:13:38 <coxn> okay that's good to know 03:13:38 <alpo> coxn: dunno much about dc919 yet 03:14:00 <jeremyhwllc> i went to thier first meeting 03:14:01 <coxn> in case it wasn't obvious I like the idea of some cross-polination of groups 03:15:44 <billf> alpo: jeremy agee did not say anything about that, but I can email him 03:16:17 <billf> jeremy agee works at RH and does identity management - in which case he might be able to Host us 03:17:44 <justis> I'm lurking, but can't really participate 03:18:09 <billf> we should keep the meeting on a thurs, and not move it suit another group 03:18:56 <coxn> I think this is a one-shot deal because of a conflict, but I agree in principle 03:19:07 <justis> I suggest that we move it to either the 7th or the 21st, but let our speaker choose 03:19:17 <justis> we're more likely to find a speaker if both dates are available 03:19:27 <billf> OK - shall I email jeremy back ? 03:19:32 <jeremyhwllc> right, i just recall the discussion, they would like to meet in raleigh sometimes if there was a place to do it 03:20:07 <alpo> billf: are we asking jeremy *and* the wireshark duo ? 03:21:07 <billf> duno, I would say we should pursue one hard first, and if it doesn't firm up by the end of the weekend, push for the other 03:21:22 <justis> let's tackle this next week, but Monday night at 10pm is no longer a good time for me to meet 03:21:48 <coxn> justis: noted; let's discuss that on the list 03:21:48 <alpo> i felt like jeremy could wait, the IBM guys are "hot" (practiced) 03:21:58 <billf> justis: let's work out a better time over email after this meeting 03:22:18 <coxn> can we agree on trying to get the IBM folks for the 21st or 7th? 03:22:53 <billf> alpo: so you need to pursue them, and if we go for Feb 7 or 21 we should be able to get wesley to host 03:22:54 <jeremyhwllc> coxn: i think that sounds like a good idea 03:23:02 <alpo> sure, we should follow up tomorrow 03:23:10 <coxn> awesome 03:23:11 <billf> I vote for 7th, so I can attend, and it before FOSS fair 03:23:29 <coxn> who wants to have the action item to follow up?
