Box, then I vote we keep it 16:17:37 no, I'm not sure that service exists in the US 16:17:39 I like the consistency of having a PO box 16:17:43 Keeping a stable address has advantages. 16:17:58 Didn't someone say something about PO box forwarding? 16:18:23 http://gregjordandesign.com/blog/email-notification-from-the-u-s-post-office/ 16:18:56 nice! 16:19:43 but I can't find anything official 16:20:35 okay shall we agree on something? 16:20:47 or agree to punt for a month? 16:20:57 people still stewing on what they think on this? 16:20:59 I have a key to the PO Box 16:21:05 somewhere 16:21:20 and one of us should get Alan's key 16:21:21 I don't think we have month to renew 16:21:26 it doesn't have to fall on Alan 16:21:33 I vote that we renew it 16:21:39 I vote we keep the PO Box for now. 16:21:45 sounds good to me. 16:22:14 we can look into email notification and also consider rotating the mail fetching duty if Alan doesn't want to do it all. 16:22:22 so... 16:22:22 #topic LT Speakers for 11 July 16:22:29 #agreed we keep the P.O. Box 16:22:50 we have 2 speakers so far, and maybe Magnus from IRC will do something 16:22:58 coxn: ++ 16:23:18 I will throw my hat in this week too 16:23:43 cool 16:23:45 I can likely recruit at least one additional lightning talk. I'll work on that today. 16:23:48 what else do we need on this front? 16:24:06 we need a wiki page 16:24:07 Has anyone reached out to Mitch yet? 16:25:07 not I 16:25:29 nope 16:26:14 I will do it now... 16:26:36 #action billf will email Mitchell Amiano regarding the July room booking 16:26:51 #topic Speaker for August (Aaron Joyner moving to October ?) 16:27:37 mostly just making sure I can acquire the write lock on scheduling for october. 16:27:53 I think that's the relatively easy part 16:28:07 the harder part is getting an August speaker 16:28:24 true, although I think a separate issue. 16:29:29 so given that he is no longer available for August, are there any objections to giving him October? 16:29:50 Didn't we already have an october speaker lined up? 16:29:51 no objections from me 16:30:01 there's not one on the wiki. 16:30:02 When is tiemann speaking? 16:30:05 sept 16:30:13 oh yeah. i forgot about that month 16:30:16 heh 16:30:32 so... do we agree on October? 16:30:37 i'm ok with it 16:30:39 yeah, he can have October 16:30:49 ok, done. I'll confirm it with him now. 16:30:59 #agreed Aaron Joyner talk to be moved to October 16:31:01 we were considering Keith Bergelt with OIN for October or November 16:31:11 he can have November 16:31:19 and I will offer him August now that it's open 16:32:28 excellent 16:32:41 any other ideas for August, or should we punt for now? 16:33:24 no specific ideas here. 16:33:47 #topic Speaker for September (Michael Tiemann ?) 16:34:14 any open issues with this topic? 16:34:15 mhrivnak: your wrangling this one as well :-) 16:34:19 indeed. 16:34:29 do we have a stub on the website? 16:34:32 we need to get a topic and synopis at some point 16:34:52 I told him last week that we'd need a synopsis and bio in about a month. 16:34:53 no stub, we kinda need a topic first 16:35:31 I'll be in touch with him in about 3 weeks as a reminder. 16:36:13 cool; anything else?? 16:36:38 I have updated the SC wiki for meetings 16:36:48 mhrivnak: can we get synopsis and bio sooner than that? 16:36:58 mhrivnak: helps with promotions 16:37:10 even a stub is good 16:37:20 justis, how much sooner do we want? I'm not sure I've ever seen a meeting promoted more than 1 month in advance. Although to be fair, I haven't looked that hard. 16:37:53 I figured aiming for about 6 weeks in advance was pretty good. 16:39:27 mhrivnak: we have never done it, but only because we rarely know our speaker that far in advance 16:39:35 mhrivnak: and big names deserve more promotion 16:39:45 at the least, getting it on the website is good 16:39:59 and maybe a short "save the date" email to trilug@trilug.org 16:40:50 #topic General Business 16:40:54 Ok. I'll get in touch with him in 2-3 weeks and see what we can do. I don't want to push him too hard right now. 16:41:30 we need to get on jeremy about posting that recording. :/ 16:41:44 ah yes. 16:42:08 jeremy said something had to be edited out ?> 16:42:15 any idea what ? 16:42:34 I have a 5Mbps upload pipe at work if that helps 16:44:19 can we close out in 3 minutes? 16:44:23 what do we have left? 16:44:31 about 1 minute 16:45:06 I have no new business to introduce 16:45:09 anybody else? 16:45:17 nope 16:45:17 #endmeeting
