I need to get them out earlier 16:16:42 #topic Meeting 10 October 16:16:52 ahah. I see it now. Thanks 16:16:59 anyone know when mhrivnak get's back ? 16:17:25 I do not 16:18:04 I am not seeing a date in messages he sent to the list, but that might be a search fail on my part 16:18:19 also, I have a conflict for the date of the October meeting 16:18:24 Gail from Peak10 said: "Who do we make the check payable to? I will also need W-9, address and contact info so I can get a check request done." 16:18:24 D: 16:19:07 I referred this to mhrivnak but I don't know if he followed up or not 16:19:37 I'm guessing that the W-9 form is an IRS form and we don't have one ? 16:20:42 A W9 is a request for our EIN 16:21:04 looking at it now. do we have an IRS Taxpayer identification number ? 16:21:21 billf: yeah that's our EIN 16:21:38 We can print our own copy of W9 16:21:43 we have one but as still haven't completed paperwork to be in good standing 16:21:49 (or have we?) 16:22:17 the wiki says Federal EIN status re-instated in May 2011 16:22:24 cool 16:22:28 well then I'm wrong 16:22:47 so we have a EIN but not 501(c)3 16:22:54 that would seem to be correct 16:22:56 correct 16:23:11 what should I do ? send Peak10 a W-9 with our EIN listed on the wiki ? 16:23:34 I believe that we should be up front about the fact that we cannot call ourselves 501(c)3 yet 16:23:41 but that we should use that EIN, yes 16:23:53 I think we have been up front about that, but it bears repeating 16:24:03 agreed, send the W9 16:24:04 but mhrivnak is the person to answer that question since he is the treasurer 16:24:15 they probably just want it to list on forms specifying that they paid money to us 16:24:19 * coxn nods 16:24:25 should we move on to the next topic? 16:24:47 so the action is ? refer to mhrivnak when he gets back ? 16:25:13 I think so, yes 16:25:16 or just send them one; it takes 90 seconds to fill out 16:25:28 if I knew when mhrivnak was getting back, I'd say give it to him 16:25:39 and/or email Peak10 to say when he'll be back and that he'll get to it 16:25:47 but it's really a trivial form 16:26:10 you can accomplish the same thing by emailing them our EIN, but it's not something that should get copied around in email 16:26:14 do you know who they should make the check payable to ? 16:26:31 whatever name is on our bank account 16:26:34 I don't remember. Alan or Jeff would know. 16:27:02 I think we should table this stuff and that our action item is confirming with mhrivnak. 16:27:10 and we should get through the rest of our agenda 16:27:15 agreed 16:27:42 #action Peak10 sponsorship will be tabled until mhrivnak returns 16:28:05 #topic Meeting 14 November 16:28:56 I need to follow up with Jeff about Beaglebone Black. I'm wondering if we should ask for someone else to join the talk 16:29:06 We should get someone else, yes 16:29:16 It would significantly increase Jeff's comfort and willingness 16:29:53 #action billf will post to the list asking if someone would like to share a talk about BBB or similar boards 16:29:58 I tried to ping him on IM right now, but he's in a meeting 16:30:12 Jeff has colleagues at NCSU that know it 16:30:19 and TriEmbed might send us someone good 16:30:27 it'd help build their attendance, which is already surging 16:30:30 I will ask jeff first about it 16:30:35 and they also meet at NCSU 16:30:37 cool 16:30:54 I'm definitely interested in the topic 16:31:08 #action billf will consult with jeff, and then triembed as well as trilug 16:31:15 #topic Infrastructure Development 16:31:15 :D 16:31:36 so we met up on Sunday 16:31:38 anyone go on Sunday ? 16:31:56 Yes. There were several of us 16:32:03 I should ask for a writeup of what we did 16:32:28 we tackled getting several people into RT, getting the root password copied to some backup admins, and getting LDAP/sudo sorted out on the two new boxes 16:32:56 so that's all I've got 16:33:11 are they documenting this as a procedure ? 16:33:16 I should definitely ask for a more detailed writeup 16:33:25 in the RT instance so far, yes 16:33:29 I'm just wondering how we will manage it going forward ? 16:33:35 ok 16:33:53 #action coxn to ask for a summary of the work done on Sunday and ensure good systems documentation in the wiki. 16:34:17 were all those failed sudo attempts from jackhill legit? 16:34:23 yeah 16:34:27 that was us sorting out sudo 16:34:28 and where are we going ? what's next with infrastructure dev ? 16:34:47 we need to have a policy decision on who should have sudo at a lower level on the new machines 16:34:53 ie. create a new sudo group 16:35:03 such that people in that group would have sudo on the new machines but not on pilot 16:35:15 I think that's a conversation that should probably be its own agenda item 16:35:24 and should probably happen another day or in person 16:35:45 okay that's all I've got. Any other questions? 16:36:17 #topic 501(c)3 Application 16:36:55 Alan has requested being kept on the SC ML. All in favour ? 16:37:00 sadly I think we need mhrivnak and/or alpo here again 16:37:11 ++ 16:37:11 +1 for keeping Alan on the list 16:37:15 I'm certain in favor 16:37:20 ++ 16:37:21 Alan is a great asset 16:37:26 "SC emeritus" 16:37:26 passed 16:37:34 if he's willing to help, no reason in telling him no. :P 16:37:44 #action billf will add Alan back onto the SC ML to keep him in the list 16:38:52 I would like to have it as a standard action to remove/cleanup past SC members after the changeover unless there is a specific exemption. happy to be overruled too 16:39:11 I think that's a sane policy 16:39:16 remove by default 16:39:18 Perhaps in July, rather than May 16:39:22 people can be added back by request 16:39:27 for transition duties 16:39:31 @justis++ 16:39:35 @billf++ 16:39:42 yes, after a changeover period 16:39:51 #topic General Business 16:39:52 i like the idea 16:40:08 anything else or are we done early ? 16:40:22 IsharaComix: did you want to move the irc meeting time/day ? 16:40:25 going to secure the room for next month asap 16:40:26 So, the most enthusiastic visitor to come through the geekSPARK Digital Motion Showcase was Bonner Gaylord, city council member 16:40:29 billf yes. 16:40:40 this time conflicts with a daily meeting 16:40:43 I talked to him about TriLUG, including many other things 16:40:50 if we could just push it back 15 minutes, that would be great 16:40:59 12:30-13:00? 16:41:05 that would be fine with me 16:41:15 justis, yes 16:41:33 I can do that 16:41:46 let's try it next week and see if mhrivnak has a problem, if he is back yet 16:41:55 thx 16:42:11 Bonner was the councillor who originally proposed the legislation that requires Raleigh to consider open source solutions during software procurement 16:42:21 justis: that's great about Gaylord 16:42:34 I think he was also responsible for hiring Jason Hare, the guy who leads Raleigh's open data portal 16:43:00 so, Bonner thinks he has a number of volunteer opportunities which are FOSS oriented 16:43:17 and we're going to talk about facilitating TriLUG volunteers for that 16:43:32 maybe we can run a workshop or two 16:43:36 re my goal for this SC term of increasing volunteer opportunities 16:43:48 yeah, that'd be the right kind of idea :) 16:43:55 folks I need to step out. I have a phone call 16:43:56 thank you all 16:44:00 ciao 16:44:01 coxn: have a great day! 16:44:38 ok, let's call it a day then 16:44:50 ok, great 16:44:55 thanks, billf! 16:44:59 #endmeeting
