I haven't checked my mail yet, but when I do I'll let you know how the check looks 17:43:41 <mhrivnak> no prob, it happens. I would suggest that we may have been more effective if you'd just "tapped out" early on so we'd know to let you work. 17:43:57 <IsharaComix> in the future i'd like to get someone to help me with cleanup 17:44:10 <mhrivnak> I for one didn't realize you had other things going on and would have happily left you alone if I'd known. :) 17:44:49 <mhrivnak> IsharaComix, when did cleanup take place? 17:45:14 <IsharaComix> i left the meeting right after community announcements to clean up the lobby. took about 10-15 mins 17:45:32 <coxn> IsharaComix: I'm sorry. :( 17:45:34 <IsharaComix> it's ok 17:45:46 <IsharaComix> i didn't think to ask for help during the socialization, and I wasn't gonna interrupt the meeting 17:45:59 <mhrivnak> gotcha. I encourage you to voluntell others on the SC in that scenario. 17:46:16 <IsharaComix> i just want to make sure cleanup is on people's minds, since i don't want to leave food in the lobby unattended since housekeeping will tattle on us 17:46:53 <mhrivnak> ok, good to know. I'll try to keep that on the brain next month. 17:47:07 <coxn> anything else on the Percona meeting? 17:47:08 <justis> we should recruit some regulars from the LUG to take that on 17:47:15 <coxn> I know billf wants streaming video 17:47:18 <IsharaComix> overall though we did good. only two pizzas and one soda left over 17:47:26 <mhrivnak> good presentation. 17:47:57 <justis> perhaps we could use cleanup as the cue that people should migrate to the meeting room 17:48:17 <justis> I was interested to see what a mix of developers, sysadmins, and DBAs showed up for the talk 17:48:34 <justis> there was at least a significant number of hands for all 3 categories 17:48:47 <IsharaComix> justis, good idea! 17:49:13 <coxn> agreed 17:49:33 <coxn> let's direct other January thoughts to the mailing list 17:49:38 <coxn> and move on 17:49:43 <justis> ok 17:49:44 <mhrivnak> agreed 17:49:56 <coxn> #topic Meeting 13 February 17:50:02 <justis> I'm done driving, btw 17:50:24 <justis> glad to see we got the announcement for this together before the January meeting :) 17:50:32 <coxn> indeed! 17:50:34 <IsharaComix> :D 17:50:44 <coxn> anything need doing on the February meeting this week? 17:50:51 <mhrivnak> wiki needs to be updated. 17:51:04 <mhrivnak> with who is handling and whether speaker is confirmed. 17:51:04 <coxn> volunteers for doing the updating? 17:51:12 <coxn> speaker is confirmed 17:51:21 <mhrivnak> who is the handler? 17:51:27 <mhrivnak> I'll update the wiki now. 17:51:36 <coxn> I've been the main point of contact, and I can continue to do that 17:51:52 <coxn> what about promoting to other groups? 17:51:54 <justis> coxn: tell us if you get busy with work ;) 17:51:59 <mhrivnak> done 17:52:00 <coxn> justis: will do. :) 17:52:06 <justis> TriPython will definitely care 17:52:13 <justis> as will NCSA 17:52:27 <justis> perhaps the DevOps meetup 17:52:36 <justis> tho I think they already had a meeting about ansible? 17:52:47 <coxn> good call on all three.
