I haven't checked my mail yet, but when I do I'll let you know how the check looks 17:43:41 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 in the future i'd like to get someone to help me with cleanup 17:44:10 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 IsharaComix, when did cleanup take place? 17:45:14 i left the meeting right after community announcements to clean up the lobby. took about 10-15 mins 17:45:32 IsharaComix: I'm sorry. :( 17:45:34 it's ok 17:45:46 i didn't think to ask for help during the socialization, and I wasn't gonna interrupt the meeting 17:45:59 gotcha. I encourage you to voluntell others on the SC in that scenario. 17:46:16 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 ok, good to know. I'll try to keep that on the brain next month. 17:47:07 anything else on the Percona meeting? 17:47:08 we should recruit some regulars from the LUG to take that on 17:47:15 I know billf wants streaming video 17:47:18 overall though we did good. only two pizzas and one soda left over 17:47:26 good presentation. 17:47:57 perhaps we could use cleanup as the cue that people should migrate to the meeting room 17:48:17 I was interested to see what a mix of developers, sysadmins, and DBAs showed up for the talk 17:48:34 there was at least a significant number of hands for all 3 categories 17:48:47 justis, good idea! 17:49:13 agreed 17:49:33 let's direct other January thoughts to the mailing list 17:49:38 and move on 17:49:43 ok 17:49:44 agreed 17:49:56 #topic Meeting 13 February 17:50:02 I'm done driving, btw 17:50:24 glad to see we got the announcement for this together before the January meeting :) 17:50:32 indeed! 17:50:34 :D 17:50:44 anything need doing on the February meeting this week? 17:50:51 wiki needs to be updated. 17:51:04 with who is handling and whether speaker is confirmed. 17:51:04 volunteers for doing the updating? 17:51:12 speaker is confirmed 17:51:21 who is the handler? 17:51:27 I'll update the wiki now. 17:51:36 I've been the main point of contact, and I can continue to do that 17:51:52 what about promoting to other groups? 17:51:54 coxn: tell us if you get busy with work ;) 17:51:59 done 17:52:00 justis: will do. :) 17:52:06 TriPython will definitely care 17:52:13 as will NCSA 17:52:27 perhaps the DevOps meetup 17:52:36 tho I think they already had a meeting about ansible? 17:52:47 good call on all three.
