I think we're good. :) 16:43:32 <IsharaComix> #topic September meeting 16:43:41 <IsharaComix> I saw billf mail the oracle fellow 16:43:44 <billf> ahh, that could be a problem 16:44:01 <jackhill> Wait, Oracle guy was Oct. 16:44:09 <IsharaComix> ah, i see that now 16:44:09 <jackhill> Sept was maybe mhrivnak finding someone 16:44:10 <billf> did you see the response from David Stokes ? 16:44:27 <mhrivnak> yep. I have inquiries out, followed up this morning, and hope to have info by end of the day. 16:44:31 <IsharaComix> looking now. he'd want to push it back a week 16:44:33 <billf> he wanted a date around the ATO conference 16:44:56 <billf> no, two weeks 16:45:07 <IsharaComix> Ah, OK. 16:45:26 <IsharaComix> Hmm, I want to talk about this - do we want to do it now or defer it to later? 16:45:28 <jackhill> I don't think we should skip our regular meeting for David 16:45:38 <jackhill> Perhaps do a special meeting in Durham with DLUG? 16:45:48 <billf> I don't think this aligns with our meeting schedule at all 16:45:50 <mhrivnak> I agree that we should not change the regular meeting date. 16:45:54 <whippythellama> #agreed 16:45:56 <IsharaComix> I was thinking a special meeting would be cool so that we could get some ATO cross traffic 16:46:09 <IsharaComix> so have the regular meeting and then a special meeting. 16:46:26 <IsharaComix> (or maybe NCSULUG could steal him. :D) 16:46:41 <billf> nce idea 16:46:42 <whippythellama> maybe lightning talks for october, if we want to go the "special meeting" route? 16:47:11 <IsharaComix> I would not be opposed to that, but it might be short notice to get talks drummed up. 16:47:19 <jackhill> lightning talks++ 16:47:30 <whippythellama> i'm open to other ideas 16:47:30 <mhrivnak> I think 2 months is enough time. 16:47:34 <jackhill> 2 months seems like plenty of time. 16:47:42 <IsharaComix> OK, but that needs to be on the agenda for meeting next week. 16:47:51 <jackhill> noted! 16:47:58 <IsharaComix> I'll include that in my new member ambassadoring. 16:48:12 <IsharaComix> So september is almost booked. 16:48:13 <whippythellama> should we find out if david would be open to speaking at our regular meeting? 16:48:15 <jackhill> #jackhill draft lightning talk email and include in Aug intro 16:48:37 <IsharaComix> We'll ask david if he's open to regular time or we'll do lightning talks + special meetings 16:48:50 <jackhill> anyways, have to go. See y'all later. 16:48:59 <IsharaComix> billf: thought on whippythellama's idea? 16:48:59 <whippythellama> ok; we'll need to find that out quick 16:49:48 <billf> I can ask. should I also bring up ncsulug or dlug as an option ? 16:50:49 <IsharaComix> I think you should. 16:51:09 <whippythellama> yeah, may as well lay out the options 16:51:59 <IsharaComix> If david doesn't want to meet at our time, that is lightning talk month 16:52:06 <IsharaComix> November is set? 16:52:27 <mhrivnak> Nov is financial bookkeeping. 16:52:33 <IsharaComix> awesome. 16:52:41 <whippythellama> we have high confidence on that? 16:53:48 <billf> not high confidence 16:54:25 <IsharaComix> last email i see was bill stating november, but no follow up from eric 16:54:45 <whippythellama> high enough to table it until we have a chance to talk to jtate at the meeting, maybe? 16:54:51 <IsharaComix> yes 16:55:13 <IsharaComix> all right we're almost at time 16:55:20 <IsharaComix> #topic General Business 16:55:30 <IsharaComix> bring up final topics or state nothing to discuss. 16:55:44 <whippythellama> nothing to discuss 16:55:51 <IsharaComix> billf: I found those notes on prices for banners. i can look in further if we're interested 16:55:59 <mhrivnak> nothing to discuss 16:56:01 <billf> that was a great start 16:56:16 <IsharaComix> what do we want to budget for the banners? 16:56:20 <whippythellama> yeah, thanks for that IsharaComix 16:56:26 <billf> approx $300 16:56:27 <IsharaComix> and who gets to ferry them around? :) 16:56:40 <whippythellama> it can live with The Box™ 16:56:49 <whippythellama> potentially 16:56:50 <billf> the PR person probably should look after it 16:56:56 <whippythellama> better idea 16:57:12 <billf> the box may vaporise soon 16:57:22 <IsharaComix> All right. that's all i wanted to bring up. We need to get a design done though 16:57:28 <billf> the new member person might not need the box anymore 16:57:39 <IsharaComix> so maybe we bring up a call for designs at the meeting 16:57:44 <IsharaComix> other than that, I'm good 16:58:01 <whippythellama> okay, well bear in mind it lives in my house right now - if anything in my house is vaporizing, i'd like to know ahead of time, k? 16:58:16 <whippythellama> +1 on the design 16:58:19 <billf> #action jackhill will ask the members for graphic design help for a trilug banner 16:58:24 <IsharaComix> OK everyone. Sorry for being so scattered lately. 16:58:46 <IsharaComix> #endmeeting
