I'm not opposed to lightning talks, but we need to be aggressive at recruiting talkers! 16:42:30 agreed 16:42:34 +1 16:42:39 yep. do we need a webpage and signup form ? 16:42:52 did we have one the last time? 16:42:57 (do we remember?) 16:43:03 Even if we didn't that would be a good idea. 16:43:30 So I think we'll go with it. What will be the parameters? 16:43:39 5 mins each for an hour? 16:43:45 5-10 mins each? 16:45:11 billf, IsharaComix - do either of you remember how many folks signed up last time? if any weren't able to because of demand, etc? 16:45:12 start with 5 min and see 16:45:26 it's on the website... 16:45:55 5 mins each for an hour means we have to find 12 speakers in the next month, is my only concern 16:45:57 http://www.trilug.org/2013-07-11/lightning-talks 16:46:09 oh, my math was broken. :) 16:46:27 thanks for the url! 16:46:29 I thought it would be 6 people. Because 6*5=60 minutes. :) 16:46:38 we ran way over time last time 16:46:46 lol 16:46:51 I missed that meeting. 16:47:13 If we say 5-10 minutes we should be good if we get 8 people. 16:47:21 i think so 16:47:25 I'll put a presentation together as a backup in case we have too few 16:47:34 ok, make it 5-10min and be strict at cutting people off 16:47:37 Justis has wanted me to present at Trilug for three years and I still havent. :) 16:48:04 +1 billf 16:48:11 Can we have a sign-up form ready by tomorrow? 16:48:12 and +1 IsharaComix :) 16:48:18 I will create a form now 16:48:23 (if we have too few people, give more time for questions) 16:48:48 jackhill: keep an eye out for the link and include the call for speakers at the beginning and end of tomorrow's prezo 16:48:57 IsharaComix: roger 16:49:23 As soon as I have the website ready I will publish it, ok ? 16:49:36 billf: thank you! 16:49:36 sounds good to me 16:49:43 =1 16:49:43 So how do we want to deal with mysql talk? Special meeting? Give him to NCSULUG or Durham Lug? 16:49:54 jackhill: you just reset his karma! 16:50:05 lol 16:50:16 I'm waiting for David to tell me his availability. then we give it to ncsulug 16:50:17 =10^100 16:50:37 IsharaComix: can you ask ncsulug to host it ? 16:50:43 billf: Certainly! 16:50:53 I'll include the possibility at our planning meeting next week 16:50:54 does ncsulug need it to be on a particular night ? 16:51:04 if so, we need to let David know. 16:51:05 We usually meet on Tuesdays, but it's easy to adjust 16:51:19 Tuesday is preferred 16:51:35 Once that's locked down, the year is set and we can prepare for 2015 16:51:55 #topic All Things Open 16:52:06 billf: do you have anything you want to say on this front? 16:52:31 I've lost it :-) 16:53:08 I have not done anything about this, sorry 16:53:12 That's OK. 16:53:31 Whether or not we have a presence, I still like the idea of a standing sign. 16:53:43 #agreed 16:54:19 Once we get the card situation cleared up, we can purchase one. 16:54:33 Speaking of which, we should pick up the card from Alan tomorrow 16:55:03 Do we want to do a call for designs? 16:55:07 Yes! 16:55:21 I think I included the dimensions in the email I sent to the list 16:55:34 Should that be announced tomorrow as well? 16:55:39 is he bringing the card to the meeting, or does someone need to go get it from him? 16:55:40 but I thing we should ask for an open office presentation thats' 40 high by 30 wide? 16:55:45 whippythellama: i'm going to ask him 16:55:53 we should say what format the designs should be in 16:56:11 I think open office impress is odp? 16:56:52 what do the sign printers need ? 16:57:05 IIRC there is a special one for drawing too. I don't really care as long as it's a free format. While I think other formats would be acceptable (svg, pdf), I don't really do graphics, so I can't say 16:57:09 they'll want PDF, but I like the idea of being able to arrange and edit the finals 16:57:10 (the printers may want PDF) 16:57:24 Anyways, I have to run. 16:57:28 The odp lets us modify the "source code" if you will. :) 16:57:32 ciao 16:57:34 thanks 16:57:41 #topic general business 16:57:48 I did have one topic, and that is the Bash workshop will be Sept. 6th at Splat Space. 16:57:54 Thanks! 16:58:09 awesome - thanks, jackhill! 16:58:16 i was going to ask about that :) 16:58:21 IsharaComix: we should provide a blank odp document for people to edit 16:58:22 just make sureit's on tomorrow's slides 16:58:29 billf: with our penguin on it 16:58:50 I'll fix one up with the right dimensions and send it to the list after the meeting 16:58:58 jackhill: send me the details and I will post it to the website 16:59:25 All right.
