Has that been bumped to a future meeting? 16:46:34 <mhrivnak> Or should I just remove it from the wiki for now? 16:46:37 <IsharaComix> i think we should cancel that out since the speaker wanted to do something off calendar 16:46:44 <mhrivnak> done. 16:47:01 <whippythellama> that was to be the "special event", i believe? 16:47:16 <billf> remove 16:47:31 <IsharaComix> ncsulug doesn't want to be involved with it. we filled out calendar the other week. 16:47:37 <billf> he has not gotten back to me with the dates 16:47:42 <IsharaComix> then delete. 16:48:04 <whippythellama> yep - we can reschedule if he resurfaces 16:48:16 <whippythellama> anything else on october? 16:48:39 <IsharaComix> not from me 16:48:42 <jackhill> no 16:48:51 <whippythellama> #topic Hardware Disposal 16:49:15 <whippythellama> what's the current status on this? 16:50:03 <billf> it's on my desk, got to go. 16:50:07 <IsharaComix> bye~ 16:50:15 <whippythellama> l8r 16:50:28 <billf> no, the hw has to go 16:50:33 <whippythellama> lol 16:50:38 <IsharaComix> oh 16:50:40 <IsharaComix> sorry! 16:51:11 <billf> I have the 2x 1TB drives extracted. so now we have the old servers which need wiping 16:52:10 <whippythellama> can we just extract the drives from those and call it done? 16:52:25 <billf> we just need to decide on their fate, and schedule tasks 16:53:27 <whippythellama> i'd say the easiest route is probably just pulling their drives and bringing the servers to a meeting 16:53:47 <whippythellama> door prize / raffle 16:54:00 <billf> someone is more likely to take it if they have drives in them 16:54:31 <billf> wipe the drives, then give it away ? 16:54:37 <whippythellama> sure - that sounds dandy 16:54:43 <whippythellama> september meeting? 16:55:07 <whippythellama> we could give them to the "two top lightning talks" or some such - vote by applause or the like 16:55:27 <jackhill> some people may not want them 16:55:27 <IsharaComix> That's a cool idea. Thank the community for stepping up. :) 16:55:38 <whippythellama> or just an old fashioned name-in-a-bucket drawing 16:55:45 <mhrivnak> Are we saying they don't have enough monetary value to worry about? 16:55:51 <billf> people should opt in 16:56:03 <whippythellama> i'm saying we've been kicking these things around for months :) 16:56:40 <whippythellama> if we want money for them, we could set a price and mail the list - first come, first served 16:56:57 <whippythellama> either way, we should target the september meeting to be rid of them 16:57:37 <whippythellama> october at the latest if there's not enough time to reliably wipe the drives before then 16:57:56 <mhrivnak> We have to consider that the IRS might take interest in us giving away assets, and what our justification is for doing so. :) 16:58:06 <mhrivnak> If we can justify it, that's fine. 16:58:13 <mhrivnak> but we just need to think about that before giving stuff away. 16:58:30 <billf> mhrivnak: I have updated the MeetingStatistics page, could you add in the financial details when you get time 16:58:44 <whippythellama> good point - i have little experience in the whole non-profit <-> IRS thing 16:58:48 <mhrivnak> Justifications could include "its value is negligible" or "giving it away furthered our cause" 16:59:07 <billf> depreaciated to zero dollars 16:59:13 <mhrivnak> billf, I am happy to, but I don't yet know all of the details. 16:59:19 <billf> sure, sure 16:59:20 <whippythellama> 1-minute warning, by the way 16:59:29 <whippythellama> i'm not time-boxed today, but i don't know about the rest of you 16:59:35 <mhrivnak> ah, crap. I have a meeting in 1min. 16:59:41 <billf> I have work to do 16:59:46 <IsharaComix> The next two items are me 16:59:54 <IsharaComix> I can say them both quick 17:00:05 <billf> a published agenda and decision points would help speed things up 17:00:07 <mhrivnak> to billf's point, I need to know how much was donated last month, and I need reimbursement info for drinks. 17:00:11 <whippythellama> +1, billf 17:00:35 <IsharaComix> New Members: I want to start processing membership at the meetings. I will process the forms I have this weekend. 17:00:36 <mhrivnak> Apologies if that's already been emailed. 17:01:13 <IsharaComix> banner template: I'll go ahead and make a open document presentation with the right dimensions and give it to the steering list 17:01:41 <whippythellama> IsharaComix - will you have time next week to come up with an agenda? if not, i can take that action 17:02:13 <IsharaComix> Yeah, I can get back on the ball about that. 17:02:23 <whippythellama> no worries, life happens 17:02:57 <whippythellama> k, we're now two minutes over - any further discussion we should move to the steering list 17:04:07 <whippythellama> #endmeeting
