12:20 <@jackhill> IsharaComix: there's no Tribot today. I can post a transcript later.
12:20 <@IsharaComix> *grumble grumble*
12:26 <@jackhill> I've just asked alpo if he can grant me privledges on #trilug so I can fix the topic in the absense of Tribot
12:28 <@billf> here
12:29 <@IsharaComix> mhrivnak?
12:30 <@IsharaComix> whippythellama?
12:31 <@whippythellama> here, sorry
12:31 <@IsharaComix> :)
12:31 <@IsharaComix> Let's go ahead and get started. We can backtrack if we need to
12:31 <@whippythellama> cool
12:31 <@IsharaComix> 1. Task tracker for SC responsibilities
12:31 <@IsharaComix> Bill raised this idea in his email and I think it's a good one.
12:31 <@billf> i would prefer this to be a trilug.org service
12:32 <@IsharaComix> Is there anything lightweight to install?
12:32 <@billf> track jobs, deadlines, assigned people
12:32 <@billf> jackhill: what was rt like ?
12:32 <@jackhill> Simple Defects?
12:32 <@IsharaComix> As long as managing the task list is no more difficult than doing the tasks we use it for. :)
12:32 <@whippythellama> +1
12:33 <@jackhill> I like rt.
12:33 <@IsharaComix> is pilot debian?
12:33 <@jackhill> Ubuntu
12:34 <@IsharaComix> cool. looks like there's already a package of simple defects
12:34 <@IsharaComix> what's RT?
12:34 <@jackhill> http://bestpractical.com/rt/
12:34 <@jackhill> Simple Defects is http://syncwith.us/sd/
12:35 <@IsharaComix> I'm easy to get along with.
12:35 <@jackhill> Great, shall we just go with RT and switch later if we don't like it?
12:36 <@IsharaComix> Works for me. What kind of time window before we can access it on steering.trilug.org?
12:36 <@jackhill> At least until after the weekend. I would like to work with mhrivnak to set it up since he did it last time
12:37 <@IsharaComix> OK. Do we want to make jackhill and mhrivnak point for getting this online?
12:37 <@billf> do you need to the old hdd ?
12:38 <@jackhill> billf: I don't know. mhrivnak would know better if there was any special knowledge there. It couldn't hurt.
12:40 <@IsharaComix> All right, let's move on. I'm looking forward to a task tracker. :)
12:40 <@IsharaComix> 2. Lightning Talks post-mortem
12:40 <@IsharaComix> It looks like the room change didn't hurt anything
12:41 <@jackhill> The responses I've heard have been positive.
12:41 <@billf> attendance was down
12:41 <@whippythellama> no, i rather preferred the new room, actually
12:41 <@jackhill> money collection was also down
12:41 <@IsharaComix> We're guaranteed that room again in November. I'll see if I can get it through college of engineering in October.
12:41 <@IsharaComix> There wasn't an announcement about donations during pizza last week
12:41 <@whippythellama> i think it
12:41 <@whippythellama> meh
12:41 <@whippythellama> i think it's a smaller room, tho
12:42 <@IsharaComix> billf: how'd video turn out?
12:42 <@IsharaComix> I completely forgot to check on the AV that day
12:42 <@billf> slides were fuzzy, but otherwise OK
12:43 <@whippythellama> IsharaComix - the lack of announcements was on me - first time m.c.
12:43 <@jackhill> did the "contact lens" help
12:43 <@billf> I like the new room too. the speaker is able to project their voice without using a mic
12:43 <@billf> jackhill: I thought I had it focused, and then turned off the auto-focus. my bad
12:43 <@billf> whippythellama's webcam was excellent
12:44 <@IsharaComix> :)
12:44 <@IsharaComix> Any other concerns?
12:44 <@whippythellama> billf: i almost always have that on me - we can use it from now on if you like
12:44 <@IsharaComix> It was much easier to dispose of trash since the trash can was right there in the lobby.
12:44 <@IsharaComix> Oh, who got the box?
12:44 <@whippythellama> i would say the m.c. should be the one to make the slides
12:45 <@billf> whippythellama: what model was it ?
12:45 <@whippythellama> it's harder to go smoothly off of slides that someone else has prepared
12:45 <@whippythellama> billf: checking...
12:45 <@jackhill> I have the box
12:45 <@jackhill> whippythellama: sorry!
12:45 <@IsharaComix> jackhill: can you follow up with the messed up new user registration?
12:45 <@whippythellama> jackhill - totally NOT your fault
12:46 <@whippythellama> they could have been prepared by *ANYONE* and it would have been the same
12:46 <@jackhill> IsharaComix: I can. Can you send me mail with more details? (are these the people who's email was wrong?)
12:46 <@IsharaComix> jackhill: sure thing. after the meeting i'll give you more details
12:46 <@whippythellama> the slides were fine - but b/c i didn't prepare them, it felt a little "stuttery"
12:47 <@whippythellama> so good job on the slides, jackhill - and thank you for getting them ready for me :)
12:47 <@whippythellama> for me, at least, it just would have been easier to go off of slides i had prepared myself, that's all
12:47 <@IsharaComix> All righty - we should move on.
12:48 <@IsharaComix> 3. trilug.org upgrade day
12:48 <@IsharaComix> Perhaps we should just pick a weekend to get together in person and upgrade things on pilot that need to be upgraded.
12:48 <@IsharaComix> drupal, new web pages, fixing bite-size bugs that need to be fixed to make it easier to get work done
12:48 <@jackhill> sounds good
12:49 <@whippythellama> do we want to have a hack day for it?
12:49 <@whippythellama> invite the members to come help?
12:49 <@whippythellama> or SC-only?
12:49 <@billf> open it up, get some help
12:49 <@IsharaComix> I would invite the members, but I think we should make sure we treat it with the same attitude we treat our SC meetings.
12:49 <@billf> not many will come anyway
12:50 <@billf> it's a great way for people to start to contribute and maybe run for SC in the future
12:50 <@IsharaComix> billf ++
12:50 <@IsharaComix> is this something we want to arrange sooner rather than later?
12:50 <@IsharaComix> because before you know it, it's time for the october meeting
12:51 <@whippythellama> how soon do we need to do the upgrades in question?
12:51 <@whippythellama> if it's not too soon, we could announce it at the october meeting
12:51 <@IsharaComix> Weve been talking about these upgrades for almost a year
12:51 <@whippythellama> if so, out of band
12:51 <@whippythellama> lol
12:51 <@billf> do it sooner
12:52 <@IsharaComix> I'll prepare a doodle poll and we'll see what kinds of days work for folks.
12:52 <@billf> it does not need to be a physical meeting
12:52 <@IsharaComix> I'd prefer it, but it's not necessary, no.
12:52 <@whippythellama> agreed, IsharaComix
12:53 <@IsharaComix> But I do want us all at least on a hangout or something so we can talk when errors come up
12:53 <@billf> a google hangout session with IRC would work
12:53 <@whippythellama> yeah, that would be good
12:53 <@IsharaComix> All right. I'll start planning this one.
12:53 <@IsharaComix> 4. On-topic mailing list
12:54 <@IsharaComix> We need to go ahead and write our "eviction notice" and see if that causes any grief.
12:54 <@billf> http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/
12:56 <@IsharaComix> Is anyone available to take point on this?
12:56 <@billf> The linux-ham list has regular posts, and I don't think this would confuse anyone
12:57 <@whippythellama> IsharaComix - i can take point
12:57 <@IsharaComix> Cool. Draft up a notice, we'll send it to on-topic, give them a week to raise any objections
12:57 <@whippythellama> just an email to the list indicating that we're planning on removing it, right?
12:57 <@whippythellama> sounds like a plan
12:57 <@IsharaComix> 6. Trilug Banners
12:58  * whippythellama . o O ( 6? )
12:58 <@IsharaComix> On the agenda last week, I included an openoffice presentation scaled to the dimensions of the banner.
12:58 <@IsharaComix> (i'm counting by hand.  :P)
12:58 <@whippythellama> lol
12:59 <@IsharaComix> as I've said, my preferred way of getting the banners done is to solicit designs in that format so we can scale them as necessary for the dimensions of the vendor we decide to work with
12:59 <@whippythellama> we need to add that to the october slides
12:59 <@billf> hahah
12:59 <@whippythellama> the call for designs, that is  :)
13:00 <@billf> I found my original email to the ontopic ML about closing it. It was meant to be closed on May 20013
13:00 <@IsharaComix> haha. :D
13:00 <@IsharaComix> so they've had a year to move out
13:00 <@billf> IsharaComix: your attachment was stipped
13:00 <@IsharaComix> Blarg.
13:00 <@billf> stripped
13:00 <@IsharaComix> I'll upload it to my server then and share a link
13:01 <@IsharaComix> We're at time. Any last minute concerns
13:01 <@jackhill> Tribot needs fixing
13:02 <@jackhill> The plan is to get a minimal bot configuration working with the code that is in development and then port the existing config
13:02 <@whippythellama> we seem to be running over time the past few mtgs - we may want to do another f2f to discuss $things
13:02 <@whippythellama> +1 jackhill
13:03 <@IsharaComix> anything billf that you want to raise that wasn't included in your email this AM?
13:03 <@mhrivnak> hey guys, sorry to miss the meeting.
13:03 <@billf> whippythellama: I have emailed ontopic about closing it
13:03 <@mhrivnak> I'm at our office in MA and got caught up in a series of meetings.
13:03 <@whippythellama> thanks, billf  - just saw that  :)
13:04 <@IsharaComix> mhrivnak: no worries
13:04 <@IsharaComix> no tribot today, so can you read backlog?
13:04 <@mhrivnak> yep, no prob.
13:04 <@jackhill> Okay, I'm heading out, see y'all!
13:04 <@whippythellama> k, gotta dash folks - chat with ya soon
