| coxn | aside: "ik" is a nick I'm familiar with in another context. Confusing! | 00:08 |
| BugeyeD | but someone else will have to tell me if i have to fill in for ik, because i'm ignoring him | 00:08 |
| internalkernel | internalkernel: | 00:08 |

| coxn | [TOPIC] Automated meeting reminders | 00:10 |
| Mootbot-UK | New Topic: Automated meeting reminders | 00:10 |
| internalkernel | yes, plain text ones too | 00:10 |
| coxn | there was discussion on the list of having automated reminders about these meetings | 00:10 |
| coxn | do we have a volunteer to implement that, and if so, what's the schedule/plan? | 00:11 |
| internalkernel | right now, I have a reminder to do it... that's about as far as I've gotten... | 00:11 |
| BugeyeD | i can try to cron something if nobody else gets around to it. | 00:12 |
| internalkernel | I think I can send it from my subscribed address through a cron job though... | 00:12 |
| coxn | "Dewey Hylton" volunteered on the list | 00:12 |
| BugeyeD | it'd be simple with python. or even shell if you use sendmail | 00:12 |
| coxn | pardon my ignorance, but is that one of you? | 00:12 |
| BugeyeD | just some jerk | 00:12 |
| BugeyeD | smee | 00:13 |
| internalkernel | Im ignoring both of them | 00:13 |
| coxn | okay! :P | 00:13 |
| BugeyeD | it's me | 00:13 |
| coxn | BugeyeD: do you want/need any help? | 00:13 |
| coxn | BugeyeD: also, would you document what you implement in the wiki? | 00:13 |
| BugeyeD | i can document, no prob. as for help, | 00:14 |
| coxn | who is a list admin? | 00:14 |
| _marx_ | i'm one | 00:14 |
| BugeyeD | let's try to decide on content. that'd help. | 00:14 |
| BugeyeD | then i could just automate squirting out the email. | 00:14 |
| _marx_ | BugeyeD: i'll send you my reminder template | 00:14 |
| coxn | BugeyeD: I think the date, time, and wiki links | 00:15 |
| BugeyeD | excellent | 00:15 |

| internalkernel | nope... been a long time since I set foot on a campus | 00:20 |
| _marx_ | nothing direct that i know of, there have been students floating through here | 00:20 |
| internalkernel | but I agree I would imagine there are some good folks there | 00:20 |
| coxn | any business in town that might be willing to host an in-person meeting? | 00:20 |
| _marx_ | at least a year ago | 00:20 |
| internalkernel | yeah we use firestorm cafe to host events | 00:20 |
| coxn | sounds good | 00:21 |
| internalkernel | it's always available... they have Ubuntu kiosks in there for customers | 00:21 |
| coxn | neat! | 00:21 |
| internalkernel | but we havent had anything planned... | 00:21 |
| internalkernel | lately anways | 00:21 |
| coxn | well, I suggest you reach out to the Uni... see if you can convince somebody on campus to host a campus mirror | 00:21 |
| coxn | even if they limit access, that'd be a good step | 00:22 |

| internalkernel | ... | 00:25 |
| coxn | internalkernel: if you scheduled a meeting, could you get them to run an announcement? | 00:25 |

| coxn | TriLUG is having an organizational meeting tomorrow night | 00:30 |
| coxn | I'm on the Steering Committee for that... full disclosure | 00:30 |
| coxn | we used to have 501(c)(3) status, but it lapsed. | 00:31 |
| internalkernel | cool | 00:31 |
| coxn | we'll be talking about re-incorporation, under what form, and associated costs, etc. | 00:31 |
| coxn | if folks committed to Ubuntu were to play a strong-ish role in that, I'd be happy about it | 00:32 |
| coxn | we've been meeting at Red Hat for years, and something to balance that a bit more strongly in terms of organization would be good | 00:32 |
| coxn | not that I have anything against Red Hat -- I don't | 00:33 |
| coxn | we should just make sure that it's not a Red Hat show. | 00:33 |
| _marx_ | location can be tough | 00:33 |
| coxn | okay... and the 9th is our December meeting, which will be at splatspace in durham | 00:33 |

| coxn | okay... that's everything I have for the schedule | 00:36 |
| coxn | anybody else have something to add? | 00:36 |
| coxn | another topic we should cover before we close things out? | 00:36 |
| _marx_ | lug news | 00:36 |
| coxn | [TOPIC] LUG News | 00:37 |
| Mootbot-UK | New Topic: LUG News | 00:37 |
| coxn | do tell | 00:37 |
| _marx_ | for Piedmont, Winston G'boro | 00:37 |
| _marx_ | long standing plug list has a troll that is also the founder | 00:37 |
| coxn | oof | 00:38 |
| BugeyeD | you have no idea | 00:38 |
| coxn | where is that list hosted? | 00:38 |
| BugeyeD | wfu | 00:38 |
| _marx_ | I'd like to try to get that small herd of cats to hold a real event | 00:39 |
| coxn | cottrell? | 00:39 |
| BugeyeD | yup | 00:39 |
| coxn | I'd suggest securing a meeting location that's not a bar | 00:39 |
| _marx_ | he's cool +2 for Allin | 00:39 |
| BugeyeD | no, no, alin is not the troll | 00:39 |
| _marx_ | Allin is that group's connection to wfu | 00:40 |
| BugeyeD | but i believe he's the reason wfu is hosting the list | 00:40 |
| _marx_ | he's a roll your own guy, os and smokes | 00:41 |
| coxn | okay so... can you connect with Allin to have a meeting space at WFU? | 00:41 |
| _marx_ | some swag and PR for a PLUG sponsored event | 00:42 |
| _marx_ | coxn: last time i did i had no response | 00:42 |
| coxn | _marx_: is there a business you could have host? | 00:42 |
| coxn | _marx_: would more than about 15 people come? If not, many businesses would have a board room that could fit your meetup | 00:43 |
| _marx_ | i know this opensuse user that talks to his wife... | 00:43 |
| coxn | _marx_: my suggestion is that you try to put together a list of local businesses that might have a linuxhead on staff who could play chaperone | 00:44 |
| coxn | get one to host you | 00:44 |
| coxn | anything else before I close us out? | 00:44 |
| _marx_ | we've done that in the past coxn | 00:45 |
| _marx_ | done | 00:45 |
| coxn | okay! | 00:45 |
| coxn | anything I need to do about the minutes? | 00:45 |
