[00:11] right now, I have a reminder to do it... that's about as far as I've gotten... [00:12] i can try to cron something if nobody else gets around to it. [00:12] I think I can send it from my subscribed address through a cron job though... [00:12] "Dewey Hylton" volunteered on the list [00:12] it'd be simple with python. or even shell if you use sendmail [00:12] pardon my ignorance, but is that one of you? [00:12] just some jerk [00:13] smee [00:13] Im ignoring both of them [00:13] okay! :P [00:13] it's me [00:13] BugeyeD: do you want/need any help? [00:13] BugeyeD: also, would you document what you implement in the wiki? [00:14] i can document, no prob. as for help, [00:14] who is a list admin? [00:14] <_marx_> i'm one [00:14] let's try to decide on content. that'd help. [00:14] then i could just automate squirting out the email. [00:14] <_marx_> BugeyeD: i'll send you my reminder template [00:15] BugeyeD: I think the date, time, and wiki links [00:15] excellent [00:15] perfect [00:15] [ACTION] BugeyeD will work with _marx_ to set up and document automated meeting reminders to the list [00:15] ACTION received: BugeyeD will work with _marx_ to set up and document automated meeting reminders to the list [00:16] [TOPIC] Asheville Advocacy ideas [00:16] New Topic: Asheville Advocacy ideas [00:16] okay...

[00:20] I'll toss that out as something that should be explored [00:20] 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] but I agree I would imagine there are some good folks there [00:20] any business in town that might be willing to host an in-person meeting? [00:20] <_marx_> at least a year ago [00:20] yeah we use firestorm cafe to host events [00:21] sounds good [00:21] it's always available... they have Ubuntu kiosks in there for customers [00:21] neat! [00:21] but we havent had anything planned... [00:21] lately anways [00:21] well, I suggest you reach out to the Uni... see if you can convince somebody on campus to host a campus mirror [00:22] even if they limit access, that'd be a good step [00:22] anybody else have any ideas? [00:23] [IDEA] Reach out to UNC-A about ubuntu events, mirror, etc. [00:23] IDEA received: Reach out to UNC-A about ubuntu events, mirror, etc. [00:23] [IDEA] schedule and promote an in-person meeting at firestorm café [00:23] IDEA received: schedule and promote an in-person meeting at firestorm café [00:24] Asheville people: what are the local tech media channels?

[00:25] yeah there's a weekly paper - I cant think of the name... [00:25] tip of the tongue [00:25] ... [00:25] internalkernel: if you scheduled a meeting, could you get them to run an announcement? [00:25] certainly worth a shot...

[00:31] cool [00:31] we'll be talking about re-incorporation, under what form, and associated costs, etc. [00:32] if folks committed to Ubuntu were to play a strong-ish role in that, I'd be happy about it [00:32] 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 [00:33] not that I have anything against Red Hat -- I don't [00:33] we should just make sure that it's not a Red Hat show. [00:33] <_marx_> location can be tough [00:33] okay... and the 9th is our December meeting, which will be at splatspace in durham [00:34] http://trilug.org/wiki/Meeting:2010_December_9 [00:34] LINK received: http://trilug.org/wiki/Meeting:2010_December_9 [00:34] access to a car is limited for me... but I will look into getting involved however I can...

[00:35] asheville [00:35] wife has the car mostly, since I travel for work [00:35] ah. [00:35] <_marx_> he lies, he's 15 [00:36] remote for you, then. :) [00:36] okay... that's everything I have for the schedule [00:36] anybody else have something to add? [00:36] another topic we should cover before we close things out? [00:36] <_marx_> lug news [00:37] [TOPIC] LUG News [00:37] New Topic: LUG News [00:37] 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 [00:38] oof [00:38] you have no idea [00:38] where is that list hosted? [00:38] wfu [00:39] <_marx_> I'd like to try to get that small herd of cats to hold a real event [00:39] cottrell? [00:39] yup [00:39] I'd suggest securing a meeting location that's not a bar [00:39] <_marx_> he's cool +2 for Allin [00:39] no, no, alin is not the troll [00:40] <_marx_> Allin is that group's connection to wfu [00:40] but i believe he's the reason wfu is hosting the list [00:41] <_marx_> he's a roll your own guy, os and smokes [00:41] okay so... can you connect with Allin to have a meeting space at WFU? [00:42] <_marx_> some swag and PR for a PLUG sponsored event [00:42] <_marx_> coxn: last time i did i had no response [00:42] _marx_: is there a business you could have host? [00:43] _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... [00:44] _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] get one to host you [00:44] anything else before I close us out? [00:45] <_marx_> we've done that in the past coxn [00:45] <_marx_> done [00:45] okay! [00:45] anything I need to do about the minutes? [00:45] #endmeeting [00:45] Meeting finished at 00:45.
