[00:01] <_marx_> the wiki looks a lot different
[00:02] <internalkernel> not with me, but I believe he had a list of people willing to chair...
[00:02] <internalkernel> though I dont know who's next...
[00:02] <coxn> so! I'm chair now
[00:02] <BugeyeD> did he not send the list out?
[00:02] <internalkernel> its prolly BugeyeD tho...
[00:02] <coxn> hurm
[00:03]  * coxn looks in the list archive
[00:03] <BugeyeD> yup, october 6
[00:03] <_marx_> yeah notes for the next chair...
[00:03] <BugeyeD> akgraner is next, though all things considered we may have to fill in for her
[00:03] <coxn> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NorthCarolinaTeam/Meeting/Agenda/MeetingChairAgendaPlanningPage
[00:04] <coxn> right so... do we need to add people or otherwise alter that page?
[00:04] <coxn> any volunteers to fill in for akgraner?
[00:05] <BugeyeD> what's the date?
[00:05] <_marx_> it'd be the Jan 11 meeting

[00:05] <_marx_> or no Dec 10
[00:06] <_marx_> oh gee

[00:06] <coxn> so 5th Jan
[00:06] <BugeyeD> i'll try to backup ik
[00:07] <coxn> are we agreed that the next meeting is 5th Jan?
[00:07] <_marx_> yep
[00:07] <coxn> and who will be chair then?
[00:07] <BugeyeD> yup. if ak is unavailable, ik volunteers. and i'll back up ik.
[00:08] <coxn> okay
[00:08] <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] <internalkernel> ik
[00:08] <coxn> lulz
[00:08] <coxn> okay!
[00:08] <internalkernel> lmao
[00:09] <coxn> so are there any action items on chairs?
[00:09] <internalkernel> none that I know of...
[00:09] <internalkernel> holstein: may have some input... :D
[00:10] <coxn> okay! I'll make an impromptu next topic that's related, then
[00:10]  * _marx_ notes he has Feb
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <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...
[00:12] <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
[00:13] <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?
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <coxn> BugeyeD: I think the date, time, and wiki links
[00:15] <BugeyeD> excellent
[00:15] <coxn> perfect
[00:15] <coxn> [ACTION] BugeyeD will work with _marx_ to set up and document automated meeting reminders to the list

[00:18] <internalkernel> what ideas?
[00:18] <internalkernel> who posted that area anyways?
[00:18] <coxn> holstein did
[00:18] <internalkernel> right...
[00:19] <coxn> I'm feeling like a terrible meeting chair, y'all
[00:19] <coxn> :P

[00:19] <internalkernel> lol
[00:19] <coxn> right so... what connections do we have to UNC-A?
[00:19] <coxn> any?
[00:19] <internalkernel> not for me...
[00:19] <coxn> anybody know anybody in CompSci there?
[00:20] <coxn> I'll toss that out as something that should be explored
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <coxn> even if they limit access, that'd be a good step
[00:22] <coxn> anybody else have any ideas?

[00:24] <coxn> internalkernel: ?

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

[00:30] <coxn> [TOPIC] RDU Opportunities
[00:30] <Mootbot-UK> New Topic:  RDU Opportunities
[00:30] <coxn> TriLUG is having an organizational meeting tomorrow night
[00:30] <coxn> I'm on the Steering Committee for that... full disclosure
[00:31] <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.
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <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

[00:35] <coxn> ah.
[00:35] <_marx_> he lies, he's 15
[00:36] <coxn> remote for you, then. :)
[00:36] <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
[00:37] <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
[00:38] <coxn> oof
[00:38] <BugeyeD> you have no idea
[00:38] <coxn> where is that list hosted?
[00:38] <BugeyeD> wfu
[00:39] <_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
[00:40] <_marx_> Allin is that group's connection to wfu
[00:40] <BugeyeD> but i believe he's the reason wfu is hosting the list
[00:41] <_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?
[00:42] <_marx_> some swag and PR for a PLUG sponsored event
[00:42] <_marx_> coxn: last time i did i had no response
[00:42] <coxn> _marx_: is there a business you could have host?
[00:43] <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...
[00:44] <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?
[00:45] <_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] <coxn> #endmeeting
