 Alright, I'm closing the Doodle poll
 The meeting is on January 30 at 14 UTC / 8 AM US Central
 If you are on the KC and you are *not* able to make this time, please send me a message, we can always schedule a better time one on one
 I hope this doesn't wake anyone up, but I'm casting a wide ping 
 @DarinMiller @Rick_Timmis @RikMills
 Myriam hasn't been on Telegram since November and isn't in IRC, Valorie isn't in here or IRC at all (I sent her a message, I'll try her number tomorrow afternoon if I don't hear anything).
 The important thing is, we need a quorum on these decisions. If we reach a quorum, fine. I'm keeping a paper trail and can start doing that on the mailing list once it accepts my emails. In the meantime, again, if you can't make the meeting, please talk to me.
 It's incredibly urgent, thus the tone of my message.
 I can make the meeting on 30-Jan, 7:00am MT.   Who is hosing and what is the platform?
 I'm hosting, Riddell and Aaron said they're available to attend (and I'd encourage them to). Platform is likely Jitsi, open to Google Meet or Big Blue Button.
 I'd like to know what is urgent
 For once Aaron, and I've never said this to my recollection, just trust me. Please.
[02:58] <valorie> oops, don't realize how I fell out of here
 Yay, I knew you'd be around Valorie.
 @tsimonq2 I will there
[08:04] <valorie> Simon gave me a call and told me I was missing, so I popped back in
 {{Hug}} Lovely, and see you tomorrow at the meeting
[08:04] <valorie> nice to see you here Aaron *arraybolt3
[08:05] <valorie> {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
[08:05] <valorie> we have a meeting tomorrow?
[08:05] <valorie> that he didn't mention
[08:05] <valorie> is it in the planning notes in the topic?
 Ah yes, Simon's ask to get us together, as there are a few things on the Critical path for the LTS release
[08:06] <valorie> right, he said that, but not *tomorrow*
[08:07] <valorie> fortunately my calendar is mostly clear which is unusual
 Hmm might be TZ issue, between UK and USA. It's Tuesday 30th Jan 14:00 UTC
[08:14] <valorie> yikes, looks like that is 6am!
[08:15] <valorie> but it's late and I might not be seeing things correctly
 Simon, did say he could reschedule, so if that's too early, I don't mind if it's late back a couple hours
 Pushed back a couple hours
[08:18] <valorie> I'll ask him tomorrow in signal - it would be later for him
[08:19] <valorie> I think he's 2 or 3 hours ahead of me
[08:19] <valorie> what were we going to use to meet in? BBB?
[08:20] <valorie> oh gosh, I never made a new gitlab login and I don't want to
[08:20] <valorie> grrr
[08:45] <valorie> bedtime -- ttyl
[14:47] <arraybolt3> wait - which Aaron?
[14:47] <arraybolt3> I thought it was ahoneybun, not me :P
 I was talking to Aaron Honeycutt in my message, arraybolt3 :)
[14:54] <arraybolt3> kk, I saw valorie's message and went "?! OH NO I WAS SCHEDULED FOR SOMETHING AND NOW I'M LATE AAAAAA" :p
 Is it not tomorrow? 1/30?
[14:55] <arraybolt3> I don't know, I just saw me get pinged and had a slight panic attack
 This is correct (re @ahoneybun: Is it not tomorrow? 1/30?)
 No worries arraybolt3
 So, what platform is this meeting on? Did anyone decide?
 How about using Jitsi, and @tsimonq2 can send a link. I did think about BBB, but we haven't used it in a while, so let's avoid any technical woes
 As long as it works in a standard browser with a link, I am good. Please no last minute 'you need to install *this* app.
 It'll be fine, Simon was chatting with me via Fallon the other day
[18:56] <valorie> my question is still: what time is 14:00 UTC in Seattle?
[18:57] <valorie> if it really is 6am I'll have to set an alarm
[18:59] <arraybolt3> it is indeed 6:00 AM. (Took me several tries to get Google to convert UTC to Pacific Time rather than the other way around.)
 It said 6am for me in MT so 5am Seattle?
 Also valorie Emma and I will be at LFNW!
[19:01] <valorie> IN PERSON?????
[19:01] <valorie> hallelujah! \o/
[19:01] <valorie> 5am it is :(
 Yep!
 Got flights booked
[19:02] <valorie> I guess I can ask the 'buntu fund for a hotel room
[19:03] <valorie> but I dunno about a table -- don't want to be at a table by myself
[19:04] <valorie> I wonder if Ubuntu will have something where I could contribute?
 We'll be there for Pop from the sound of it. Focused on COSMIC
 valorie: First off, I owe you a simple apology for not being clear enough about the meeting time. I mentioned it but I don't think I emphasized when it was. My bad, again, I have stuff in writing that I'd all like us to review, a summation of the conversations, so this is not some back room dealing, it'll be fair, straightforward, and with proper advice/consent. Just want to make that clear from the getgo
 valorie: Secondly, I submitted my funding requests for all of 2024 yesterday. I'd submit yours soon if you have one, they're wrapping up numbers for Q1
[19:09] <valorie> it's early, but I'll live, LOL
[19:09] <valorie> tbh LFNW was not on my radar
[19:09] <valorie> I'll check my calendar to see if it's possible for me to go
 If you want to decide for it to be, you have less than a week in my estimation :)
[19:10] <valorie> I can look in a min
[19:10] <valorie> <--- has not even had coffee yet today
 Thanks :)
[19:11] <valorie> also no apology needed 
 NICE! LFNW is on my list, I'm hoping Ubuntu will send me (re @ahoneybun: Also valorie Emma and I will be at LFNW!)
[19:11] <valorie> we talked about a lotta stuff
 No worries, I think we're on the same page, I just wanted to be clear that, well, I wasn't clear enough when I should have been :)
[20:04] <valorie> ok, coffee in, a sudoku done, now to figure out LFNW
 <3
[20:12] <valorie> awesome, that weekend is open for me
[20:15] <valorie> @ahoneybun I need the link to your and Mykaeka's wedding so I can officially sign up and buy a ticket south, get a hotel etc.
 We're just going to get married with court stuff and a party once funds are available. (re @IrcsomeBot: <valorie> @ahoneybun I need the link to your and Mykaeka's wedding so I can officially sign up and buy a ticket south, get a hotel etc.)
[20:16] <valorie> ah, so plans have changed
[20:16] <valorie> I totally get it
 If we had rich parents maybe lol
 To hire a planner lol
[20:18] <valorie> loads of ways to have a fun party - doesn't need to be expensive
 Right but the planning part was stressing Mykaela out too much
[20:18] <valorie> got it
[20:30] <valorie> hmmm, very little detail available on LFNW.org
