--- Day changed Fri Jan 30 2015 07:01 < whot> good morning 07:01 < whot> fwiw, danvet and keithp are out today 07:02 < marcoz> whot, do you guys have Halloween down there? 07:03 < whot> sort-of, not in the way you do 07:03 < marcoz> what's it like? how's it diff from US? 07:03 < whot> people have halloween parties, shops sell you junk, but no-one goes trick-or-treating 07:04 < robclark> hi 07:04 < whot> and people look at it as an american concept, not as a australian thing, so it's not something you really get behind as such. maybe closer to st patricks's day or so 07:05 < agd5f> hi 07:06 < robclark> heh, st patricks day vs halloween. I think we come out the loosers in that ;-) 07:07 < whot> hehe 07:07 < whot> mupuf_: ping 07:07 < marcoz> so no dressing up in costumes and going out and acting stupid? wait, yep you're right. that sounds like St. Patty's day 07:08 < whot> halloween is the same, just different costumes :) 07:08 < whot> egbert: ping 07:10 <+egbert> ghi! 07:10 <+egbert> i'm here 07:10 < whot> alrighty, that makes 5 of us, maybe mupuf_ joins later 07:10 < whot> danvet isn't here today, I'll take the notes and whatnot 07:11 < whot> agenda: bylaws, expo, XDC2016 07:11 < whot> egbert: I think your bylaw review is still missing, so is keithp's 07:12 <+egbert> right. i was just reading thru it. not fully finished, yet. 07:13 < whot> oh, and a side-note from XDC2015 - samuel's reimbursement is complete 07:13 -!- alanc [~alanc@inet-hqmc01-o.oracle.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 07:14 <+egbert> how about Tom? 07:14 < whot> I don't know, I haven't seen any requests from him. stukreit? 07:14 < agd5f> He still hadn't heard back, but he's out of town this week 07:15 < stukreit> true. have not received a bill from Seneca yet. Have sent Juliet $2500 and $2000. There was a snag that her bank refused us as an "NGO" but she straightened that out 07:15 < stukreit> still, she hasn't ack'ed either payment yet 07:16 < whot> ok, thanks 07:16 < whot> robclark: any updates from expo? 07:20 -!- mupuf-jolla [~sailfish@83-245-241-238-nat-p.elisa-mobile.fi] has joined #xf-bod 07:21 < whot> I guess I'll take this as a 'no' 07:22 < whot> last item then: XDC 2016, I think we said we'd vote on the location this week? 07:22 < robclark> oh, hey.. 07:22 < robclark> sorry, no real update on expo.. I pinged daniels and keithp .. but that is as far as it went.. 07:23 < whot> ok, thanks 07:23 < robclark> I suppose if no one else is, I should make more regular db snapshots from expo.. 07:23 < robclark> just so at least we have latest data.. 07:23 < robclark> (I guess in case of emergency, that way we could switch over to openshift stuff easily even if email was broken for a week or two) 07:24 < whot> yeah, that'd be great 07:25 < robclark> ok 07:25 < whot> so, back to XDC, we have two proposals, Helsinki and Venice 07:26 <+egbert> what i still fail to clearly see - is there anyone local to organize this in Venice? 07:26 < whot> but, imo, at least for Venice we don't now enough yet to vote on it. it's not clear yet where the conference would be, apparently the university hasn't come back yet 07:27 -!- secretary [~secretary@212-51-149-109.fiber7.init7.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 07:27 -!- danvet [~daniel@2a02:168:56c9:0:22cf:30ff:fe4c:37d6] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 07:28 <+egbert> oops 07:30 <+egbert> the much i would like to go to Venice - September is still tourist season and Venice is packed with tourists. 07:30 < whot> heh, I don't think helsinki has that problem :) 07:30 <+egbert> right ;) 07:31 <+egbert> from the proposal i still fail to see how we can run this conference in Venice. 07:31 <+egbert> there are several hotels listed, apparently the once at the airport is reasonably priced. 07:32 <+egbert> but who wants to stay at the airport? 07:32 < robclark> Not sure how much time hurry we have, to hear back details about venice? If we aren't in a hurry it wouldn't hurt to have more details (although I'm a bit skeptical on the costs..) 07:33 < whot> we aren't in a hurry 07:33 <+egbert> robclark: this could indeed be an issue. italy is not exactly cheap during the season. 07:33 <+egbert> off season might be different. 07:33 < whot> so maybe we should just request a write-up instead of having this sprinkled across emails 07:34 < agd5f> I didn't get the impression anyone was going to organize the venice location, I got the impression it was a suggestion 07:34 <+egbert> i guess what would be good to have is a venue with opportunity/ies for accomodation not too far away. 07:36 < marcoz> agreed on the single write-up, including accomidations' costs 07:36 < whot> ok, so how about we defer this, put dan's wiki writeup to good use and request a single writeup from ken 07:36 < whot> because us wasting time without knowing enough information isn't going to help anyone 07:36 <+egbert> yup 07:36 < robclark> sounds good 07:37 < whot> I'll send out those emails, mupuf_ that means you'll have to collate your bits as well 07:37 < whot> might put that up on the wiki after, just so it's easier to access 07:37 <+egbert> whot: thanks! 07:39 < whot> and I think this concludes today. do we have anything else? 07:39 < robclark> none here 07:40 < whot> alrighty, in that case, thanks for attending, talk to you all in 2 weeks 07:40 < marcoz> cool. later gates 07:40 < marcoz> gators 07:40 < whot> by then DST has kicked in/out, so better make sure the time's right 07:41 < whot> meeting time is San Francisco 2pm, whatever that translates to in your timezone 07:42 < robclark> cya
