02:01:48 <award3535> evening juggler
02:03:28 <juggler> evening award!
02:04:47 <award3535> I will give the others a few minutes to show up
02:04:57 <juggler> ok
02:05:26 <juggler> I will need to bug out about :30 for work.
02:06:14 <award3535> we may not have anyone else show up, but do you have any updates for SCALE
02:07:02 <juggler> I have advised Alex and Paradox about the SCaLE event page and to please update that asap
02:07:45 <juggler> has Paradox had a chance to chat with  you about currently being low on swag in the event box?
02:08:21 <award3535> well, that is why you need to show up to meetings or email me or kk4ewt or nb
02:09:20 <award3535> things need to be discussed and proposed, I cannot do this by my self, thus the reason we split the meetings to we could have the west coast more involved
02:10:03 <award3535> nb currently has the most of the remainder of the swag
02:10:43 <award3535> jsandys may have some as well, but I have not heard from him in months
02:11:09 <juggler> I know you cannot do this myself, as I can't either. :)
02:12:02 <award3535> if they cannot make meetings they can always use the ticket system, so that makes me wonder if they are concerned with the project anymore
02:12:39 <award3535> I know they read the emails and logs from the meetings
02:13:30 <award3535> every once in a while there are some responses on tickets and some emails that float around... but nothing else
02:13:43 <juggler> I think at the very least Paradox is concerned, but is tied up with raising a family too...
02:15:20 <award3535> juggler, I do not want to get too deep but I work two jobs and have raised 4 and now have grandkids around most of the time, one child is easy, so that is why I split the meetings, hoping that it would fit his schedule
02:16:05 <juggler> I hope so too
02:19:54 <juggler> any news from your side award?
02:19:54 <award3535> juggler, I am going to call the meeting since there is no attendance, this usually happens around the holiday season since everyone is busy with other things
02:20:21 <juggler> is our next meeting next Thursday sametime?
02:20:23 <award3535> nothing from me, the wife is good, still a little pain
02:20:46 <award3535> our next meeting is not until January, the 4th
02:21:21 <juggler> peculiar, I could've sworn I saw an e-mail indicating there was a meet 12/7 and 12/14. *shrug*
02:21:37 <juggler> perhaps I misread that
02:22:00 <award3535> ticket #190 quoted During the upcoming few months we will have a lot of days that families will be traveling and holidays. Meetings will be held on the following days 9 and 30 November, 7 December, 4 and 25 January 2018. Since attendance has been low and there are no events until March of 2018, I am moving to these dates for meetings. For event planners you must have your event ready in all aspects when pitching your bud
02:23:18 <juggler> will do. I'm hoping to have the logistics sewn up before the new year's.
02:24:19 <award3535> January is also the month the west coast chairs a meeting day/time of your choice the 4 and 25 Jan dates are not solid, the 4th (thursday 2100 east) chaired by me, the other will be up to you guys on the west
02:24:30 <juggler> will Alex need to wait to buy airfare until 4 January, or can he followup on e-mail?
02:26:23 <award3535> Alex I cannot answer for early purchase but if he can I would agree as long as it can be cancelled if needed without charge if things change, but I do not forsee that happening
02:26:49 <jwf> .hello jflory7
02:26:50 <zodbot> jwf: jflory7 'Justin W. Flory' <jflory7@gmail.com>
02:26:51 <jwf> Sorry I'm late… had final exams this evening and just got home a bit ago
02:26:55 <award3535> now you see the importance of these meetings
02:27:03 <award3535> #chair jwf
02:27:03 <zodbot> Current chairs: award3535 juggler jwf
02:27:24 <award3535> evening jwf, we were just about to cancel due to lack of attendance
02:28:26 <award3535> juggler did you catch my last?
02:28:35 <award3535> I know you are getting ready to go
02:28:48 <jwf> I'm sorry to have not kept up with it, but did we officially transition the meeting times for the west coast too?
02:29:07 <award3535> jwf, not until Jan 2018
02:29:22 <jwf> Okay, that's fair.
02:29:30 <award3535> jwf I will be posting instructions and when shortly
02:30:01 * jwf nods
02:30:25 <award3535> so far the next meeting for FAmNA will be on 4 Jan 2100 east chaired by me, the other meeting for the month of January will be hosted by the west coast with a day/time tbd by the west coast
02:31:06 <award3535> with that said once they announce when the meeting is doesnt mean i will not attend theirs as well
02:31:08 <jwf> If I don't have a 4am/5am shift on Jan. 5, I will be able to make that.
02:32:22 <juggler_alternat> sorry, my other system disconnected from IRC
02:32:23 <award3535> jwf no worries, I will more than likely move meetings after the 4th to 2000 east
02:33:40 <award3535> juggler did you get the answer I responded to with regards to Alex
02:33:48 <juggler_alternat> well folks, I need to wrap it up for work.
02:34:01 <juggler_alternat> yeah, Alex should hopefully see that when he reads the logs.
02:34:07 <jwf> award3535: When I get back to school, that time should be helpful for me.
02:34:13 <jwf> Oh, I do have one thing to share:
02:34:21 <award3535> jwf go
02:34:40 <juggler_alternat> jwf please go ahead...I will leave this running in case I take off ;)
02:34:46 <jwf> Oh, I guess I'll just explain it for now. I forgot the Fedora Infrastructure team is working on planned maintenance this week, so the Community Blog is up and down a lot this week.
02:35:24 <award3535> thank you jwf I was not aware
02:35:39 <jwf> The short description is that the HackMIT event report was published on the CommBlog this week. Even though it's late, I tried to get at the heart of the event and provide helpful feedback based on some of the things we tried out, what worked, and what didn't.
02:36:07 <jwf> I asked some questions at the end to evaluate if we will want to go back again next year or not. If folks get a chance to read when it's back online, I'd be curious for thoughts
02:36:26 <jwf> Because I'm still milling over whether it's something we go back to with more planning, or if we try something new with more planning.
02:36:45 <jwf> Anyways, I guess we can discuss it more next time, but keep an eye on the CommBlog after this week and it's there.
02:37:05 <juggler_alternat> will keep a lookout for it, jwf
02:37:15 <award3535> jwf no worries, also will get the reimbursements done for that event....
02:37:18 <jwf> juggler_alternat: Thanks!
02:37:27 <jwf> award3535: Thanks, I really appreciate that a lot too
02:37:28 <juggler_alternat> have a good holiday season y'all, if I don't chat with you soon..take care.
02:37:36 <jwf> juggler_alternat: Right back at you!
02:37:52 <award3535> you as well juggler....
02:39:01 <award3535> jwf I am going to close this meeting now and get the email out with meeting time for next FAmNA
02:39:16 <jwf> award3535: Sounds good to me. The HackMIT report was all I had.
02:39:32 <jwf> I decided to forgo plans to organize a Fedora presence at a local event in Rochester in spring because I don't know if I'll have time
02:39:41 <jwf> So, no new events for me until later next year
02:39:59 <jwf> But I'll still look out for opportunities to jump in. bexelbie shared a cool one on the mailing list
02:40:42 <award3535> jwf your education is more important, and yes I saw that but I am not willing to travel to Illinois in Feb
02:41:05 <jwf> Thanks. Maybe nb would be interested, since it's not too far out from him
02:42:15 <award3535> jwf please stay out of trouble and have a safe holiday season! see you next year
