FC 2011-06-02 transcript

[21:02] <+rintaran> Anyhow, It's time to get started. [21:03] <+rintaran> As usual, we start with the Leader's Report. You have 5 minutes Mikkel. [21:03] <~MikkelPaulson> thank you [21:03] <~MikkelPaulson> still settling in to Montreal, with no apartment as yet [21:04] <~MikkelPaulson> so I haven't been able to do anything particularly constructive [21:04] <~MikkelPaulson> aside from delivering a shirt for Nuitari [21:04] <~MikkelPaulson> however, I will say that I'd like to get some regular Montreal meetings going [21:04] <~MikkelPaulson> even if it's just he and I going out for beers once a month, with a standing invitation for anyone else who might care to join [21:05] <~MikkelPaulson> that's basically all that the Edmonton meetings were for a while [21:06] <~MikkelPaulson> but having regular meetings with nobody is the only way to start getting meetings (again) with somebody [21:06] <~MikkelPaulson> (fin) [21:06] <+rintaran> Excellent. Thank-you. [21:07] <+rintaran> It seems Bleskie is absent. We'll hold off his report for later. [21:08] <+rintaran> My report is pretty simple. I had my meeting with the local RO and completed what I needed to with her. Just have to get my information to the Auditor before I send everything to EC to finish up on the local Agenting stuff. [21:08] <+rintaran> I have completed the update of the Public Relations site. Fresh graphics showing the heirarchy within committees has been uploaded. [21:09] <+rintaran> I've put up all the agendas I could find on the Wiki, and uploaded the last three transcripts. [21:09] <+rintaran> Additionally, I have a local meeting setup here in Ottawa for Wednesday. So far, I have three people confirmed to attend. [21:09] <+rintaran> Remarkably, none of them are the regulars that I've seen before. [21:10] <+rintaran> I was able to get through most of the Open Media report, but have yet to finish as of this time. [21:10] <+rintaran> And, unfortunately, I did not get the opportunity to look into the requirements or steps for forming the EDAs at this time. [21:11] <+rintaran> Bakhos, I believe your report is next in line. [21:12] <+rintaran> Nuitari, are you here? [21:13] <+rintaran> I'm guessing not. Bleskie, are you set with your report or would you like Vulliez to go first? [21:15] <+rintaran> Vulliez, tell me you aren't ghosting like Bleskie and Bakhos... [21:15] <+svulliez> I am here [21:15] <+svulliez> For now... [21:15] <+rintaran> Thank goodness. Go ahead with your report then. [21:16] <+svulliez> I've touched base with Ric about the Research & Innovation committee, and we agree that the way to get it off the ground was to start adding people to it, and start discussing information. I think that this participation will encourage people to jump in. [21:16] <+svulliez> I've read over select portions of the Open Media report that interest me, particularly their discussion of p2p networks and I was quite impressed with their treatment of the issues. I plan on printing it out and reading the rest when I have the time. [21:17] <+svulliez> I have been attempting to recruit volunteers, and I have found a lot of willing people who are very busy right now. [21:18] <+svulliez> I've also found that messaging people directly on twitter has had a pretty positive effect, got several people willing to help on the pirate linux project [21:19] <+svulliez> I'm also adding "Plan a local meeting" on my to-do [21:20] <+svulliez> That's my report. I have to go now, I'm very sorry. [21:21] <+rintaran> Alright Shawn... [21:21] <+rintaran> I guess we need Bleskie or Bakhos to speak up right about now or we have to discontinue the meeting as we no longer will have quorum... [21:23] <~MikkelPaulson> looks like just you and I now… [21:24] <+rintaran> So does that mean the meeting is over? It's hard to discuss these issues without additional input... [21:27] <+rintaran> I guess so. This week's agenda will be pushed to next week then...
