I had a reminder go off last week about member expiry +23:08 < whot> because we need to handle this better this year :) +23:09 < danvet> well since I wasn't there last time around I have 0 clue +23:09 < danvet> should we vote and member expire at the same time? roughly I mean? +23:10 < danvet> and bylaws/spi is also stuck in "pls review the latest version" since months ... +23:10 < agd5f> historyically we expired everyne before the election and send out a reminder to renew +23:10 < danvet> well bylaws say we need to do that +23:10 < whot> danvet: no, the order is: email to all members about upcoming expiry, then expire them, then call the election +23:10 < danvet> ok +23:11 < whot> and there are a couple of time limits, so we need to wait in between. I'll look those up +23:11 < danvet> oh well we have 5 people here, that's enough to get votes through, lets get started +23:12 < whot> danvet: who's still missing for the bylaw review? +23:12 < danvet> robclark, any updates on expo? +23:12 < danvet> whot, lemme check +23:12 < robclark> sorry, no expo update.. +23:13 < danvet> egbert&keithp, if we assume that mupuf has given his +1 by just sending out the mail +23:13 < danvet> so we'll need to do the current round of elections an membership stuff with the old box? +23:14 < whot> old box? +23:14 < danvet> current expo +23:14 * danvet doesn't have clue about this server transition business tbh +23:14 < robclark> it shouldn't matter too much from a migration standpoint.. +23:14 < danvet> I thought we couldn't move because the mail stuff isn't working yet ... +23:15 < robclark> either way, we need to snapshot the mysql db before finally switching off the old machine.. +23:15 < robclark> to be sure we have latest state +23:15 < danvet> yup +23:15 < danvet> robclark, so still stuck on handling mail somehow? +23:15 < danvet> you poked daniels to get the fdo side going? +23:15 < robclark> basically need to make a reminder to poke keithp at some time when we are both online.. +23:16 < robclark> yeah, need to re-ping daniels for the list migration (but that is orthogonal) +23:16 < danvet> I thought we just need some fdo admin to do this, and daniels offered to help? +23:16 < robclark> probably just need $some_fdo_admin +23:16 < danvet> daniels should be able to help I think +23:16 < robclark> yeah, I think last time I pinged him, he blamed skl for being too busy :-P +23:17 < danvet> we fixed that meanwhile ;-) +23:17 < robclark> heheh +23:18 < danvet> let's go to xdc date then, and keep the voting stuff for the end +23:18 < danvet> last time around we didn't vote due to lack of people, now it's not really more +23:18 < danvet> and mupuf is awol too +23:19 < agd5f> what were the dates again? +23:19 * danvet just realized that egbert isn't here, it's just his irc client +23:19 < danvet> 14-16th or 21-23rd Sept. +23:19 < mupuf_> sorry guys! +23:19 < mupuf_> got a slight bus problem +23:19 < danvet> egbert has a conflict on the 14-16 +23:19 < mupuf_> and the phone was dead +23:19 < danvet> stuart seems fine with either +23:19 < whot> I have no preference +23:19 < danvet> mupuf_, tsk ;-) +23:19 < danvet> no one else piped up with preferences either +23:20 < danvet> mupuf_, any preference from an organizer pov for xdc dates? +23:20 < mupuf_> the earlier the better I would say +23:21 < mupuf_> before students get really into classes +23:21 < agd5f> no preference from me either +23:21 < danvet> mupuf_, they're both while classes are on? +23:21 < mupuf_> sure, but the further along they are, the hardest it is for people to miss +23:22 < agd5f> I guess I'd prefer the later ones though when push comes to shove +23:22 < mupuf_> never heard this idiom before +23:23 < danvet> well I'd say given egberts conflict and no other hard conflict we should just vote for 21-23 sept +23:23 < danvet> and better to fix the date earlier than later imo +23:23 < danvet> ok, or further discussion? +23:24 < agd5f> danvet, sounds good to me +23:24 < whot> +1 from me for 21-23 +23:24 * robclark has no preference.. although earlier seems like it would mean longer days which seems like a good thing +23:24 < danvet> there's few folks, so need full agreement anyway for the vote to carry ;-) +23:24 * danvet +1 on 21-23 +23:24 < mupuf_> +1 on 21-23 +23:25 < mupuf_> I had forgotten about the conflict of egbert +23:25 < whot> robclark: doesn't matter if the light's out while we're at the pub :) +23:25 < agd5f> +1 on 21-23 +23:25 < robclark> heheh +23:26 < mupuf_> september is fine, it is just like Bordeaux, we may actually have more light still +23:26 < mupuf_> it is only in november that it gets really bad +23:26 < danvet> robclark, +1/-1? +23:26 < robclark> sure, +1 +23:27 < danvet> thx, next xdc is 21-23 sept 2016 +23:27 < danvet> mupuf_, happy organizing! +23:27 < danvet> mupuf_, might be good to give lwn.net a note for their calendar ... +23:27 < mupuf_> yep! +23:28 < danvet> so next up all that voting stuff +23:28 < agd5f> mupuf_, you should get into event planning ;) +23:28 < danvet> whot, have you dug out the timeline? +23:29 < mupuf_> agd5f: what do you mean? +23:29 < danvet> just relocate to a new city every two years and have xdc there, deal? +23:30 < agd5f> this is your second xdc +23:30 < mupuf_> danvet: sounds good! +23:30 < mupuf_> oh, sorry, yes :D +23:32 < danvet> whot, ping +23:33 < whot> danvet: oh, you wanted me to do this now? +23:33 < whot> I thought I'd do it after the meeting and then send the email +23:33 < danvet> well I have honestly no clue ;-) +23:34 < whot> we need the time schedule by email anyway so we can refer to it later, so I'll do it that way. less chance of getting it wrong too if I have time to double-check it :) +23:34 < danvet> thing is next bod mtg is likely not happening since everyone on vacation (at least I am), so next proper one is 7th Jan 2016 +23:34 < danvet> yeah makes sense +23:35 < danvet> do we need to do the member renewal thing before then? +23:35 < whot> also, the time-frames are usually in the ~30 day frame, so it'll 90 days from expiry warning to election +23:35 < danvet> ok +23:35 < mupuf_> yep +23:35 < danvet> that might even be enough to get spi sorted ... +23:36 < mupuf_> ... +23:36 < whot> if the bylaws permit it, doing it before xmas may be better, otherwise we're stuck until min-jan when people return to work/email +23:36 < danvet> whot, do we need some board decision for the expiry warning? +23:36 < whot> not that I know of +23:36 < mupuf_> can I say that we suck at this? :D +23:36 < danvet> mupuf_, we're even really good at sucking at this +23:37 < mupuf_> lol +23:37 < stukreit> I have an issue to bring up. +23:37 < danvet> whot, so doing expiry warning now, then renew until middle of january? +23:38 < danvet> or warning that it'll expire in the middle of january? +23:38 < danvet> stukreit, about? +23:38 < whot> warning now, expiry before xmas, give ppl 30 months to re-sign up +23:38 < stukreit> was Keith doing something about ownership of www.x.org? +23:38 < whot> 30 days +23:39 < danvet> ok, makes sense +23:39 < danvet> whot, ok if I assign this to you to write a mail with timeline to board and get the expire warning/renewal started? +23:40 < whot> ack +23:41 < danvet> thx +23:41 < agd5f> I need to go an get my daughter in 5 minutes +23:42 < danvet> anything else that we have open? +23:43 < whot> the bylaws have 6 out of 8 acks, that's enough. we wanted SFLC comments on them at some point, mupuf_ do you remember the details? +23:43 < whot> because they too have timeframes, and we need to ask SPI for re-inviting us +23:43 < mupuf_> whot: well, just asking them for validation +23:43 < mupuf_> but I seem to be the only one asking for it +23:44 < mupuf_> but I guess our bylaws are not as important when we join SPI +23:44 < mupuf_> we still need ti contact them to give them our status +23:47 < whot> mupuf_: should we figure it out off list what there is to do then? +23:48 < mupuf_> I guess, but I have 0 contacts at SFLC :s +23:48 < whot> same with me, but they should be findable +23:49 < whot> I'll try to summarise what is needed here in the timeline email then +23:50 -!- secretary^ [~secretary@212-51-149-109.fiber7.init7.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] +23:51 < danvet> oh dear my secretary died +23:51 * danvet closed the wrong window +23:51 < danvet> I guess mtg closed, agd5f is off now anyway ... +23:52 < mupuf_> I guess! +23:53 < danvet> thx everyone! +23:53 < danvet> oh and no mtg on 24th in case that wasn't clear ... +23:53 * danvet will add that to the minutes +23:53 < robclark> k, gn """]] -[23:50:31] [disconnected at Thu Dec 10 23:50:31 2015] |
