Sad, given that Google was pretty excited about getting applicants. Oh well. 23:08 <+Bart_Massey> From our point of view, I suspect we dodged a lot of hard work. 23:08 still too bad. I would've liked to pick up a new contributor or few. 23:09 <+Bart_Massey> Indeed. 23:09 <+emmes> i also think nobody knew that only that few applicants would be accepted 23:09 <+Bart_Massey> Definitely. 23:09 yeah, I had no idea they were taking less than 1 for every 7 in GSoC 23:09 it's the first time they've done this in a while, so I don't think anyone knew what to expect - hopefully like Summer of Code they'll expand once both Google and the orgs figure out what works 23:10 <+Bart_Massey> I think they've done it every year; they just renamed it this year. 23:10 just once before 23:10 <+Bart_Massey> It was the Google Highly Open Participation Contest last year. 23:10 I thought that was a couple years ago 23:13 <+Bart_Massey> I think they ran it last year. 23:13 <+Bart_Massey> I talked to Carol about it. 23:13 in any case, we did get some ideas that new contributors can start on, even if they're not high school students getting google t-shirts & money 23:14 <+Bart_Massey> Yeah, the problem with paying HS students is that you run into horrible regs. Google gets around this by making it a "contest". 23:15 yeah, wouldn't want to have to figure out child labor laws in all the different states, much less all the countries of the world 23:16 <+Bart_Massey> So, any other business? 23:19 any update on 501(c)3? 23:19 or the election committee? 23:20 hello port 999 23:20 9 23:20 greetings Mr. Treasurer - any report for us? 23:21 yeah, I'm trying to collect a bunch of checks and found that I have a lot of nte (not to exceed's) 23:21 guess I have to get some mail from keith, may have it buried somewhere 23:22 I also got a debit mastercard from hsbc. But I thought I was getting a crypto key 23:23 I suppose that could be handy for avoiding check cashing fees when hosting out-of-country events like the XDS dinner 23:23 alanc: no news on 501c3 from me. I emailed a proposed plan to the election committee after the last meeting, but no one responded 23:23 that's about it. I have the checkbook with me today, planning on sase'ing the tax payment 23:23 stukreit: any news on 501c3? 23:24 haven't spoken to karen 23:24 stukreit: how about the delaware franchise fee? 23:25 yeah, that one. I'm prepping it now to send to keith 23:28 I'm out of items on my list for the agenda 23:28 <+Bart_Massey> Cool! Move to adjourn. 23:29 anyone from the election committee, please reply to my email about the election plan 23:30 <+emmes> ok 23:30 The dates will obviously slide from my original proposal, since it's past already 23:31 unless someone sends an updated proposal, I'll send out an updated one later in the week 23:33 same proposal, new dates 23:34 does starting in January work? 23:38 <+emmes> good for me. almost no more vacation ;) 23:39 <+Bart_Massey> Got to go, y'all. See you in a couple of weeks! 23:40 never saw a second on the motion to adjourn, but I guess we're done now 23:42 thanks everyone """]]
