2014-04-24 21:31:00     scott5  hi guys
2014-04-24 21:31:14     ASW     hi
2014-04-24 21:32:05     scott5  I guess you noticed the lack of agenda so far :)
2014-04-24 21:32:34     ASW     Only when I looked at it about 10 minutes ago
2014-04-24 21:32:49     kdk1966 hey all
2014-04-24 21:33:06     scott5  have you looked at the minutes from February yet?
2014-04-24 21:33:09     scott5  http://wiki.oclug.on.ca/wiki/BoardMinutesFebruary2014
2014-04-24 21:33:31     kdk1966 checking it out now...
2014-04-24 21:34:05     scott5  I think we can use those as the agenda for the most part
2014-04-24 21:36:20     ASW     Does somebody have a log of the IRC meeting we had on March 27th?
2014-04-24 21:36:52     scott5  I think I do
2014-04-24 21:38:15     scott5  i was wrong, i don?t.
2014-04-24 21:38:28     scott5  that was the in-person meeting at RGB's right?
2014-04-24 21:39:52     scott5  I guess igorman won?t be joining us tomight, and RGB said he may be a little late, at least he will be able to follow the chat
2014-04-24 21:39:59     ASW     The email you sent on March 23rd was about an IRC meeting on March 27th @ 8PM
2014-04-24 21:40:13     scott5  hmm
2014-04-24 21:40:24     scott5  I don?t seem to have a log, which is odd
2014-04-24 21:40:41     ASW     And my IRC log has me logging in, but nothing besides you saying "we need an ian and a scott..."
2014-04-24 21:40:54     ASW     sorry, RGB said that...
2014-04-24 21:41:30     scott5  oh well, we are flying in the dark? anyone have sonar or IR?
2014-04-24 21:42:04     ASW     Well, there's a list of action items at the end of the Feb meeting minutes
2014-04-24 21:42:34     ASW     For once I've got some useful information from the bank
2014-04-24 21:43:02     scott5  thats pretty good
2014-04-24 21:43:11     scott5  what have we learned?
2014-04-24 21:43:49     ASW     I got the 2013 yearly statement from RGB (mailed to MCR's home)
2014-04-24 21:44:15     ASW     Jan 1 2013 balance: $6023.90
2014-04-24 21:44:15     ASW     Dec 31 2013 balance: $5792.49
2014-04-24 21:44:34     scott5  We don?t pay a fee for any of this do we?
2014-04-24 21:44:42     ASW     As of yesterday, we had $5792.21 in the account
2014-04-24 21:45:01     scott5  that is rather odd
2014-04-24 21:45:05     scott5  no cheques right?
2014-04-24 21:46:04     ASW     Not listed on the summary, but we did give RGB two cheques in Feb 2014
2014-04-24 21:46:35     scott5  true
2014-04-24 21:46:57     ASW     As far as fees go, we'd have to pay for a full list of transactions
2014-04-24 21:47:05     scott5  wow!
2014-04-24 21:47:20     scott5  with a balance over $5000 we get nothing?
2014-04-24 21:47:45     scott5  we are with a credit union right?
2014-04-24 21:47:59     ASW     Yes, Caisse Alterna
2014-04-24 21:48:20     ASW     And we don't have online access, they don't have any way of limiting it to "read-only" mode
2014-04-24 21:50:09     scott5  I just looked at their service fees. It?s pretty bad, you pay for everything
2014-04-24 21:50:39     scott5  are we on monthly or quarterly statements?
2014-04-24 21:51:07     ASW     I was hoping the printed statement would give some details about WHY our balance changed...
2014-04-24 21:51:19     scott5  one would hope
2014-04-24 21:51:46     ASW     The statement I got from RGB was for Jan 1/13 to Dec 31/13
2014-04-24 21:52:04     scott5  one statement for the year?
2014-04-24 21:52:17     scott5  It does offer an annual statement option
2014-04-24 21:52:34     ASW     I suppose I can drop by the Bell's Corners branch some time and see what options we have
2014-04-24 21:53:06     scott5  might not be a bad idea. I could meet up there as well in case we need two people
2014-04-24 21:53:31     scott5  have we collected any donations yet this year? I think I asked to pass a hat once
2014-04-24 21:54:43     ASW     I've got a note on my cell phone that we collected about $25 in Sep 2013, but nothing since then
2014-04-24 21:55:14     ASW     And I do remember making a deposit last year
2014-04-24 21:56:03     scott5  I guess we should start the ?pass the hat? again, just in case the government doesn?t screw us over as a non-profit.
2014-04-24 21:56:34     scott5  I need to have a meeting checklist :)
2014-04-24 21:56:57     scott5  it isn?t automatic yet. I should add that to the documentation.
2014-04-24 21:58:26     scott5  we aren?t going to solve the oddity tonight. I did send you the domain renewal fee items right? I suppose I should ask for a cheque for the two domains at the next meeting
2014-04-24 21:59:36      *      SunRaycer appears
2014-04-24 21:59:41     ASW     I don't recall getting anything, just a sec while I check
2014-04-24 22:00:40     scott5  Hi there RGB, finished the work stuff?
2014-04-24 22:02:02     ASW     Yes, you did on Feb 26th - $11.98
2014-04-24 22:02:02     ASW     So do we need a vote by the board to add new board members? WIth RGB we've got 3 of 4 current members.
2014-04-24 22:02:02     scott5  did i send one for linux-something.ca?
2014-04-24 22:02:19     scott5  we had an election, so we have 4 of 5 :)
2014-04-24 22:03:30     SunRaycer       work stuff?  I was singing in a parent-student concert at my daugher's school
2014-04-24 22:03:48     scott5  back to domains? there should be two, ugconnect.ca and linux-ottawa.ca
2014-04-24 22:04:55     ASW     Yes, I would have seen it if I'd scrolled down...
2014-04-24 22:04:55     scott5  RGB, oops, my mistake, you sent an email about that didn?t you?
2014-04-24 22:10:49     SunRaycer       only logs I've got this year are 2014-01-29
2014-04-24 22:11:05     scott5  RGB, did you manage to get the minutes from the last meeting done? Just wanted to check the todo list.
2014-04-24 22:11:44     scott5  we had a meeting at your place in March didn?t we?
2014-04-24 22:11:45     SunRaycer       last meeting would have been march, but we didn't end up having a meeting.
2014-04-24 22:11:58     scott5  When was the meeting at your place?
2014-04-24 22:12:46     SunRaycer       scott5: no.  we were supposed to have an irc meeting in march 27, but you and ian didn't show up.
2014-04-24 22:12:55     SunRaycer       last meeting at my place was feb.
2014-04-24 22:13:03     scott5  right? my mother?s funeral
2014-04-24 22:13:18     SunRaycer       :-(
2014-04-24 22:13:30     SunRaycer       wasn't aware of that.
2014-04-24 22:13:49     SunRaycer       was ian there?  :-/
2014-04-24 22:13:49     scott5  It was a bit of a sudden trip. I didn?t even bring a computer
2014-04-24 22:13:54     scott5  LOL
2014-04-24 22:14:22     SunRaycer       was going to ask, was this expected?  sounds not...  sorry to hear.
2014-04-24 22:14:53     SunRaycer       was the new board member invited this evening?
2014-04-24 22:15:36     scott5  She was in long term care for the past year and a bit, on the previous Thursday night she got sick and was dead by 16:30 on Friday
2014-04-24 22:15:56     scott5  it was quite quick and then I had the joy of bad weather and Air Canada
2014-04-24 22:16:27     SunRaycer       where was she?  do you have siblings?
2014-04-24 22:16:27     scott5  I kind of forgot about the meeting, that was the funeral day.
2014-04-24 22:16:50     SunRaycer       well, under those circumstances, that's quite understandable!
2014-04-24 22:16:54     scott5  She was home in N:, my sister lioves there still, as well as my father. My brother is in Toronto
2014-04-24 22:16:58     scott5  er NL
2014-04-24 22:18:04     scott5  I was a bit scatterbrained after that, so I dropped a lot of items that took me a couple of weeks to catch up on.
2014-04-24 22:18:51     scott5  I guess that means the February minutes are the latest. We should approve them.
2014-04-24 22:19:07     SunRaycer       http://wiki.oclug.on.ca/wiki/BoardMinutesFebruary2014
2014-04-24 22:19:18     ASW     They look good to me
2014-04-24 22:19:24     scott5  I agree
2014-04-24 22:20:11     SunRaycer       I wrote them so I'll likely consent.  :D
2014-04-24 22:20:40     SunRaycer       may I ask who is kdk1966 ?
2014-04-24 22:21:01     scott5  so all approved, igorman abstaining and kdk wasn?t on the board yet
2014-04-24 22:21:02     SunRaycer       sounds like they are the same age as me.  :D
2014-04-24 22:21:33     scott5  kdk is our new member
2014-04-24 22:22:16     SunRaycer       I missed that part of the AGM because I was helping a user recover data from an unbootable laptop...
2014-04-24 22:22:26     scott5  he seems to be having issues with the web client right now
2014-04-24 22:23:23      *      SunRaycer has been ignoring join/parts for a long while now, so I'm blissfully unaware of any yoyoing. :D
2014-04-24 22:25:32     SunRaycer       ok, looking at that action items list, I only seem to have accomplished one, which was those minutes themselves.  :-/
2014-04-24 22:27:52     SunRaycer       but I did get a bathroom renovated and David Miller accepted my 6-patch set to add a netlink bind mod for audit multicast.  \o/
2014-04-24 22:28:23     SunRaycer       kdk1966: please remind me, who are you?

2014-04-24 22:31:30     scott5  I just sent a note to Adrien to see if he wants to do a short talk at teh beginning of the talk next week. Hopefully he will have something.
2014-04-24 22:34:33     scott5  John and I will be doing a talk on modern document production techniques, I threatened to do one when I did the slide production talk and John wasnted to fo it at this meeting. We have a few items to show and a number of experiences to discuss.
2014-04-24 22:36:24     scott5  I have another Pi talk in the wings as well, environmental monitoring, server monitoring, motion detecting camera, etc.
2014-04-24 22:37:53     scott5  I have to send you the AGM membership list. I?ll scan that and send it to you tonight.
2014-04-24 22:38:28     scott5  I think that covers the stuff I was supposed to do :D
2014-04-24 22:43:43     kdk1966 not my place to dictate the pace here, but I do have a few early-morning appointments.  what else are we hoping do discuss tonight
2014-04-24 22:44:03     scott5  true
2014-04-24 22:44:14      *      SunRaycer is ill-prepared for this meeting and is yawning a whole lot...
2014-04-24 22:44:30     scott5  I suppose I can co-opt you to get the tux documentation completed. You up for that?
2014-04-24 22:44:46     SunRaycer       scott5: was there anything urgent we needed to cover before the next members' meeting?
2014-04-24 22:45:01     SunRaycer       what tux documentation?
2014-04-24 22:45:31     SunRaycer       I need to install a bare O/S on the 2nd v20z as a backup to tuxbis
2014-04-24 22:45:42     scott5  the panic book stuff, BCP/whatever
2014-04-24 22:45:48     SunRaycer       ah
2014-04-24 22:45:54     scott5  are you still planning on virtualizing it on the new machine?
2014-04-24 22:46:04     SunRaycer       eventually, but no rush
2014-04-24 22:46:26     scott5  I think we can close. ASW covered the finances already, we have an oddity to look at
2014-04-24 22:46:32     SunRaycer       I still have to decommission my old desktop (that I am using at the moment) and my old server first...
2014-04-24 22:46:58     scott5  how does that go? You get everything but time?
2014-04-24 22:47:18     SunRaycer       I have everything but time, correct.
2014-04-24 22:48:14     ASW     I'll check with the bank about how much a complete transaction statement costs
2014-04-24 22:49:04     scott5  according to the fee schedule I looked at, $1.00 per
2014-04-24 22:49:10     SunRaycer       (/me mutters about an audio recording failing this evening due to full SD card...)
2014-04-24 22:50:20     scott5  i guess we can end the meeting, I think we covered most of it anyway.
2014-04-24 22:50:25     ASW     OK
2014-04-24 22:51:15     kdk1966 works for me
2014-04-24 22:51:33      *      scott5 bangs virtual gavel. 
2014-04-24 22:51:55     kdk1966 later, folks
2014-04-24 22:52:15     scott5  see you all next week
