Okay, guys, called for 9:06pm, Roll Call! Erik Zoltan, Massachusetts Lindsay-Anne Brunner, NY, Captain  Joseph T. Klein, Wisconsin  Kyle DeVore, Oregon  JAROD SMITH GEORGIA  Bradley Hall, Florida Nick, Maryland  Daniel Gorski, New York Huzzah Ok, in the topic is the agenda the date is wrong Hey I need an account? no, i got the date wrong There we go, sorry long day >Guests are not allowed to join that pad. Please sign in. I'll open it up.. could have sworn..  https://pnc.piratenpad.de/PNC-11-28-12 https://pnc.piratenpad.de/PNC-11-28-12 thank you kyle Man, I'm out of it lol ok, agenda in topic for reals now Ok, to reports, is IT here? itspara, anything on the IT front? I don't believe IT has anything to report. CalebLangeslag can correct me if im wrong. Don't think he's in right now, Mr CalebLangeslag Work on the new website is slow and sluggish. like a wet sponge. Is there anything we can do to try to step up that pace? :/ I've started to work on it as well... is it just a personnel issue? We can definitely include more people who are interested in creating content or participate otherwise. We are using wordpress. What needs to be done aside from content? Additionally we should probably decide what specifically needs to be worked on. Contact information for states is needed, now that I recall Not much, mostly content and figuring out which plugins we want to use and make sure they work properly. So, if you guys don't mind sending your site/contact emails for your state party my way, that would rock. I could finish that as soon as I have the info kbenjamin sauerhaft coplon chester PA (sorry) Better late than never :) itspara, that's pretty much all for IT? I believe so Press was cancelled this week, as I had an interview during the meeting time. i also would like if someone stepped up as new head for the press committee, because right now I'm still head of that.. I think someone else should take over if anyone's interested, of course XD i'll be fallback if you want that would rock so much :) yaaaay! ok, so, onward to FO and QM election For FO, CalebLangeslag is the only candidate So.. Um, I don't know how this is going to work.. Just aye-or-nay, I suppose?  aye aye  aye abstain :) jarod, Rush Ok, I'll call it. 3 aye, 2.5abstain, CalebLangeslag is FO Congratulations to CalebLangeslag! Hooray! now, for QM, again, one nominee, OyajiVyse. So, let's vote on it. Aye, Nay, Abstain  eye aye abstain  aye aye  abstain *abstaining due to lack of information on nominee  aye  and aye on the other, there's only one nominee, right? Rush, the first vote's closed already Bosun, that's aye, correct?  aye  yes  true and calling it, 4 for, 1.5 abstain congrats OyajiVyse \ why are we voting publicly? I thought we did this privately <OyajiVyse> Thank you kindly :) Congrats CalebLangeslag and OyajiVyse <Rush> There was only one candidate for each position I know but still. itspara, it's one candidate for each position ok, yay, full new board Anyone have AOB to add? I know. I have no probems with it.. i just thought all elections would have private voting regardless Not for one candidate, but meh. Anyone have anything else to go over tonight? ok Cos, if not, we can leave. Next meeting is December 26th (TWENTY-SIXTH) 2012. Vote to adjourn? Hold on, why is the next meeting 12/26? We're going to start going monthly instead of weekly When was this decided? It wasn't decided on, I feel it may be more productive to start having the meetings monthly instead of weekly. If you guys feel otherwise, then we can come back next week. can i talk about my classes idea? I'm not against it. Just came as a surprise. sure, passstab I think it should be voted on Does a state wish to make a motion to vote on the meeting date/frequency? i think that we should have pirate classes, for pirates, by pirates, about pirate stuff Pirate stuff, like coding, crypto, and the like? <Rush> Hacker High School Massachusetts Pirate Party co-sponsored a crypto party. Have you heard of them? We could have an online one using videos or something... as well as stuff regarding running a party getting a state party off the ground, campaign law, how to talk to people We had a conference in 2012 - I think it was around March - and we were thinking of having a virtual conference that we'd publish as a series of videos. It is not exactly the same as passstab's idea but similar. I think MAPP is interested in your idea, but would have to discusss with them. It was in March, OyajiVyse and I attended. It was awesome :D thanks my idea was to have them online <Rush> Passtab, only if the next video in the series is "how to talk to girls" <Rush> lol lol I would love to give a talk on peer to peer networks and the future of the pirate party. kind of like a pirate ted talk LOL we could create TED Pirate. <Rush> YES, but it'd have to be TEDx Pirate Because x marks the spot... <Rush> Yes love it That is brilliant We should work that. i really like that idea. I will contact TED and see what it takes to use TEDx. awesome, thank you ted is cc-by-nc-nd :( TEDx events may not be used to promote political agendas. hrmm :/ not surprising so it would have to be our own series still.. we should totally do it We really should, that would be excellent <Rush> What would we call it? W"B"T?? Pirate School <Rush> That sounds like Driving School, something you'd go to if you got a ticket true Pirate U <MrSquared> Call it "The Poopdeck" ^^ U as in university anyone interested in forming a committee for this? SAB x Pirate Pirate X <Missle59> The School of Swashbuckling and Adventuring passstab, would you like to head the committee? sure This could go along with the youtube channel I suggested outside of this meeting MAPP has a youtube channel already. Should we just have a discussion on SAB and place this on the agenda for next mtg? I think it would be nice to have a national channel.. so we can brand ourselves nationally yes, mi mildbeard, on SAB or the forums.. yes Does the new site have a forum? we have had a forum for over a month a nice new phpbb3 forum I believe the one we have now will continue to be our forum http://pirate-party.us/forum ah ok. I didn't see a link on the testing.usporates.org site - so I wasn't sure. testing.uspirates.org I mean there should be a link along the top... unless someone removed it I didn't see one last night.. Aah. Didn't notice. That and the login links are kinda subtle. OK so I'd like to make a motion about the next meeting date if that's OK? sure Move to hold our next meeting on Wed 12/26. second? <MrSquared> second observers cant second :/ <Bosun> second Vote on next meeting date to be Dec. 26 - aye or nay? <Bosun> aye aye aye <MrSquared> aye nay jarod? jarod_? I wish we'd had more discussion before voting, because I'd like to understand itspara's objection. <jarod_> aye <jarod_> sorry at work it's fine I feel that meeting often helps keep everyone in the loop and allows for voting on items more often we can call a meeting sooner, if needed we should have people on more committees to make up for it ok... I still keep my nay vote... but that is good This is a great time of year to have a break, but maybe every 2 weeks in the future would be OK? we have that option as well mildbeard, yeah, that may be better in the future OyajiVyse, totals? Also it would be nice to explore other times to meet. I know this doesn't work for some states. <OyajiVyse> 4 aye, 0.5 nay especially the more western states vote passed, next meeting dec 26th. make sure to bring boxes I also want to see forums be used more... Eventually they should replace SAB as we don't have control over the SAB that's true too, itspara > make sure to bring boxes boxing day joke. ooooohhhhhh Next IT meeting that actually happens I will try to make it a priority to build in mailing list functionality into the forums SAB section anyway, bad jokes aside, anyone want to move to adjourn?\ oh I cant move whoa what happened with the elections? im an observer itspara, i'll see if I can help with that Everyone voted in that was supposed to be? sacha, CalebLangeslag and OyajiVyse won. Sacha, we have a new QM and a new FO. sacha: we elected you supreme leader Wait it has only been 14 mins 14? oh jk 74 uh.. you may need to fix your clock an hour and 14 I woke up late have no idea what time it is we're about to adjourn Are you in Australia? I think we should give sacha time to bring up something if she wishes i think she needs a coffee first Lol Sacha, any AOB stuff? I was just going to ask about how making Liz's Fiance QM would affect things Does it bother anyone? it would lead to him getting beat if he doesn't do what he needs to. They wouldn't be arguing as independent entities really Or him getting beat if he disagrees with you Im not sure, we will have to keep an eye on whether or not that causes any issues. which could be a problem Personally I'm glad someone stepped forward, and I don't think we should consider it a problem until it actually becomes one. It won't cause any issues, and I won't beat him if he disagrees. Is Travis banned from IRC? If you do kusanagi, bear in mind both of you could lose your positions for abusing the system He was temp banned because he was flooding before. he's been unbanned for some time now itspara, well aware I agree with you Mildbeard it is something I will just watch and I was curious what others thought wait - what happened with Travis? his client is messed up and it keeps joining then flooding out he said to ban him when it happens, and I do and let him know immediately. aah ok. that's not as controversial as it sounded!!! not like he was arrested for building nukes mildbeard, we almost had dramas! hahah itspara - if you start using the forums I will be sure to reply to you there! Move to adjourn. oooh.. we fell under quorum. anyone second? MrSquared, Bosun? I want to see the captain actively using the forums as well... <Bosun> second itspara, I will ok, vote to adjourn aye k all is good aye I hope the IT committee will let me create a policy forum. I would post there a lot. I can set that up now if you wish I think we should remodel the forum after the green parties shiny new forum ok, we're under quorum anyway, good night, next meeting is boxing day, dec 26th unless called before then. good night <Bosun> aye adjourn <OyajiVyse> good night all, and thank you once again :) <Bosun> goodnight 'night
