Dec 12 21:08:20        the website Dec 12 21:08:36        essentially, will be giving out admin accounts Dec 12 21:08:46        ok, that makes more sense Dec 12 21:08:53       FrancisKlein: excellent to hear! Dec 12 21:09:04        yes indeed Dec 12 21:09:16        uspiratesorg is now in the hands of the IT committee once more Dec 12 21:09:32        he's coming online now Dec 12 21:09:34        all we need to do is get pirate-party.us back Dec 12 21:09:40        if you want him to talk Dec 12 21:09:53 *       Bosun (~Bosun@pzed-90-35-978-39.west.biz.rr.com) has joined #pnc Dec 12 21:09:58 <FrancisKlein>       he might have something additional to add Dec 12 21:10:07 <FrancisKlein>       perfect timing! Dec 12 21:10:12       Bosun: for the record, identify please Dec 12 21:10:38 <Bosun>       Joseph Klein Wisconsin/IT Dec 12 21:11:24       Can you give a rundown of what's going on with the site? Dec 12 21:11:30 <FrancisKlein>       would you care to say anything about the site? Dec 12 21:11:41 <FrancisKlein>       ^what she said Dec 12 21:11:58 <K`Tetch>       is it just going to be a 'website', or a full service platform? Dec 12 21:13:17 <Bosun>       I have Admin rights and access to the DNS records. Dec 12 21:13:47 <Bosun>       It is on Wordpress ... it needs an updatee Dec 12 21:13:49 <K`Tetch>       (because I know the ppuk is going to be rolling out a new full-service site in the next month Dec 12 21:14:22        Bosun: I want it in the record that I'll help with the WP back-end and server management. Dec 12 21:15:37        And we may have someone else willing to help, especially with setting up the proper email addresses for the board. Dec 12 21:16:16 <Bosun>        Not a lot to manage, but help is appreciated. Per my prior statements I would like passwords etc distributed to three trusted people form different states. Dec 12 21:17:07 <Bosun>        I am happy to authorize people who are willing to help. Dec 12 21:17:29        is there an agenda for the meeting? Dec 12 21:18:05        Agenda is in the topic, https://pnc.piratenpad.de/PNC-2013-12-11 Dec 12 21:21:00        Bosun: is there a specific plan for action for the IT committeee? Dec 12 21:21:06        thanks Dec 12 21:22:26 <K`Tetch>       just wondering if the IT committee is really weded to the wordpress thing, and if the new (and english-lagnguage documented) ppuk site would be a better thing to build from Dec 12 21:22:48 <Bosun>       I was just concerned with updating things.and some incremental changes. We don't have a real staff so we should not run in front of our headlights Dec 12 21:23:57 <Bosun>       I use Drupal for WIPP - Wordpress is what we got here. Dec 12 21:25:08 <Bosun>       We can do anything the volunteer base is willing to work on or can work on. Dec 12 21:25:31 <K`Tetch>       I can talk to ppuk it, Dec 12 21:25:33 <Bosun>       But don't suggest unless you can make it work. Dec 12 21:25:53 <FrancisKlein>       so... a subject that should be brought up at a later IT meeting? Dec 12 21:26:33 <K`Tetch>       probably Dec 12 21:26:36       More like the next IT meeting, imo Dec 12 21:27:15 <K`Tetch>       well, depends how quick i can get the answers from stve wilson Dec 12 21:27:46       Hoping that it's quick, but we'll see. Dec 12 21:28:34 <FrancisKlein>       convention, then? Dec 12 21:28:46       yeah Dec 12 21:28:57 <FrancisKlein>       Convention  committee has nothing to report as of this time, will have a meeting at 8pm eastern time Saturday, December 14th at the handle #uspp-con. We will discuss the nominations and we will work to make sure every aspect of the elections next week is covered. We will also establish the procedure for the elections, and any information that is not already known will be shared via the SAB list. Dec 12 21:29:12 <FrancisKlein>       tell me if you didn't get all of that Dec 12 21:29:42       last words were via the SAB list Dec 12 21:29:48 <FrancisKlein>       correct Dec 12 21:29:51 <FrancisKlein>       thats all Dec 12 21:29:57       Awesome.

Dec 12 21:31:38       K`Tetch: noted. Dec 12 21:31:39 <Rush>       Who the hell is Bradly Dec 12 21:31:47 <K`Tetch>       not sure if I'll accept OyajiVyse's nomination of me for Chairman Dec 12 21:32:02 <K`Tetch>       its Bradley where my e's not working right Dec 12 21:32:13 <Rush>       lol Dec 12 21:32:15 *       K`Tetch is going to have to return this keyboard Dec 12 21:32:36 <K`Tetch>       keys sometimes won't go down Dec 12 21:32:41       K`Tetch: understandable Dec 12 21:32:47       Press harder Dec 12 21:32:55 <K`Tetch>       its like the movement sticks Dec 12 21:33:19 <K`Tetch>       anyway Dec 12 21:34:46       jyaworski and I were also nominated Dec 12 21:35:20       but again, any other nominations to put forward for the PNC officers?

Dec 12 21:36:49       Yes Dec 12 21:36:59 <FrancisKlein>       ok Dec 12 21:41:18 <K`Tetch>        so.... Dec 12 21:41:50       FrancisKlein: anyone? Dec 12 21:41:59 <FrancisKlein>       yes, just a sec Dec 12 21:42:02 <FrancisKlein>       typing Dec 12 21:43:43 <FrancisKlein>       The state of Wisconsin Pirate Party seconds the nomination of K'Tetch for Captain, (and strongly encourages him to accept), seconds the nomination of jyaworski to QM, and nominates BlueStreak for 1st officer Dec 12 21:44:02       Real names, please. Dec 12 21:44:04 <FrancisKlein>       ok Dec 12 21:44:08 <FrancisKlein>        sorry Dec 12 21:44:19       and Blue can't take a nomination, as she's serving on the election committee. Dec 12 21:44:30 <FrancisKlein>       right Dec 12 21:46:20       jokeefe: do you want to put any nominations forward? Dec 12 21:47:11 <FrancisKlein>       The state of Wisconsin Pirate Party seconds the nomination of Andrew Norton for Captain, (and strongly encourages him to accept), seconds the nomination of Joseph Yaworski to QM, and nominates Lindsay-Anne Brunner for 1st officer Dec 12 21:47:49 <FrancisKlein>       which is also a second Dec 12 21:48:00 <FrancisKlein>       I'm really good at typing, you guys Dec 12 21:48:05 <FrancisKlein>       except not Dec 12 21:48:10       I was only nominated for Capt. by FL lol Dec 12 21:48:15       so, close enough Dec 12 21:48:19 <FrancisKlein>       Ok Dec 12 21:48:29 <FrancisKlein>        nevermind again Dec 12 21:48:57 <K`Tetch>       I was nominated for vice chair then, and lindsay for Chair Dec 12 21:49:13       we have no nominations, though I will say that one week for nominations seems short to me Dec 12 21:49:56 <FrancisKlein>        K'Tetch, do you accept the nomination, or still decline? Dec 12 21:49:59       it was discussed at length, and I specifically brought that concern up to the PNC Dec 12 21:50:10       jokeefe: ^ Dec 12 21:53:06       Ok Dec 12 21:53:25        Rush: I accept the nomination from the FLPP for Captain Dec 12 21:54:21 <Rush>       Excellent.

Dec 12 22:02:59       it is Dec 12 22:03:42 <Bosun>        we have people for all position? Dec 12 22:04:09 <FrancisKlein>       Andrew and I are having a fisticuffs in the pm Dec 12 22:04:27 <K`Tetch>        hardly Dec 12 22:04:39 <FrancisKlein>       joking Dec 12 22:04:56 <Bosun>       no bruises to the face ... he is running against Walker. Dec 12 22:05:43 <FrancisKlein>       Oh, no worries... Unless I suddenly go bald on the top of my head I'll always have the one up on Walker in looks Dec 12 22:06:55 <K`Tetch>       ok, I accept the NY nomniation for Chair, with some caveats Dec 12 22:07:09 <FrancisKlein>       ?

Dec 12 22:07:48 <K`Tetch>       the caveat being, since it's me and Liz nominated for both chair and vice, that we have a single election, winner = chair, loser = vice Dec 12 22:08:21 <Rush>       Ooh, that's gonna be a fun election Dec 12 22:08:51 <K`Tetch>       seems like it'd be the easier way to run it Dec 12 22:08:57 <FrancisKlein>        unless any other nominations come forward for chair and vice, I have no objections Dec 12 22:09:22 <FrancisKlein>       Actually, that is exactly what would happen anyway Dec 12 22:09:29       The other nominations have less than an hour to be put forward and accepted Dec 12 22:09:37 <FrancisKlein>       indeed Dec 12 22:10:01       I accept the nominations for Quartermaster. Dec 12 22:10:18 <FrancisKlein>       If any other nominations are put forward, the convention committee will have to run separate elections Dec 12 22:10:22       No Dec 12 22:10:29 <FrancisKlein>        ?
