(06:26:42 PM) yharrow: i cant visualize a  professional conference without it
(06:27:01 PM) hal14450: how about an asterisk presentation? ... so i could figure out what the hell i'm doing lol
(06:27:14 PM) WeblionX: What'd I miss?
(06:27:17 PM) ausimage: if there are less then 10 who would like to participate at the next meeting I think I would like to try voice conference on gizmo

(06:27:53 PM) samiam010203: cool
(06:28:22 PM) psychoneil: never used it but would be up for trying
(06:28:28 PM) yharrow: ausimage, only problem is logging. If someone takes notes it can work.

(06:28:42 PM) ausimage: would monday the 10th at 7 work?
(06:28:45 PM) samiam010203: if we do it over skype i can record it
(06:29:04 PM) ausimage: I can't get my skype to work :S
(06:29:06 PM) samiam010203: and then we could host it as our first podcast
(06:29:15 PM) ausimage: I know my gizmo does work...
(06:29:16 PM) hal14450: gizmo means more work for me heh i'd have to install it i'd rather add users to asterisk
(06:29:28 PM) ausimage: I think you can use sip to connect as well
(06:29:31 PM) samiam010203: if you give me a phone number i can call you from skype ausimage
(06:30:00 PM) yharrow: voip can also be a barrier to entry. I think that most mission dependent issues should be discussed over IRC
(06:30:06 PM) hal14450: samiam010203, isn't your account working ?
(06:30:06 PM) ausimage: hmmm... we will have to do a few tests... but I think voice conf will be better

(06:31:10 PM) ausimage:  Moderate LP List...    Building Regional Leadership    Meetups.com -- linux.meetups.com have very few meetups in state    Accepting Nominations  for Leadership [if bylaws pass]  
(06:31:44 PM) ausimage: do we have a consensus on when to hold the next conf committee?
(06:31:55 PM) yharrow: ok guys lets discuss leadership votes i think its an important issue. we can continue future meeting planning in the last 20 mins of the meeting
(06:31:59 PM) samiam010203: monday the 10th at 7opm

(06:54:21 PM) hal14450: i'm here
(06:54:23 PM) yharrow: i think that is for another discussion though  lol. we need to make committess at some point
(06:54:30 PM) ausimage: yeah
(06:54:34 PM) hal14450: fixed the error in asterisk
(06:54:46 PM) ausimage: yharrow a committee page on the wiki
(06:54:53 PM) yharrow: read my mind ;)
(06:55:19 PM) yharrow: anyways
(06:55:22 PM) ausimage: it might be able to be worked into the projects ;)
(06:55:22 PM) yharrow: hal14450, coolness
(06:55:41 PM) yharrow: ausimage, yeah that would be great to be able to assign projects to specific comittess.
(06:55:58 PM) ausimage: I have it partial setup that way on the new site;)
(06:55:59 PM) yharrow: are there any more topics that need to be discussed?
(06:56:09 PM) ausimage: meetup.com;)
(06:56:13 PM) ausimage: samiam010203: ?
(06:56:16 PM) samiam010203: yes
(06:56:29 PM) samiam010203: as i told you the price was a little to much imo
(06:56:37 PM) ausimage: ok...
(06:56:46 PM) samiam010203: so i think we should use the already created linux.meetup.com
(06:57:09 PM) ausimage: it is almost too bad that we could not take this to the Ubuntu Loco and request support from other teams;)
(06:57:38 PM) ausimage: as other US Teams if they would like to make an Ubuntu.meetup.com :)
(06:57:47 PM) ausimage: *ask
(06:57:53 PM) samiam010203: we could bring it up on the forums
(06:58:14 PM) ausimage: coool...
(06:58:44 PM) yharrow: ausimage, should we add a little piece about meetup.com to team resources?
(06:58:55 PM) ausimage: I think NYC and Rochester could be using it to hold regular meetups...
(06:59:04 PM) ausimage: yeah I think so yharrow
(06:59:59 PM) ausimage: do you not think a Rochester and NYC linux.meetup.com would be nice?
(07:00:06 PM) samiam010203: yes
(07:00:30 PM) yharrow: ausimage, what do you mean a rochester linux.meetup.com?"\
(07:00:34 PM) ausimage: we could be pulling in new members perhaps
(07:00:59 PM) ausimage: use linux.meetup.com to advertise a meetup in Rochester and NYC ;)
(07:01:14 PM) ausimage: that would be sanctioned by the team :)
(07:01:35 PM) ausimage: an official event :D
(07:02:08 PM) ausimage: at least we would be supporting the linux community...
(07:02:29 PM) ausimage: if not mostly Ubuntu since that is one of easier distros ;)
(07:02:50 PM) ausimage: hal14450, hendrixski?
(07:02:55 PM) yharrow: hmm
(07:03:26 PM) ausimage: it would be good for our image in the state :)

(07:03:37 PM) yharrow: ok guys
(07:03:44 PM) yharrow: any other topics for the day :D

(07:05:06 PM) yharrow: I think that it was a wise move.
(07:05:39 PM) yharrow: I beleive we are at the point where we can be selective and approve only ppl who have enough time in their day to give us simple info
(07:05:50 PM) ausimage: I too... we are able to get some demographics of our membership now ;)
(07:05:51 PM) samiam010203: true

(07:06:07 PM) yharrow: and inactive members

(07:07:13 PM) yharrow: btw, in regard to elctions, we will need to also elect region leaders
