[9:23pm] Joe: Unleash the O'KEEFE!
[9:23pm] jokeefe: Please create an account and I can make people admins
[9:23pm] Joe: You can make me one if it pleases the council.
[9:24pm] Bosun: Yari needs admin
[9:24pm] jokeefe: guess we must be doing something right if someone bothered the spam us
[9:24pm] yarivaltean: Moving on
[9:24pm] Joe: Yari and pmchi is a good choice too
[9:24pm] yarivaltean: wodensday, outreach?
[9:24pm] yarivaltean was promoted to operator by Bosun.
[9:24pm] yarivaltean was demoted from operator by ChanServ.
[9:24pm] yarivaltean: Bosun, use Yari
[9:25pm] Bosun: I can't do it the sysop needs to.
[9:25pm] wodensday17 joined the chat room.
[9:26pm] wodensday17: Am I back?
[9:26pm] yarivaltean was promoted to operator by you.
[9:26pm] yarivaltean was demoted from operator by ChanServ.
[9:26pm] yarivaltean: you are.
[9:26pm] wodensday17: Excellent
[9:26pm] pmchi: I’m seeing double, four wodensdays!
[9:26pm] wodensday left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
[9:26pm] wodensday17: This is once again Anthony Jay, IN - for the record
[9:27pm] Radiojoe: yeah, WD17 might be a copycat
[9:27pm] jokeefe: block/kick at the ready 
[9:27pm] wodensday17: haha, just in case - the last DM I sent to pmchi was my email address
[9:27pm] wodensday17: He can verify that
[9:27pm] Bosun set a ban on amonus!*@*.
[9:28pm] pmchi: This is true, that’s our Wodensday!
[9:28pm] Bosun: We are probably being attacked.
[9:28pm] wodensday17: To prove I have info only the real Wodensday would know
[9:28pm] yarivaltean: wodensday go ahead with your report
[9:30pm] wodensday17: Report: We are now using Tweedeck to tweet daily. We split the responsibility for each day using a little system. Days are split between Yari, Pmchi and I. That way, no matter what, someone has done something on the account.
[9:30pm] yarivaltean: (although I did miss my day)
[9:30pm] jokeefe: excellent!
[9:31pm] wodensday17: Don't worry, I missed Saturday. It's a WIP!
[9:31pm] Joe: Still more than it has been.
[9:31pm] yarivaltean: I have it in my calendar now, too!
[9:31pm] yarivaltean: which is, for me, how things get done
[9:32pm] wodensday17: But the goal is that responsibility is in the hands of core outreach members. We welcome more tweets by more tweet-ers, but this way our bases are covered no matter what
[9:32pm] yarivaltean: Awesome, thank you wodensday! next goals for the team?
[9:33pm] wodensday17: Now we work on getting that good pirate content out there, especially on the blog.
[9:33pm] yarivaltean: cool!
[9:38pm] Frank: Is it okay if I join the discussion?  I applied to join recently, but I am not sure if I am allowed to join more discussions yet. 
[9:39pm] Joe: Anyone is welcome
[9:40pm] jokeefe: Voting is limited to state representatives
[9:40pm] pmchi: Yeah I think you’re welcome to talk as long as you ID (which you did). You just can’t vote on anything
[9:40pm] jokeefe: however
[9:40pm] wodensday17: As far as I'm aware, the only thing you cannot do is vote in this meeting.
[9:40pm] Yari joined the chat room.
[9:40pm] Joe: It's open discussion so that we can format our policy, but the thwy are voted on by the party.
[9:41pm] Frank: Okay.  Thanks.
[9:41pm] Yari: I had another internet blip again
[9:41pm] Bosun: Organize Ohio!
[9:41pm] Yari: Did I miss what Frank said?
[9:42pm] jokeefe: no
[9:42pm] Yari: Also, on the internet note, Joe can we have broadband internet access as part of our basic human rights
[9:42pm] pmchi: Looks like our Ohioan friend left. Frank is our WV Pirate
[9:42pm] yarivaltean left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
[9:43pm] Bosun: Oh, Organize WV!
[9:43pm] wodensday17: Bosun, this is giving me flashbacks to then you greeted me for the first time with "Organize Indiana. What are your plans? Tell me."
[9:43pm] Joe: Interesting Yari. I consider it a right but as more than a basic right. More like a level 2 or 3
[9:44pm] Yari: Joe, more of a suggestion for a Platform meeting than anything else
[9:44pm] Joe: I will put it on for next week.
[9:46pm] Yari: Anyway, finishing up reports - I'd like to just move into an open discussion where people can suggest things we take care of in future meetings.
[9:46pm] Yari: Since we have a number of people here
[9:46pm] Yari: and we just got raided
[9:46pm] Yari: What are your suggestions for how the PNC could help the USPP operate better?
[9:47pm] Yari: by naming those suggestions here, we can start to formulate some points for future meetings that become motions, etc.
[9:47pm] Yari: I can start - I would like to have a discussion about moving entirely to jitsi, in light of both this raid and our relatively successful jitsi meeting.
[9:48pm] wodensday17: I was just about to say that.
[9:48pm] Bosun: Next week?
[9:48pm] Yari: sorry, wodensday - I stole it from your brain
[9:48pm] jokeefe: Sounds good
[9:49pm] Yari: yes, bosun, I am not suggesting these discussions happen now
[9:49pm] Joe: Maybe a form asking " who's you"
[9:49pm] wodensday17: As a pirate, I think the live streams are a fantastic way to see our leadership engaged in discussion and debate. As the outreach chair, I have to say the PR potential is endless.
[9:49pm] jokeefe: I suggest we update https://wiki.uspirates.org/w/index.php?title=Organizing_Guide and put it to video.
[9:49pm] papegaai: Title: Organizing Guide - United States Pirate Party (at wiki.uspirates.org)
[9:49pm] Yari: Joe, elaborate?
[9:50pm] jokeefe: Did we ever have the 1 minute Pirate <mumble something something> ?
[9:50pm] Yari: jokeefe I like that - would be good youtube fodder.
[9:50pm] Joe: A signup form for joining our jitsi team
[9:50pm] Joe: To become a pirate state rep and organizer
[9:50pm] Yari: ohhh huh.
[9:51pm] jokeefe: step 1. find two pirates
[9:51pm] Yari: okay, yeah, I'll add that as a sub-point to the discussion for next time.
[9:51pm] jokeefe: sustaining a state/local party is another topic to record
[9:51pm] Yari: jokeefe I think Joe has a point, the process may be simple, but it's relatively opaque to those outside of our org
[9:51pm] Joe: That way we can both vet new people and direct them to the appropriate documents
[9:52pm] Joe: A lot of work to streamline the help.
[9:52pm] wodensday17: Inviting only non-officers who have something to present, either as a chair or for another purpose, is a system that should scale well enough
[9:52pm] wodensday17: I don't see us needing rigid rules as to who should or shouldn't be on jitsi just yet
[9:53pm] Bosun: Committees serve at the pleasure of the PNC.
[9:54pm] wodensday17: I'm not sure I follow the elegant jargon
[9:56pm] Joe: I 2nd, Bosun is most elegant.
[9:57pm] Joe: Motion to adjourn?
[9:58pm] Yari: motion on the table
[9:58pm] Bosun: It means by vote of this committee, sub committees can be created or dissolved, and the rules set by this body.
[9:59pm] Bosun: 2nd adjourn.
[10:01pm] Yari: all in favor?
[10:01pm] Joe: Aye
[10:01pm] Bosun: Aye
[10:01pm] Yari: two ayes, we are adjourned.
[10:01pm] Yari: the committee meeting is adjourned at 10:01pm EST
