[9:12pm] Mass joined the chat room.
[9:12pm] roarde: you're aware Twain was a huge proponent of copyright extension, and is releasing "new" freshly-copyrighted works _to_this_day_?
[9:12pm] jokeefe: it isn’t paid for by us, so get the approval of the people behind the book
[9:13pm] jokeefe: book is in the public domain IIRC
[9:13pm] Bosun: Unfortunately he is dead so it is hard to engage him in a discussion
[9:13pm] jokeefe: aye
[9:14pm] Bluestreak: This is just for endorsement
[9:14pm] jokeefe: so to glompix’s point, how can we help people get up to speed quickly
[9:14pm] jokeefe: I am in favor of it
[9:14pm] Bluestreak: To submit to the ppl responsible for publichsing
[9:14pm] Bluestreak: I am too. The current cover is boring
[9:14pm] jokeefe: For new folk we are talking about replacing the cover of No Safe Harbor with this https://scontent.fbos1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/q81/s480x480/15109597_10210762634966480_6483162187233852808_n.jpg?oh=8f7ed0464ed08cfac5b84603fb0268bc&oe=58CBFC3C

[9:15pm] papegaai: Title: No Safe Harbor (at www.nosafeharbor.com)
[9:15pm] jokeefe: thanks
[9:16pm] Bosun: I would like it if we can decide on one or two point of contacts in the newly or reorganizing states.
[9:17pm] jokeefe: My only suggestion would be to include danah boyd in the Essays by … on the top back cover
[9:18pm] masslap joined the chat room.
[9:18pm] jokeefe: so any objection to recommend that we change the cover of No Safe Harbor from https://www.amazon.com/No-Safe-Harbor-United-States/dp/1468033999 to https://scontent.fbos1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/q81/s480x480/15109597_10210762634966480_6483162187233852808_n.jpg?oh=8f7ed0464ed08cfac5b84603fb0268bc&oe=58CBFC3C

[9:19pm] jokeefe: just cutting to the chase … 
[9:19pm] Bosun: Yes - what do we wish to discuss?
[9:19pm] jasonblack: If I might offer a left-field thought on the getting ppl up to speed point...how about a Pirate Party "Platform"...use something like drupal CMS with multisite...main USPP site would contain all reading material and other info and new 'child' sites could be created from it for state parties. kill 51 birds with one stone
[9:20pm] Bluestreak: Can we move on to a vote on the cover 1t?
[9:21pm] Bluestreak: Unofficial
[9:21pm] Bosun: Call the vote on the cover
[9:21pm] jokeefe: jasonblack - please join https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/pirate-it

[9:23pm] Mass left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 244 seconds)
[9:23pm] Sayyida: yes

[9:23pm] Sayyida: nope never mind

[9:28pm] Bluestreak: USPP yes
[9:30pm] jokeefe: I can create aliases for each state
[9:30pm] Bosun: OK - What state do we have and in what shape?
[9:31pm] Bosun: I know ... look at the friggin map
[9:31pm] jokeefe: CA, MA, WI are most active
[9:31pm] Marty: NY here, we're looking for someone to step in to run the state party (neither Jay nor I can do it due to work/time constraints)
[9:31pm] jokeefe: ME is getting sped up
[9:31pm] Bosun: cool
[9:32pm] Bosun: feels more like a national party
[9:32pm] roarde: Anyone know of activity in GA? K`tetch said it was dormant a couple of weeks ago, and I've not heard differently.
[9:32pm] jokeefe: NY, GA, FL, WA, OR, NH, MD, AZ could use some help
[9:32pm] Bosun: I will look into DC incorporation so we can act like the big parties
[9:32pm] jokeefe: K`Tetch offered to be a contact
[9:32pm] glompix: i'm in WA and would lov to chip in but i'm not sure where would be best to start
[9:32pm] roarde: ah
[9:32pm] jokeefe: DC was active a while ago
[9:32pm] glompix: it woudl be cool if we had a jira or something to organize on
[9:33pm] disrpt: IL (Chicago) here. Not clear how I can help but want to. A bit of a daunting task it seems so playbook would be good.
[9:33pm] glompix: collectively template out what each state could do as a starting point
[9:33pm] Bosun: Be nice to have someone act as registered agent in DC
[9:33pm] Bluestreak: roarde are you in GA?
[9:33pm] jokeefe: glompix, check out https://wiki.pirate-party.us/Washington
[9:33pm] papegaai: Title: Washington - United States Pirate Party (at wiki.pirate-party.us)

[9:34pm] roarde: I am Bluestreak, but severely time-and-location constrained. Can't regularly answer queries.
[9:34pm] jokeefe: glompix, suggest starting with the Facebook page/group and twitter
[9:34pm] glompix: amazing, thanks
[9:34pm] jokeefe: glompix, did you sign up at crew.uspirates.org ?
[9:34pm] glompix: think so
[9:35pm] jokeefe: Good
[9:35pm] disrpt: what's better? hello@ alias or crew.uspirates.org?
[9:35pm] jokeefe: both
[9:36pm] Bosun: I want to delegate states to at least one point of contact on crew
[9:36pm] jokeefe: agreed
[9:36pm] Bosun: crew.uspirates.org - our CiviCRM
[9:36pm] jokeefe: that is where it should be
[9:36pm] jokeefe: email alias won’t scale
[9:37pm] jokeefe: glompix, can help reach out to some folks there, would appreciate it if you emailed hellp@pirate-pirate.us and I will introduce
[9:37pm] Bluestreak: roarde that is how I started out. Don;t be afraid to just step up and forgive yourself for not always getting abck to ppl
[9:37pm] Bosun: Yes and states should run their own list
[9:37pm] Bosun: or lists - with whatever the feel good with
[9:37pm] jokeefe: As Falkvinge says: We make decisions. We aren’t afraid to try out new things, new ways to shape opinion and drive the public debate. We make decisions without asking anybody’s permission, and we stand for them. Sometimes, things go wrong. It’s always okay to make a mistake in the Pirate Party, as long as one is capable of learning from that mistake. Here’s where the famous “three-pirate rule” comes into play: if three self-identified pirates are in agreement that some kind of activism is beneficial to the party, they have authority to act in the party’s name. They can even be reimbursed for expenses related to such activism, as long as it is reasonable (wood sticks, glue, and paint are reasonable; computer equipment and jumbotrons are not).

[9:37pm] papegaai: Title: We need you! Here are some tools! | United States Pirate Party (at blog.pirate-party.us)

[9:38pm] roarde: i do drudge work very willingly, btw
[9:38pm] Bosun: 'm not big on hard and fast rules
[9:39pm] Sayyida: If any data entry is needed i am game
[9:39pm] jokeefe: thanks
[9:40pm] Bosun: OK can we get Maine on the map?
[9:40pm] Bluestreak: roarde try joining our wokring group if you use FB? Ask for GA support there?
[9:40pm] jokeefe: So 1) Reach out to old state contacts
[9:40pm] roarde: i never, ever use FB
[9:41pm] jokeefe: I hear you
[9:41pm] Bluestreak: OK np
[9:41pm] Bosun: Grandma uses FB - it is a good outreach tool
[9:41pm] jokeefe: Bluestreak would be happy to help reach out to pages/groups 
[9:42pm] jokeefe: 2) Create state party contact aliases
[9:42pm] Bosun: We could use someone on Reddit
[9:42pm] jokeefe: 3) Update get organized documents
[9:42pm] jokeefe: 4) Get email announce list up
[9:43pm] jokeefe: Should we have a discussion list separate from SAB or pirate-it or platform@
[9:43pm] jokeefe: ?
[9:43pm] roarde: btw: SAB?
[9:43pm] Bluestreak: State Asdvicosry board
[9:43pm] jokeefe: State contacts email list
[9:43pm] jokeefe: Perhaps discuss@ ?
[9:44pm] Bosun: I hate the platform issue
[9:44pm] Bluestreak: and yes, Jamie we totally should
[9:44pm] Bluestreak: Can you set that up?
[9:45pm] Bluestreak: SAB is for state memebers, but what about interested people that haven't got a party yet?
[9:45pm] jokeefe: yes
[9:45pm] Bluestreak: OK joe?
[9:46pm] jokeefe: Having a defined code of conduct would hopefully keep trolling down - https://masspirates.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct
[9:46pm] papegaai: Title: Code of Conduct - Mass Pirate Wiki (at masspirates.org)
[9:46pm] jokeefe: just an idea
[9:46pm] Bosun: I am only concerned about too much noise.
[9:46pm] jokeefe: Yeah, once it gets too large, should divide into states
[9:47pm] Bosun: OK  open it up, let's see what happens - we should subdivide if it gets crazy
[9:48pm] Bluestreak: what is the hello pirate email pls?
[9:48pm] Bluestreak: writing a post
[9:48pm] Bosun: Can we wrap this  up in 22 minutes?
[9:48pm] Bluestreak: Sure np

[9:52pm] Bosun: we all agree sep list?
[9:52pm] jokeefe: Lets expand SAB, but get a handle on who is a state rep. with voting privs.
[9:52pm] jokeefe: SAB is too quiet 
[9:52pm] Bluestreak: I defer to the group
[9:53pm] Bosun: How about rule of three - three in a state who agree to shoe up at the meeting gives the state a vote
[9:54pm] Bosun: show ...
[9:54pm] Sayyida: sounds right
[9:54pm] Bosun: State delegates must agree on their rep.

[9:59pm] Bluestreak: Are you volunteering masslap?
