[9:17pm] Bosun: She said she neede moderator approval.
[9:17pm] Bosun: needed ..
[9:17pm] kusanagi: Okay, that's a minor issue - I don't have access to the list. Yes, my email is listed as admin, but any password resets don't come, which is really irritating
[9:18pm] jokeefe: DADA mail is weird.
[9:18pm] kusanagi: Clearly. lmao
[9:18pm] kusanagi: but I've tried for a bit of time now, and still no dice
[9:18pm] Bosun: I am a mailman man myself.
[9:19pm] jokeefe: which we need to move too.
[9:19pm] kusanagi: So it might be time to migrate to a new list?
[9:19pm] jokeefe: Yes
[9:19pm] kusanagi: I'm sad about losing the SAB, but not that sad.

[9:19pm] HIPP left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
[9:19pm] HIPP joined the chat room.
[9:20pm] kusanagi: Yeah, sort of. It's a lot of history. But it'll be fine.
[9:20pm] kusanagi: For those using the gateway, consider looking into a stable IRC client
[9:20pm] kusanagi: hexChat is one I recommend
[9:21pm] jokeefe: yes, webclient has issues unfortunately
[9:21pm] kusanagi: So yeah, new mailing list is a thing y'all should handle
[9:21pm] Joe: On mobile, Daddy pirat3 duties
[9:21pm] Bosun: I hope that does not include who is in front of the keyboard.
[9:21pm] kusanagi: They make mobile IRC clients too! lol
[9:22pm] Joe: Thanks, I will look in to it.
[9:22pm] roarde: What's a good client for iphone, android?
[9:22pm] Bosun: Android and Apple
[9:22pm] kusanagi: AndIRC was good when I used it.
[9:22pm] kusanagi: roarde, identify for the record please
[9:22pm] HIPP: there’s mobile irc , joe
[9:22pm] kusanagi: AndIRC is Android, I don't have one for Apple
[9:23pm] roarde: Hi, I'm an interloper. I'll remember not to comment during meetings. For now, please forget I exist.
[9:23pm] HIPP: oh someone said that.
[9:23pm] jokeefe: Colloquy is pretty good for apple
[9:23pm] jokeefe: no worries roarde
[9:23pm] kusanagi: thank you roarde - don't mean to be a jerk, but rules are rules
[9:23pm] Bosun: http://www.irchelp.org/clients/mobile/ios/
[9:23pm] papegaai: Title: IRCHelp.org — iOS IRC Clients (at www.irchelp.org)
[9:24pm] yari: So - ... I know CA is not a member state and is still just an observer, but wondering if we might want to look into forming some sort of subcommittee for recruiting new states/members?
[9:24pm] jokeefe: an outreach committee would be good
[9:24pm] Sayyida: Section 2: State Eligibility
[9:24pm] Sayyida: In order to be eligible to send Representatives to the PNC, a state must:
[9:24pm] Sayyida: Be home to a Pirate Party which is actively attempting to grow.
[9:24pm] Sayyida: Adhere to the Core Values.
[9:24pm] Sayyida: Appoint one Primary Representative and at least one Alternate Representative, both of whom must be active members of the state’s Pirate Party.
[9:24pm] Sayyida: Regularly send a Representative to attend PNC meetings.
[9:25pm] Sayyida: Maintain an active web presence with an easy method of contact by prospective members.
[9:25pm] jokeefe: we have many people on our mailing list we need to reach out to
[9:25pm] HIPP: Great idea, yari
[9:25pm] Sayyida: Apply for Representation, as set forth in Art. III §3.
[9:25pm] Sayyida: Ratify the PNC Bylaws
[9:25pm] kusanagi: Honestly, most of the mailing list doesn't respond
[9:25pm] kusanagi: a lot of people who are no longer involved/wish to be involved are on it
[9:25pm] jokeefe: SAB mailing list or crew
[9:25pm] jokeefe: ?
[9:25pm] kusanagi: both, really.
[9:25pm] kusanagi: Crew is outdated at this point, iirc
[9:25pm] Bosun: Yes we need to cull our list.
[9:26pm] yari: That doesn't mean we should scrap it - but we should update it
[9:26pm] jokeefe: didn’t think we ever emailed crew.
[9:26pm] kusanagi: I did
[9:26pm] kusanagi: When I was working on that whole thing, emails were sent out
[9:26pm] Joe left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
[9:26pm] kusanagi: No one really responded, but that's possibly because it went to spam
[9:26pm] Joe joined the chat room.
[9:26pm] Bosun: Yes it sends emails.
[9:26pm] HIPP: def update, yari
[9:26pm] kusanagi: yari, right, that's my hope for crew
[9:27pm] kusanagi: SAB honestly I wouldn't worry about
[9:27pm] kusanagi: But that would mean more SM management
[9:27pm] yari: Re: outreach, could we make a group now? Either way I'd like to be a part of it
[9:27pm] kusanagi: and more activity on those channels
[9:28pm] Bosun: Yep.
[9:28pm] jokeefe: We had have issues with running into spam filters
[9:28pm] jokeefe: Direct emails might work
[9:28pm] HIPP: i would like to help as well, yari
[9:28pm] kusanagi: That's possible
[9:28pm] HIPP: re: outreach
