[9:02pm] jokeefe: thanks
[9:02pm] jokeefe: sure
[9:02pm] pmchi: Mitchel Davilo, Chicago/ILPP
[9:02pm] jokeefe: James O’Keefe, Secretary, Massachusetts
[9:03pm] Joe: Joseph Onoroski, Treasurer, Massachusetts
[9:03pm] jokeefe: Anything to add to the agenda: https://wiki.uspirates.org/w/index.php?title=PNC_01/24/21
[9:03pm] papegaai: Title: PNC 01/24/21 - United States Pirate Party (at wiki.uspirates.org)
[9:03pm] jokeefe: Though we don’t have quorum, so not really a meeting, per se
[9:04pm] jokeefe: What about the idea of selecting organizers for a state.
[9:04pm] jokeefe: ?
[9:04pm] jokeefe: An intermediate step to membership
[9:04pm] ZachGibbens: Oh right, meeting time.
[9:04pm] jokeefe: that way we have one or more people listed as contacts for each state
[9:05pm] Korath: Frank Yanez, Oregon
[9:05pm] ZachGibbens: Zachariah Gibbens, US Citizen in Canada
[9:06pm] Olivia_ joined the chat room.
[9:07pm] jokeefe: welcome
[9:07pm] Olivia_: Olivia Kristiann, volunteer
[9:07pm] Olivia_: Sorry I'm late.
[9:07pm] pmchi: Welcome!
[9:08pm] Olivia_: Hope everyone is doing well!
[9:08pm] jokeefe: thanks! you too!
[9:09pm] pmchi: @jokeefe: how did you want to organize at the state level? Maybe recruitment by members via region?
[9:09pm] jokeefe: Anyhow, we have few organized states, that having contacts listed for each state would help people connect
[9:09pm] pmchi: Like where we already have organization, have those states be Pirate regional areas of recruitment
[9:10pm] pmchi: MA overseeing New England, IL oversees the Midwest, etc
[9:10pm] jokeefe: that is a good idea too. MA could concentrate on New England, certainly.
[9:11pm] Olivia_: Yari in California overseeing the West coast?
[9:11pm] pmchi: ^^ exactly
[9:11pm] jokeefe: Poor Yari
[9:11pm] jokeefe: We have people who signed up at crew.uspirates.org, but haven’t been organized, so letting a state organizer contact them would help.
[9:11pm] Korath: So there will be regional conferences of pirate parties?
[9:12pm] Olivia_: We have new people!  I'm reading the minutes now what I missed.
[9:13pm] pmchi: Korath: to get the organization process going. Just means Oregon won’t have to worry about getting Indiana off the ground
[9:13pm] Korath: I have a hard time seeing a pirate party in Indiana
[9:14pm] Korath: makes sense that so far the parties have been in New England/West Coast
[9:14pm] Olivia_: Do they have the Discord so to meet and possibly organize?  I'll finally join this week after I couldn't for months losing my account.
[9:14pm] Olivia_: California is just restarting again after however many years not being active.
[9:15pm] yari joined the chat room.
[9:15pm] jokeefe: Encouraging people to join the discord server would be good
[9:15pm] jokeefe: ahoy yari
[9:15pm] yari: shoy
[9:15pm] yari: ahoy
[9:15pm] pmchi: I can’t see a state where a pirate party wouldn’t be welcomed. Indiana is a tougher sell, but I think support from every state isn’t impossible
[9:15pm] yari: Rose Klein, California
[9:16pm] yari: We still in meeting?
[9:16pm] pmchi: Also saw someone made ILPP a Twitter, shout out to whoever that was
[9:16pm] Korath: Discord is honestly the best way to recruit people. If the US Pirate Party Discord makes partnerships with other Political/Technology servers on discord for promoting its platform that would be excellent.
[9:16pm] jokeefe: Created this permanent link: https://discord.com/invite/HRPaPWMT4y
[9:16pm] papegaai: Title: US Pirate Party (at discord.com)
[9:16pm] jokeefe: Just talking yari
[9:16pm] yari: okay
[9:17pm] pmchi: Was anyone able to get the access to the USPP handle?
