Mar 16 21:04:06 <NomadOfNorad> David Hall, one of the other Florida PP reps. Mar 16 21:04:35 <DreadPirateDrew> reports? updates? other business? floor is open Mar 16 21:05:32 <Wanda-FL> I have a question for Ty Mar 16 21:06:00 <Ty--> Hi Mar 16 21:06:01 <Wanda-FL> Do you remember who set up the Florida website? Mar 16 21:06:06 <Ty--> V Mar 16 21:06:13 <Ty--> iirc Mar 16 21:06:14 <Wanda-FL> Alrighty, thank you Mar 16 21:07:36 <Ty--> I have a question about the conference in general for tickets. Is Darren here? Mar 16 21:07:55 <Wanda-FL> doesn't appear to be Mar 16 21:08:03 * pmchi (~u@9d4icj5rm277u.PirateIRC) has joined Mar 16 21:08:16 <Ty--> hi, pmchi Mar 16 21:08:28 <pmchi> Ahoy, sorry I’m late Mar 16 21:08:59 <Wanda-FL> Ahoy Mar 16 21:09:08 <Ty--> Don't apologize for being late. It took you this many years to be the perfect human being you are. Mar 16 21:09:17 <DreadPirateDrew> I am sure you can bring your question up in the signal chat Ty Mar 16 21:09:20 <pmchi> :) Mar 16 21:10:08 <NomadOfNorad> Brings to mind that quote from Lord of the Rings about how wizards are never late, they get there exactly when they mean to be. :D Mar 16 21:11:07 <Ty--> Well, sure, I'll ask there. Mar 16 21:11:15 <Ty--> So, I suppose moving on from that : ) Mar 16 21:12:14 <DreadPirateDrew> anything from you Mitch tonight? Mar 16 21:13:43 <pmchi> Nothing of note. Someone on Twitter expressed interest in forming an Alaskan Pirate Party, but expressed interest aside nothing Mar 16 21:14:44 <Wanda-FL> Good to hear interest I suppose Mar 16 21:15:09 <DreadPirateDrew> I do have a question for the group. have we had guests that are not members or alternates to the PNC here in the IRC? Mar 16 21:15:41 <Wanda-FL> I dont remember anyone in these meetings who was a non-regular as long as ive been here Mar 16 21:17:05 <NomadOfNorad> Well, anyone can come to the IRC and say things. Pretty sure I remember at least one of those around at least once. I was originally here as just an observer, for instance. Mar 16 21:17:30 <NomadOfNorad> Outside observer, I mean Mar 16 21:17:52 <Ty--> I believe that is the case, but it doesn't mean they participated. I remember there being more users in here. Mar 16 21:18:15 <NomadOfNorad> Yeah, this room used to be a lot more crowded with lurkers. Mar 16 21:18:47 <DreadPirateDrew> just brainstorming how to get more engagement. and I know the IRC can be a pain Mar 16 21:18:55 <Ty--> While we search for an alternate, is it possible we can lurk more often in here just for passerbys? Mar 16 21:19:43 <Ty--> I'm not trying to twist arms, I understand it can be a burden. I happen to have bouncer access. Mar 16 21:19:46 <Ty--> lol Mar 16 21:20:05 <NomadOfNorad> That said, I remember last meeting something mentioned about the prospect of having a bot linking this IRC and a channel on the official Discord server. Mar 16 21:20:16 <Ty--> Well Mar 16 21:20:42 <Ty--> There are three bots on Github for this, however you have to self host it. I don't know if I will have the capacity. Mar 16 21:20:48 <DreadPirateDrew> if there is a volunteer to be in here that would be cool. Mar 16 21:22:42 <Ty--> I can give it a few tests. but I am sure I will have to reach out to... maybe, se Dustin. Mar 16 21:22:49 <Ty--> He is our local coder : ) Mar 16 21:23:40 <Ty--> wait Mar 16 21:23:45 <Ty--> There's a small problem with this. Mar 16 21:24:01 <Ty--> If I were a non PNC member it could be 3-wheeled, but uh Mar 16 21:24:21 <Ty--> I'm a VC, and in order to operate a bot of that level I'd have to gain admin privs Mar 16 21:24:29 <Ty--> so, would this need a vote? Mar 16 21:25:20 <DreadPirateDrew> I cannot imagine that it should. and I doubt any of us would oppose it. Mar 16 21:26:03 <Ty--> alright. I'll get with the right people soon enough then. Mar 16 21:27:21 <DreadPirateDrew> if someone thinks we should vote, we can do that next week. Mar 16 21:27:57 <Ty--> That's all I have on it : ) Mar 16 21:28:16 <DreadPirateDrew> anything else tonight? Mar 16 21:28:31 <NomadOfNorad> So, a week to get all the info together and some ducks in a row. Sounds like a plan. Mar 16 21:30:26 <pmchi> Drew, I got something. I’ve been sitting on it all week Mar 16 21:30:36 <DreadPirateDrew> go ahead Mar 16 21:30:41 <pmchi> I wanted to say: if purchasing isn’t ownership, then piracy isn’t theft Mar 16 21:30:45 <pmchi> Motion to adjourn Mar 16 21:31:15 <DreadPirateDrew> any objections? Mar 16 21:31:33 <Wanda-FL> none here Mar 16 21:32:19 <DreadPirateDrew> well unless someone chimes in, we're adjourned Mar 16 21:32:36 <DreadPirateDrew> see you all next week in jitsi Mar 16 21:32:46 * NomadOfNorad nods nods nods. Mar 16 21:33:39 * Wanda-FL has quit (connection closed) Mar 16 21:36:23 * DreadPirateDrew has quit (Quit) Mar 16 23:37:55 * pmchi has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
