qwazixo/20:04
DocScrutinizer05in 3 weeks you whouln't even have started with whatever tasks council has20:04
DocScrutinizer05all it needs is sufficent karma and an official application note sent to the ML20:05
keriothat's... more than the attention i can afford to give it, to be honest20:05
DocScrutinizer05tzzz20:06
keriothis is the last window to graduate in this year, i'm writing my thesis and i have very little time20:06
Win7MacMOIN!20:06
freemangordon_kerio: no more thumb for you20:06
DocScrutinizer05your application note to ML could be shorter and take less of your precious time than the posts you did in this very channel right now20:07
DocScrutinizer05after doing that you're suspended for 4 weeks20:07
DocScrutinizer05;-)20:08
kerioeeeh20:08
keriostill not going to do that20:08
keriounless we really have a shortage of candidates20:08
DocScrutinizer05shortage?20:08
DocScrutinizer05as I see it there's basically zero candidates yet20:09

Win7MacDoc?20:13
DocScrutinizer05http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1383844&postcount=2920:14
DocScrutinizer05when is nomination period ending?20:15
Win7Machollering and summoning U... ;)20:15
Win7Macno idea20:15
* chainsawbike is working on his karma...20:16
Win7Macthats always good20:16
DocScrutinizer05I'd love to see you as a candidate, chainsawbike20:17
DocScrutinizer05Woody14619: you prepared the vote? so you probably know about nomination period deadline (sth I can't do anymore, as elaborated in my post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1383764&postcount=27 )20:18
DocScrutinizer05(keeping track of dealines for example, that is)20:18
DocScrutinizer05chainsawbike: you might know20:19
Woody14619Actually I have not done that yet. :(  Been so busy w/ life & board stuff that slipped. :P Adding calendar alarm now for tomorrow afternoon to force a reminder.  Sorry.20:19
DocScrutinizer05I'm not available as a council candidate when none of the other candidates can track deadlines instead of me doing all that again20:21
DocScrutinizer05hi qwazix btw :-)20:22
qwazix:)20:22
DocScrutinizer05actually I'd want to see another candidate prodding me20:24
Woody14619To be fair, I'm not Council. ;)  But yes, I did commit to doing that.  Just have lots of important stuff on the table.  We have a holiday here next week, so work needs everything done before next Tues. :P20:24
Win7Macif Nominations for candidates opened Oct 21, last 1 week, gets extended by another 4 weeks, it should be Nov 25.20:24
DocScrutinizer05Woody14619: I've not been talking about you, if you thought I'd do20:25
Woody14619I'm likely traveling next week, but should have lots of spare time while bored visiting extended family. :)  (Must remember to take spare battery or charger pack...)20:25
Win7Macso ~2 days20:26
DocScrutinizer05ok, my statement: I'll be available for council when some of the other candidates asking me and tells me which other candidates are running and already psted to ML, and telling me till when *I* need to do the same20:27
Woody14619That's when nominations end, right?  And from that we have a week, then vote starts.  So vote should start 12/2 at earliest? I'm thinking  12/3-10?20:28
DocScrutinizer05since all that is exactly what *I* am NOT available for and able to do anymore20:28
DocScrutinizer05chemist posted an official announcement somewhere20:29
Woody14619Hmm. Will go hunt for that when I setup the page.  Hopefully he made it sticky in the forums.20:29
Win7Machttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=9171020:30
Woody14619But time frame wise, we still have time.20:30
Win7Mac^^20:30
DocScrutinizer05and any prodding me to run for council needs a co-candidate doing this and pointing me to that post, explaining to me what's the deadline I need to cope with20:30
Win7Macc'mon... Ijust did...20:30
DocScrutinizer05I'm afk. Busy. Highlight mee when you need me to comment on anything20:31
DocScrutinizer05Win7Mac: the emphasis is on **co-candidate**20:31
Woody14619K, so 12/8-15, that works.20:31
Win7Maci know, just don't be so crude... ;)20:32
DocScrutinizer05I'm NOT going to get talked into a thrid term by 30 or 40 users who are happy to do that but won't help in council once I'm in duty again20:32
DocScrutinizer05so unless any co-candidate demonstrates s/he is willing to take the responsibility so I won't have to... I'm not available20:33
Woody14619Frankly, I'd ask you, but I'd rather you not be.  You have too many hats on already, frankly.  (Says the man with a room full of hat boxes... I know...)20:34
DocScrutinizer05so:20:34
DocScrutinizer05ok, my statement: I'll be available for council when some of the other candidates asking me and tells me which other candidates are running and already psted to ML, and telling me till when *I* need to do the same, pointing me to the relevant posts20:34
DocScrutinizer05afk20:34
DocScrutinizer05o/20:34
Woody14619K, alarm is set.20:37
Woody14619News from Foundation side:  We have a bank account again.  Paypal should be setup and working in the near future.20:38
Win7Macmany thanks again Woody for taking care of all those issues20:38
Woody14619Nothing special or new from last week that concerns Council really, but there is activity.  Mundane stuff, like figuring out if/how to file proper tax forms, re-upping contracts (we're heading into out second year... crazy, I know..), etc.20:39
Win7Macwhat do you think about the prepaid credit card? does M&T provide those?20:40
Win7Macwould it be any good at all?20:40
Woody14619No need.  We have a card that had direct access, and I'm pretty sure I can make one-time-use numbers that link to the account off of that if needed.20:40
Woody14619s/had/has/20:40
Win7Macok, great20:41
Woody14619I have scanned materials in and will be formatting them properly and sending them to the rest of the Board this weekend.20:41
Win7Macthanks20:42
Win7MacFalk has to talk to another guy at IPHH to see what is needed from their side regarding continuing hosting20:42
Woody14619We should be able to just re-up that contract, if they're willing to do so.  The verbage in the existing one allows a simple re-up, where we both agree.  Our sending the small payment/fee to them is enough for us to accept it, them accepting/keeping it is acceptance on their side. :)20:44
Woody14619I'm really hoping they are.  Needing to deal with finding a new home and/or moving would essentially kill the tech staff right now.20:45
Win7MacI'm sure it will run smooth20:47
Woody14619We really need to setup a Board meeting soon though, and get a couple CR together to allow action on these items.20:47
Win7MacI had my try on finding a date...20:47
Win7MacI really don't know whats wrong with doodle20:48
Win7Mac...for some20:48
Woody14619Any time a potential contract is up it needs a CR to authorize it.  We can do 90% via e-mail/IRC.  The only thing we really need is a time where at least 3 of us can be on a phone call at the same time to confirm the choices.20:48
Woody14619(or Voip, or connect, or whatever..)20:49
Woody14619k... So I need to finish up work here, sooner the better.  Will be in contact over the weekend, so keep an eye on the e-mail Sat/Sun if you can.20:49
Woody14619o/20:49
Win7Macthanks again. o/20:50
qwazixWin7Mac, thanks for the tmo post21:38
DocScrutinizer05yeah, thanks everybody21:42
