[23:06:48] <Bytram> audioguy: go back to bed
[23:05:40] -!- audioguy [audioguy!~audioguy@Soylent/Staff/Developer/audioguy] has joined #governance
[22:51:58] <Bytram> Nah. I knew that would happen, so I would just have peaked in dining room and ogled
[22:50:35] <chromas> Ooh good idea. NFT celeb scraps
[22:50:34] <Deucalion> LOL. We've advanced so far over the decades
[22:50:00] <chromas> Now you could probably spray it with a shallac and make one of those resin cubes
[22:49:42] <Deucalion> These days you could then take a photo of it and sell a limited edition NFT release.... worth MEEELLIONS on the blockchain
[22:49:28] <chromas> Lol
[22:47:52] <Deucalion> Would be unique if they signed it in the leftover sauce on the plate with their finger and you put in the blast freezer quick smart then kept it frozen for decades :D
[22:45:44] <chromas> "let me take this plate off your hands, but can you sign it first?"
[22:43:04] <Deucalion> A close call. Would you have rushed up and stumbled out some tongue tied words had they still been there?
[22:34:26] <Bytram> Almost saw Ann & Nancy in person as a teenager. They played a show in a nearby venue. Went to dinner at the restaurant I worked at washing dishes. One of the wait-staff came in and said "Guess who I saw"? But they had already left by that time.

[22:30:05] <Deucalion> have plenty of Heart in my driving music library - I do a lot of driving so I get to listen to lots of music
[22:28:08] <Bytram> wasn't sure u would catch the reference. <grin>
[22:26:58] <Deucalion> that's a good track. incredible vocal range
[22:24:39] <Bytram> barra... cuda?
[22:23:29] <Deucalion> Current viewing is a barra
[22:23:24] <Bytram> steam?
[22:23:01] <not_kolie2> what kind of engines
[22:22:54] <Bytram> Woopee!+++
[22:22:51] <Deucalion> Watching some engine building stuff on the YT
[22:22:17] <Deucalion> Another day off tomorrow too :D
[22:22:07] <Bytram> Oh, OK.+
[22:21:46] <Deucalion> Only 11.20pm here
[22:21:22] <Bytram> Deucalion: You're still up?!
[22:21:07] <Deucalion> When are there ever arguments here?
[22:19:28] <Bytram> Interesting! No argument here :)
[22:18:53] <Bytram> now to catch up on other back ... oh
[22:18:14] <Deucalion> Thought you got lost in the scroll-back :)
[22:17:50] <Bytram> I'm back :)

[21:44:51] * Bytram catches up on scroll-back
[21:43:57] <Bytram> Good for YOU!!
[21:43:28] <Deucalion> Doing OK. Lazy day off today thankfully
[21:42:59] <Bytram> You?
[21:42:46] <Bytram> it's been one of those days. Oh well!
[21:41:47] <Deucalion> Hi Bytram how are you doing?
[21:41:09] * Bytram says I am here
[21:34:35] <Fnord666> Or is it Windows ME?
[21:30:28] <Fnord666> What? How could anything based on Windows CE not be completely trustworthy?
[21:12:00] <Deucalion> we could name it Diebold - but then who would trust such a thing not to be rigged?
[21:10:53] <janrinok> lol
[21:10:31] -!- aristarchus has quit [Quit: Client closed]
[21:10:07] <chromas> A bot to track motions and stuff. Whenever a board member has time, he can pop in and =yea or =nay whatever items were proposed while he was out
[21:08:37] <Deucalion> definitely :D
[21:06:47] <chromas> =pound
[21:06:39] <chromas> Do we need a gavel bot?
[21:05:43] <janrinok> we will indeed
[21:05:32] <cmn32480> I'm sure we'll be in touch
[21:05:32] <janrinok> thx
[21:05:26] <cmn32480> anyway... get some rest.
[21:05:16] <janrinok> lol
[21:04:56] <cmn32480> I can grow all I want from my ears down.
[21:04:44] <janrinok> I have very short hair
[21:04:32] <cmn32480> then I went bald...
[21:04:22] <janrinok> not had that problem for quite a while
[21:03:44] <cmn32480> damn kids and their long hair.
[21:03:29] <cmn32480> and the bathtub wouldn't drain...
[21:03:19] <janrinok> can't be helped - life happens
[21:02:41] <cmn32480> I had a plumbing emergency
[21:02:33] <cmn32480> My apologies.
[20:54:32] <Fnord666> I see that.
[20:54:23] <Fnord666> Got, not God
[20:54:16] <janrinok> we've just adjourned until next week....
[20:53:50] <Fnord666> Sorry all. God distracted by a work issue.
[20:50:31] <janrinok> same place, same time, next week...
[20:50:16] <mechanicjay> Sorry, I should have waited for all the ayes
[20:49:59] <janrinok> probably
[20:49:47] <Deucalion> I though mechanicjay already adjourned the meeting at that point
[20:49:24] <Deucalion> Oh - Aye
[20:49:13] <janrinok> you MmmHmm'ed
[20:49:02] <Deucalion> janrinok, ?
[20:48:53] Deucalion changed topic of #governance to: SoylentNews Governance Committee - Next Meeting Friday Sept 8th 20:30 UTC | This channel IS logged and publicly displayed here https://logs.sylnt.us
[20:48:48] <janrinok> Deucalion, ?
[20:48:38] <audioguy> Best meeting EVER!
[20:48:16] <Deucalion> MmmHmm
[20:48:10] <audioguy> Yayyyyy!
[20:47:51] * janrinok says Aye
[20:47:50] <mechanicjay> Have a great weekend folks.
[20:47:47] <mechanicjay> Great, I'll post to the meta.
[20:47:39] <janrinok> seconded
[20:47:35] <Deucalion> seconded
[20:47:27] <mechanicjay> Indeed, I propose we adjorn until next Friday at whaterver:30 this is foryou.
[20:47:25] <Deucalion> apologies were received before the meeting from kolie and requerdanos
[20:46:30] <janrinok> we do not appear to have a quorum
[20:45:50] <audioguy> Not really here
[20:45:49] * janrinok here
[20:45:47] * Deucalion is here
[20:45:41] * mechanicjay is here
[20:45:37] <mechanicjay> Let's take role
[20:45:33] <mechanicjay> As Vice Chair, I here by call this meeting to order.
[20:45:16] <audioguy> Let me guess, the 'feminist Theory' dept?
[20:45:10] <mechanicjay> There's some notion of "quick someone is looking, appear busy" going on there.
[20:44:36] <mechanicjay> lol -- I've literally seen committees at the university meet for months before they produce a mission statement for themselves.
[20:44:33] <janrinok> I'm only an hour or so from tomorrow
[20:44:11] <audioguy> I'm still IN yesterday
[20:43:59] <janrinok> or go for a beer
[20:43:35] <audioguy> We could just get in a big fight over it and break up.
[20:42:59] <audioguy> Shall we discuss the 'Mission Statement' :-)
[20:42:47] <mechanicjay> I'm still trying to recover from yesterday
[20:42:36] <audioguy> Why I hate time scheduled meetings
[20:42:05] <audioguy> HaHa! Nobody really wants to be here right now :-)
[20:41:31] <janrinok> ok
[20:41:26] <mechanicjay> I'll wait till :45
[20:37:41] <janrinok> Bytram, ping
[20:37:13] <janrinok> kolie will not be here. requerdanos will not be here
[20:36:10] <janrinok> give cmn32480 a few more minutes
[20:35:47] <mechanicjay> I guess, as vice chair, I could call the meeting to order, take role, (which I think is currently at 4), declare we don't have a quorum and adjourn
[20:35:11] <mechanicjay> How long do we have to wait for the professor to show up to class before we can just leave?
[20:35:04] <janrinok> I've got a bed...
[20:34:23] <mechanicjay> we need a chair
[20:33:58] <audioguy> So have been up all night. Hoping for a short meeting. :-)
[20:33:58] <janrinok> if we don't start soon I will be showing you how easy it is....
[20:33:28] <audioguy> TRying to sleep is too hard work. :-)
[20:33:12] <audioguy> No. It is that thing where you cannot sleep because you are trying to sleep.
[20:32:57] <Deucalion> hi janrinok
[20:32:49] <janrinok> hi Deucalion
[20:32:47] <Deucalion> g'day all
[20:32:39] * Deucalion materialises
[20:31:50] <janrinok> ag - did you get some sleep?
[20:30:15] <janrinok> I was getting lonely
[20:29:55] <audioguy> badaboom!
[20:29:23] <mechanicjay> Never fear, I is here!
[20:25:37] * janrinok .... still here

[18:43:53] * janrinok I'm here

[15:35:21] <cmn32480> it is a holiday weekend in the US this week
[15:31:40] -!- halibut has quit [Quit: Timeout]
[15:25:03] <requerdanos> I assume it's cmn32480
[15:24:24] <janrinok> who is chairing?
[15:23:39] <requerdanos> five of nine is a quorum, so if kolie and I miss the meeting that's still seven out of nine, a comfortable quorum
[15:22:58] <janrinok> requerdanos, will we have a quorum for today's meeting - or would it be best to cancel for this week?
[15:18:01] <requerdanos> I also cannot make the meeting as I have an eye doctor's appointment that's tough to reschedule. I may come in late but can't be secretary today.
[15:13:34] <not_kolie2> Anyways - sorry I can not attend today it couldn't have come at a worse time this month.
[15:12:55] <not_kolie2> So pros/cons abound but if it's to be more representative and that is a direction we want to go towards - then it may make sense.
[15:12:32] <not_kolie2> I did want to discuss separatrix's deviations from what was done here typically - if there are merits to the system - I see it as more properly representing the communities concerns directly - the other let's staff more or less do as they wanted/need with community not necessarily voiced - but they are doing the stuff.
[15:10:41] <not_kolie2> I have been doing my best to make today but it's become clear I do not have the time to participate in today's conversation. I'll catch up from the notes.
