[15:06:58] <schestowitz[TR]> going to lurk, just wanted to say thank you for SoylentNews, an excellent site and source of insight (comments too). Please keep it going strong.

[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.
[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.
[15:12:55] <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.
[15:13:34] <not_kolie2> Anyways - sorry I can not attend today it couldn't have come at a worse time this month.
[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.
[15:22:58] <janrinok> requerdanos, will we have a quorum for today's meeting - or would it be best to cancel for this week?
[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
[15:24:24] <janrinok> who is chairing?
[15:25:03] <requerdanos> I assume it's cmn32480
[15:31:40] -!- halibut has quit [Quit: Timeout]
[15:35:21] <cmn32480> it is a holiday weekend in the US this week
[15:36:40] -!- halibut [halibut!~halibut@CanHazVHOST/halibut] has joined #governance
[15:39:11] <cmn32480> and, yes, I assume it is me as well.
[18:43:53] * janrinok I'm here

[20:23:44] -!- aristarchus [aristarchus!~aristarch@354-9-583-651.hosted-by-worldstream.net] has joined #governance
[20:25:37] * janrinok .... still here
[20:29:23] <mechanicjay> Never fear, I is here!
[20:29:55] <audioguy> badaboom!
[20:30:15] <janrinok> I was getting lonely
[20:31:50] <janrinok> ag - did you get some sleep?
[20:32:39] * Deucalion materialises
[20:32:47] <Deucalion> g'day all
[20:32:49] <janrinok> hi Deucalion
[20:32:57] <Deucalion> hi janrinok
[20:33:12] <audioguy> No. It is that thing where you cannot sleep because you are trying to sleep.
[20:33:28] <audioguy> TRying to sleep is too hard work. :-)
[20:33:58] <janrinok> if we don't start soon I will be showing you how easy it is....
[20:33:58] <audioguy> So have been up all night. Hoping for a short meeting. :-)
[20:34:23] <mechanicjay> we need a chair
[20:35:04] <janrinok> I've got a bed...
[20:35:11] <mechanicjay> How long do we have to wait for the professor to show up to class before we can just leave?
[20:35:47] <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
[20:36:10] <janrinok> give cmn32480 a few more minutes
[20:37:13] <janrinok> kolie will not be here. requerdanos will not be here
[20:37:41] <janrinok> Bytram, ping
[20:41:26] <mechanicjay> I'll wait till :45
[20:41:31] <janrinok> ok
[20:42:05] <audioguy> HaHa! Nobody really wants to be here right now :-)
[20:42:36] <audioguy> Why I hate time scheduled meetings
[20:42:47] <mechanicjay> I'm still trying to recover from yesterday
[20:42:59] <audioguy> Shall we discuss the 'Mission Statement' :-)
[20:43:35] <audioguy> We could just get in a big fight over it and break up.
[20:43:59] <janrinok> or go for a beer
[20:44:11] <audioguy> I'm still IN yesterday
[20:44:33] <janrinok> I'm only an hour or so from tomorrow
[20:44:36] <mechanicjay> lol -- I've literally seen committees at the university meet for months before they produce a mission statement for themselves.
[20:45:10] <mechanicjay> There's some notion of "quick someone is looking, appear busy" going on there.
[20:45:16] <audioguy> Let me guess, the 'feminist Theory' dept?
[20:45:33] <mechanicjay> As Vice Chair, I here by call this meeting to order.
[20:45:37] <mechanicjay> Let's take role
[20:45:41] * mechanicjay is here
[20:45:47] * Deucalion is here
[20:45:49] * janrinok here
[20:45:50] <audioguy> Not really here
[20:46:30] <janrinok> we do not appear to have a quorum
[20:47:25] <Deucalion> apologies were received before the meeting from kolie and requerdanos
[20:47:27] <mechanicjay> Indeed, I propose we adjorn until next Friday at whaterver:30 this is foryou.
[20:47:35] <Deucalion> seconded
[20:47:39] <janrinok> seconded
[20:47:47] <mechanicjay> Great, I'll post to the meta.
[20:47:50] <mechanicjay> Have a great weekend folks.
[20:47:51] * janrinok says Aye
[20:48:10] <audioguy> Yayyyyy!
[20:48:16] <Deucalion> MmmHmm
[20:48:38] <audioguy> Best meeting EVER!
[20:48:48] <janrinok> Deucalion, ?
[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
[20:49:02] <Deucalion> janrinok, ?
[20:49:13] <janrinok> you MmmHmm'ed
[20:49:24] <Deucalion> Oh - Aye
[20:49:47] <Deucalion> I though mechanicjay already adjourned the meeting at that point
[20:49:59] <janrinok> probably
[20:50:16] <mechanicjay> Sorry, I should have waited for all the ayes
[20:50:31] <janrinok> same place, same time, next week...
[20:53:50] <Fnord666> Sorry all. God distracted by a work issue.
[20:54:16] <janrinok> we've just adjourned until next week....
[20:54:23] <Fnord666> Got, not God
[20:54:32] <Fnord666> I see that.
[21:02:33] <cmn32480> My apologies.
[21:02:41] <cmn32480> I had a plumbing emergency
[21:03:19] <janrinok> can't be helped - life happens
[21:03:29] <cmn32480> and the bathtub wouldn't drain...
[21:03:44] <cmn32480> damn kids and their long hair.
[21:04:22] <janrinok> not had that problem for quite a while
[21:04:32] <cmn32480> then I went bald...
[21:04:44] <janrinok> I have very short hair
[21:04:56] <cmn32480> I can grow all I want from my ears down.
[21:05:16] <janrinok> lol
[21:05:26] <cmn32480> anyway... get some rest.
[21:05:32] <janrinok> thx
[21:05:32] <cmn32480> I'm sure we'll be in touch
[21:05:43] <janrinok> we will indeed
[21:06:39] <chromas> Do we need a gavel bot?
[21:06:47] <chromas> =pound
[21:08:37] <Deucalion> definitely :D
[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
[21:10:31] -!- aristarchus has quit [Quit: Client closed]
[21:10:53] <janrinok> lol
[21:12:00] <Deucalion> we could name it Diebold - but then who would trust such a thing not to be rigged?
[21:30:28] <Fnord666> What? How could anything based on Windows CE not be completely trustworthy?
[21:34:35] <Fnord666> Or is it Windows ME?
[21:41:09] * Bytram says I am here
[21:41:47] <Deucalion> Hi Bytram how are you doing?
[21:42:46] <Bytram> it's been one of those days. Oh well!
[21:42:59] <Bytram> You?
[21:43:28] <Deucalion> Doing OK. Lazy day off today thankfully
[21:43:57] <Bytram> Good for YOU!!
[21:44:51] * Bytram catches up on scroll-back
[21:50:25] <not_kolie2> o/
[21:50:55] <not_kolie2> oldschool diebold ran on windows CE
[21:51:04] <not_kolie2> They do win 10 now.
[21:57:45] -!- mrpg has quit [Quit: Client closed]
[22:17:50] <Bytram> I'm back :)
[22:18:14] <Deucalion> Thought you got lost in the scroll-back :)
[22:18:53] <Bytram> now to catch up on other back ... oh
[22:19:28] <Bytram> Interesting! No argument here :)
[22:21:07] <Deucalion> When are there ever arguments here?
[22:21:22] <Bytram> Deucalion: You're still up?!
[22:21:46] <Deucalion> Only 11.20pm here
[22:22:07] <Bytram> Oh, OK.+
[22:22:17] <Deucalion> Another day off tomorrow too :D
[22:22:51] <Deucalion> Watching some engine building stuff on the YT
[22:22:54] <Bytram> Woopee!+++
[22:23:01] <not_kolie2> what kind of engines
[22:23:24] <Bytram> steam?
[22:23:29] <Deucalion> Current viewing is a barra
[22:24:39] <Bytram> barra... cuda?
[22:26:58] <Deucalion> that's a good track. incredible vocal range
[22:28:08] <Bytram> wasn't sure u would catch the reference. <grin>
[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

[22:34:26] <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.
[22:43:04] <Deucalion> A close call. Would you have rushed up and stumbled out some tongue tied words had they still been there?
[22:45:44] <chromas> "let me take this plate off your hands, but can you sign it first?"
[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
[22:49:28] <chromas> Lol
[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
[22:50:00] <chromas> Now you could probably spray it with a shallac and make one of those resin cubes
[22:50:34] <Deucalion> LOL. We've advanced so far over the decades
[22:50:35] <chromas> Ooh good idea. NFT celeb scraps
[22:51:58] <Bytram> Nah. I knew that would happen, so I would just have peaked in dining room and ogled
