[Stephen Michael Kellat <skellat@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 (08:01:23 PM) skellat: Alrighty. Ready and waiting for the start.
 (08:01:49 PM) jacob: /here
 (08:02:54 PM) Unit193: I'm here for a bit...
 (08:07:50 PM) Cheri703: ok, so I have no idea if gilbert__ is around, 
but I guess I can sort of get things started
 (08:09:06 PM) Cheri703: can anyone else who is here for the meeting 
pipe up so we can see who all is around?
 (08:10:25 PM) ***BiosElement waves
 (08:10:25 PM) Cheri703: hmm, ok
 (08:10:32 PM) BiosElement: Real popular meeting
 (08:10:39 PM) jacob: :P
 (08:10:45 PM) jgould [~jgould@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] 
entered the room.
 (08:11:38 PM) Cheri703: Well, first order of business was to sort of 
get a spot check on IF there are actually reloco leads, and if various 
areas are having ubuntu-hours and meetups and such
 (08:12:06 PM) Cheri703: it looks like canthus13 and I are the only 
reloco leads here (if he's around), so I can't really ask any of the 
listed ones
 (08:12:27 PM) Cheri703: Anyone who is here and in an area that does 
NOT have a lead/reloco happening?
 (08:12:42 PM) jacob: maybe ping them over email, check up on things 
and whatnot
 (08:12:55 PM) Cheri703: yeah, will do, just was hoping to catch them 
here :)
 (08:13:55 PM) canthus13: I'm kind of around.
 (08:14:31 PM) Cheri703: np
 (08:14:33 PM) Cheri703: ok, moving on: Hopefully within the next month 
or so, there will be some changes coming to the website. Among the 
planned changes are making it more "newbie friendly" new to the LoCo at 
least. If anyone has any suggestions for the site, please send them to 
the list or to me directly, as I'm going to be working on it.
 (08:15:39 PM) Cheri703: anyone have any thoughts/suggestions off the 
top of their head?
 (08:15:52 PM) Cheri703: things you'd like to see added/removed/changed?
 (08:16:23 PM) canthus13: Not really...
 (08:16:27 PM) Cheri703: ok
 (08:16:27 PM) ***canthus13 eyeballs the site.
 (08:16:28 PM) skellat: We need to integrate the forum more easily into 
the site
 (08:16:43 PM) Cheri703: thank you skellat, I knew there was something 
about forums that I wanted to mention...
 (08:17:18 PM) canthus13: That would be nice.... of course, if more 
people frequent the forum, we'll get yelled at for being off-topic. :)
 (08:17:30 PM) Cheri703: I want to solicit the list (and probably the 
forum) for someone to be a liaison between the list and the forum. 
Someone who can sort of update between the two, if that makes sense
 (08:18:00 PM) Cheri703: even a "this week's new topics in the forum" 
email each week, or linking to the list archive or something
 (08:18:06 PM) Cheri703: just to keep things on the radar for both groups
 (08:18:11 PM) jacob: +1
 (08:18:17 PM) skellat: For that we need more than just the 
openbox-desktop thread active
 (08:18:20 PM) canthus13: The forum is pretty much dead.... I wonder if 
there is a way to pipe a weekly list digest to the forum, though...
 (08:18:52 PM) Cheri703: anyone want to jump in and take the lead on 
figuring out options for that?
 (08:18:52 PM) jacob: the forums used to have some really nice 
mailing-list <-> forum tunnel that would automatically crosspost, but 
that feature isn't returning soon
 (08:19:18 PM) jacob: not at least until the vB4 upgrade
 (08:19:21 PM) skellat: jacob: Why not?
 (08:19:48 PM) Unit193: I have seen IRC bots that update from forum 
posts... (Not what we need though...)
 (08:20:01 PM) jacob: skellat: software issues. it caused load 
problems, and I believe it's no longer maintained for vBulletin 3. would 
have to ask FC for details
 (08:21:05 PM) skellat: I suggest we defer action on the forums while 
the question is put to The Forum Council about software capabilities
 (08:21:28 PM) Cheri703: ok, skellat, would you take responsibility for 
asking the forum council?
 (08:21:46 PM) skellat: Cheri703: Yes. I'll copy the High Council on my 
query.
 (08:21:53 PM) Cheri703: ok, thanks
 (08:22:46 PM) jacob: ping me if you don't get a response on it; i'll 
poke some people
 (08:22:54 PM) skellat: jacob: Understood.
 (08:22:57 PM) Cheri703: so that is pretty much all I had as far as 
specific items to cover tonight. Any questions, comments, thoughts, 
suggestions from anyone about the LoCo in general?
 (08:23:22 PM) skellat: I will post the log to the forum, the list, and 
push a PDF down the podcast feed
 (08:23:31 PM) Cheri703: great, thanks skellat
 (08:23:54 PM) jacob: Cheri703: you mentioned redirecting some of the 
website to the wiki, anything for now? or hold on that a bit
 (08:24:14 PM) Cheri703: jacob: we can discuss that at some point when 
gilbert__ is around, he had thoughts on that
 (08:24:57 PM) Cheri703: I will give a quick update on the Mansfield 
ReLoCo: we have been having ubuntu hours every two weeks since January 
(pretty much), and we lately had a spike in attendance (thanks in large 
part to skrappjaw discovering us and bringing friends), and have had at 
least 5 people at the last several meetings, and more on occasion.
 (08:24:58 PM) jacob: sounds good
 (08:25:11 PM) jacob: good, good :)
 (08:26:17 PM) Cheri703: ok, if no one else has anything to share? I 
think that's it...
 (08:26:40 PM) jacob: and OLF news?
 (08:27:00 PM) jacob: i think itsafork was working on heading that up 
before, just curious if there's anything new
 (08:27:06 PM) Cheri703: I have no clue
 (08:27:14 PM) jacob: hehe
 (08:27:24 PM) Cheri703: I haven't spoken to itsafork for a while...I 
will make sure info gets posted to the list as we get updates
 (08:28:21 PM) Cheri703: ok, meeting adjourned :)
