21:08 < srevilak> You're welcome to any footage you'd like
21:09 < srevilak> but general idea for budget planning: what do we want to
        spend money on in 2015, how much do we need, how much do we need to raise
21:10 < srevilak> So, priorities, priorities.  And a bit of arithmetic
21:10 < Igel> yeathe planning wiki is interesting
21:11 < srevilak> https://masspirates.org/wiki/Planning_and_Year_Reviews

21:32 < noe> how is the meeting going?
21:32 < srevilak>
        https://masspirates.org/wiki/December_11th,_2014_IRC_Meeting
21:33 < srevilak> we've mostly been chatting about 31c3
21:33 < srevilak> 31st chaos computer conference, held in Hamburg
21:34 < noe> very cool.
21:34 < Igel> yea.. im not much of a budget/planning talker heh..
21:34 < srevilak> Igel: but you're a good hacker :)
21:34 < srevilak> noe: anything of note on SCATV?
21:34 < noe> I should mention that if people have net neutrality vids
        or articles they want on the Monday SCATV show, they can email it to me
        at noeseek@gmail.com
21:35 < noe> (votenoelani is not fwd-ing to me yet)
21:36 < noe> I will probably prerecord things over the weekend and get
        everything live to tape for Monday.
21:37 < srevilak> noe: I'll try to send a few things.  Though I might
        not have anything you don't already know about
21:38 < Igel> ooh cool
21:38 < srevilak> noe: will scatv make the show available on their
        web site?  (For those of us who don't have cable)
21:38 < noe> We have had several contributors, but the more the merrier!
21:39 < noe> SCATV generally takes a week to a month on that, so I
        will try to reformat our program and upload it to a YouTube channel for
        general dissemination.
21:39 < srevilak> cool, thx
21:40 < noe> Incidentally, SCATV is kind of fun, the set we'll be using
        has robot cameras, ability to go live to different places and other
        stuff I haven't figured out yet.
21:40 < srevilak> sounds nice
21:40 < Igel> nice yea
21:41 < noe> plus, we can borrow cams for protests and such, I intend
        to borrow a cam for Arisia and do some filming for the show.
21:41 < noe> Were there any major planning things we had to talk about
        today?
21:42 < Igel> next week planning was bumped to another date?
21:42 < srevilak> noe: meeting on the 13th is postponed
21:42 < Igel> because everyone is out. i think..
