21:08 < davidd> ow bedtime again
21:08 < srevilak> js0000: I'm not sure about whiteboard.

21:09 < Bluestreak> (Daycare)

21:16 < Bluestreak> I will be there for dinner after, if not sooner.
21:16 < srevilak> I'm adding a setup list to
https://piratenpad.de/p/2015PirateConSiteDetails
21:17 < srevilak> list of setup tasks
21:17 < js0000> prolly as early as people can get there is good ...
21:17 < js0000> there's a lot of set up
21:17 < Bluestreak> AHOY
21:17 < jokeefe> ahoy noe!
21:17 < srevilak> js0000: yes, lot's to do :)
21:17 < srevilak> Hi noe
21:18 < srevilak> We're looking at
https://piratenpad.de/p/2015PirateConSiteDetails
21:18 < noe> ahoy!
21:18 < noe> I just picked up a shotgun mic with stand as well as a
vixia from SCATV for Saturday
21:18 < srevilak> noe: thx!
21:19 < noe> (this is the setup we used for the Somerville Public
Library Cryptoparty)
21:19 < srevilak> oh, very good
21:19 < noe> I forgot to get the professional headphones, but can monitor
using in-ears
21:19 < srevilak> Will you need hard drive space?
21:20 < srevilak> LMK if so, I can bring a portable drive
21:20 < noe> I'll be using an SD card, 32 GB should be more than enough
for the day, I think.
21:20 < srevilak> ok
21:20 < js0000> noe: i have some noise cancelling headphones if it
will help
21:20 < noe> js0000: I think it will be okay
21:21 < noe> Its mostly just to make sure the camera is recording audio
21:22 < jokeefe> I have noise cancelling headphones if you want, noe
21:22 < jokeefe> nevermind, js0000 beat me to it
21:22 < noe> LOL
21:22 < js0000> hahaha
21:22 < noe> Feel free to bring them if you remember along with the
other things you are both bringing
21:22 * js0000 noise cancelling headphones cancelled out jokeefe
21:23 < jokeefe> lol
21:23 < noe> speaking of, when are people setting up in the space?
I intend to come early in the morning . . . but how early is too early?
21:23 < js0000> steve said 9AM and he has the key
21:24 < srevilak> There's a bunch to set up, but I think we'll have a
good crowd
21:24 < Bluestreak> I am so glad you are going to be able to get there
early!
21:24 < srevilak> See y'all at 9am :)
21:24 < noe> :D
21:24 < srevilak> anything else piratecon related?
21:24 < Techrev> Oh, hi, I'm in shut up and listen so I can learn
important stuff mode >.<.
21:25 < Bluestreak> :-)
21:25 < jokeefe> Welcome, Techrev.
21:25 < srevilak> Techrev: will you be joining us at PirateCon?
21:26 < Techrev> Sadly, I don't think I can. We were, actually, supposed
to be in Florida right now - but that trip went so horribly that we're
now curled up in bed, safely at home, with our tails between our legs.
21:26 < noe> ONOZ
21:26 < Techrev> I really want to badly, though :/.
21:27 < srevilak> sorry to hear :(
21:27 < srevilak> Any objections to moving on?
21:27 < jokeefe> sorry, your trip got screwed up Techrev. Been there.
It is a huge pain.
21:27 < jokeefe> srevilak, you gathering the signups? I can do it if
you want.
21:28 < srevilak> jokeefe: if you could assemble a list, that'd be great!
21:28 < jokeefe> will do
21:28 < srevilak> I think we'll need list of paid + list of not paid
21:29 < jokeefe> agreed
21:29 < srevilak> Okay, on to CISA petition
21:29 < srevilak> aka
https://masspirates.org/crew/civicrm/petition/sign?sid=2&reset=1
21:30 < srevilak> Have 19 signers so far + draft of a cover letter to
use when submitting
21:30 < jokeefe> and if you haven’t signed, please do tonight
21:30 < srevilak> jokeefe: when were you planning to turn signatures in
(mind blanking)
21:31 < js0000> now 20
21:31 < noe> :D
21:31 < jokeefe> Yes, I can do that. Either in the morning or after 1pm
21:31 < noe> shared on FB and G+ . . .
21:33 < srevilak> Slightly related: Sen Warren came out against Fast
Track rather strongly. http://elizabethwarren.com/blog/you-cant-read-this
21:33 < srevilak> encouraging to see
21:33 < srevilak> hi Kendra
21:33 < Kendra> hi
21:33 < jokeefe> hi Kendra
21:33 < Bluestreak> ahoy
21:33 < Kendra> hi everybody
21:33 < srevilak>
https://masspirates.org/wiki/April_23rd,_2015_IRC_Meeting
21:34 < srevilak> We just finished discussing Piratecon, and started
on CISA
21:34 < js0000> hey kendra!
21:35 < noe> ahoy!
21:35 < jokeefe> Weird - https://www.markey.senate.gov/ is getting 403
21:35 < srevilak> Maybe that's a protest about TPP's intellectual property
provisions :)
21:36 < srevilak> "You're not allowed to see this"
21:36 < Bluestreak> �Safari can’t identify
21:36 < js0000> well, how much money did you give him ...
21:36 < js0000> apparently NOT ENOUGH!
21:36 < js0000> :-P
21:37 < srevilak> Do we still want to do the TPP petition, or is it too
late for that?
21:37 < jokeefe> http://www.senate.gov/ seems screwed up. no css and
the https got a cert failure as well
21:37 < jokeefe> I think calls are what is needed
21:38 < srevilak> Was thinking - something we can mention to folks @
conference
21:39 < srevilak> Anything else to discuss on CISA petition?
21:40 < jokeefe> post-mortem later
21:40 < Kendra> Maybe we can write something about both bills and send
it out together
21:42 < srevilak> We have
https://masspirates.org/blog/2015/04/18/stop-fast-track-in-congress/
21:42 < srevilak> and

21:45 < srevilak> We're going a crypto table, yes?
21:45 < noe> As far as I know I'll be at ptp.camp, but I'll check my
schedule for the 4/30 meeting
21:45 < jokeefe> yes, srevilak
21:46 < srevilak> who'll be there on 5/2, aside from noe?
21:46 < jokeefe> I might be able to head over to the meeting after work
21:46 < jokeefe> I will
21:46 < Kendra> I signed up for p2p camp and will be spekaing out about
police brutality and surveillance but would also like to demonstrate
jitsi if we do the crypto party
21:46 < srevilak> Kendra: awesome!
