			20:59 < srevilak> hi js0000

			21:04 < srevilak> hi Kendra

			21:12 < srevilak> hi igel
			21:12 < igel> william fleurant, arlington ma
			21:12 < srevilak> Steve Revilak, Arlington, MA
			21:13 < igel> how goes it?
			21:13 < igel> just read jokeefe's email
			21:13 < srevilak> not bad. Lot of fun playing with civi this weekend
			21:14 < srevilak> quickly assembled agenda at
			https://masspirates.org/wiki/August_31st,_2015_IRC_Meeting
			21:21 < igel> welp, i think i got a sticker/media person re: todo/tasks
			21:23 < srevilak> that's excellent, thanks!
			21:23 < igel> s'mazing the voters of CA voted -down- the GMO vote (like
			last year?)
			21:24 < js0000> johnny saylor wonderful waltham
			21:24 < srevilak> igel: hadn't heard about that one
			21:24 < js0000> lots of entertainment/propaganda professionals in CA
			21:25 < js0000> pretty depressing though ...
			21:25 < igel> yea... it was to (sorta the same topic) change the labeling
			on their food..
			21:25 < igel>
			http://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_37,_Mandatory_Labeling_of_Genetically_Engineered_Food_%282012%29
			21:25 < igel> California Proposition 37, Mandatory Labeling of Genetically
			Engineered Food (2012)
			21:26 < srevilak> Speaking of which,
			https://www.rt.com/usa/313806-monsanto-roundup-kidney-damage/
			21:26 < igel> how can this not pass?!?
			21:27 < srevilak> study published in UK, Italy France. I doubt it would
			ever have been published in US, at least not w/o a big lawsuit
			21:27 < js0000> "what's good for business is good for the country"
			21:28 < js0000> or whatever is left of it
			21:29 < js0000> sorry- will try to hold cynicism in check for rest of chat
			21:29 < srevilak> igel: was that a 2012 vote?
			21:29 < igel> hehe nah -- i haven't heard an argument as close to that
			one js
			21:29 < igel> i guess it was steve
			21:30 < igel> i thought it was like damn.. last year..
			21:30 < srevilak> I was going to say, I saw a 2012 vote that looked
			pretty close in terms of yes/no percentages
			21:30 < srevilak> :)
			21:31 < igel> marijuana in mass, heh right?
			21:31 < srevilak> igel: anything to wind down the war on drugs is a
			good thing
			21:32 < srevilak> since the three of us are here, shall we talk shop
			for a bit? Or, do you guys feel like we lack a quorum?
			21:32 < js0000> no- it's time
			21:32 < js0000> let's do the freakin meeting ... right?
			21:32 < srevilak> Ok, starting at the top:
			21:32 < srevilak> $80 charity disgorgement
			21:33 < js0000> what's that?
			21:33 < srevilak> Someone made a donation, but we discovered she didn't
			provide her real name
			21:33 < js0000> so we need to give it back?
			21:33 < js0000> i guess that's disgorgement ...
			21:33 < srevilak> She won't accept it back; we'd have to give her a check,
			which would require her to give her real name
			21:34 < js0000> jeez ...
			21:34 < igel> pay to in cash?
			21:34 < srevilak> this contributor asked us to donate to a charity for
			children, the homeless, or that benefits cancer research
			21:34 < igel> (written on the check?)
			21:35 < srevilak> igel: yes, we'd have to return the money by check.
			MA campaign finance laws
			21:35 < srevilak> jokeefe found some potential charities, but I don't
			have list handy
			21:35 < srevilak> I imagine we'll vote on it next week
			21:35 < js0000> ok- that sounds good to me
			21:36 < aquaticonions> Why did she give it to us if we were just supposed
			to pass the money on?
			21:36 < js0000> it's the identity thing that is forcing us to pass it on
			21:36 < srevilak> aquaticonions: AFAIK, this contributor didn't realize
			that political groups have to report their contributions
			21:37 < js0000> should we make a PAC ... ?
			21:37 < igel> hrm..
			21:37 < js0000> isn't that how the GOP does it?
			21:38 < srevilak> js0000: only PAC if someone is willing to bottom line
			the PAC
			21:38 < srevilak> anyway, we'll probably talk more about it next week.
			21:38 < js0000> right- they have billionaires ...
			21:39 < srevilak> js0000: indeed they do
			21:40 < srevilak> if no objections, moving on to task status
			21:40 < srevilak> no updates on PirateCon videos that I'm aware of
			21:40 < srevilak> MAAPL form work is progressing
			21:40 < srevilak> Kendra has been working on newsletter
			21:41 < srevilak> anyone interested in contributing a newsletter article?
			21:42 < igel> may be? im not sure.. im really only focused on crypto
			stuff..
			21:43 < js0000> i'll try to get something together too
			21:43 < srevilak> igel: IMHO, a few short paragraphs on project meshnet
			could be cool
			21:44 < igel> due date, roughly?
			21:44 < igel> next week?
			21:45 < srevilak> I think we were orginally shooting for end of August
			submission deadline, but I also think we're running behind
			21:45 < srevilak> next week should be okay
			21:45 < js0000> kendra was here earlier and does not seem to be now ...
			21:45 < srevilak> she's travelling
			21:46 < srevilak> likely spotty wifi or such
			21:47 < igel> i might have to dip in the like 5 or so
			21:47 < srevilak> igel: np
			21:48 < js0000> i can put out some newsletter copies at brandeis
			21:48 < srevilak> js0000: that'd be awesome
			21:49 < srevilak> on related note, we have freedom rally coming up
			in Sept. Probably need a flyer for that
			21:49 < srevilak> I'll see if I can touch up last year's flyer from
			https://masspirates.org/wiki/2014_Media_and_Graphics
			21:50 < igel> alright all
			21:50 < igel> have a great night
			21:51 < srevilak> you too igel
			21:54 < srevilak> js0000, aquaticonions: we're close to time. How would
			you feel about wrapping up a little early?
			21:54 < js0000> no problem
			21:54 < srevilak> motion to adjourn
			21:54 < srevilak> 2nd?
			21:54 < js0000> thx for running meeting- it took me a while to move my
			mind from thurs to mon
			21:54 < js0000> second!
			21:54 < srevilak> :)
			21:55 < srevilak> catch you guys next week
