			[9:47pm] jokeefe:
			[9:47pm] jokeefe: js0000 - on Voter registration app. may first updated the OS to version 7 recently. might that help since rails/ruby are newer?

			[9:48pm] js0000: slowly
			[9:48pm] js0000: i think i'm going to try on the mac i have at work
			[9:48pm] js0000: since freebsd seems to be a bust with this
			[9:48pm] js0000: i thought i could install right on heroku
			[9:48pm] jokeefe: hopefully
			[9:48pm] js0000: but i think i need to install locally than upload
			[9:48pm] js0000: i don't know much about heroku
			[9:48pm] js0000: but i will learn
			[9:49pm] js0000: as i know how to read documentation

			[9:50pm] jokeefe: lets talk over email, if you can help lgel that would be great
			[9:50pm] js0000: i think moving to the mac will help get it going
			[9:50pm] Igel: whats the framework around the app?
			[9:50pm] jokeefe: hopefully
			[9:50pm] js0000: rails
			[9:50pm] Igel: hmm
			[9:51pm] js0000: also, i don't really have access to mayfirst
			[9:51pm] js0000: although i may have once upon a time
			[9:51pm] js0000: maybe i'll coordinate through srevilak
			[9:51pm] srevilak: js0000: ok by me
			[9:52pm] Bluestreak: How hard is it to get access to Mayfirst?
			[9:52pm] js0000: i think it's just my memory
			[9:52pm] js0000: i just need to refresh it
			[9:52pm] srevilak: Bluestreak: pretty easy. Just need ssh public key
			[9:52pm] jokeefe: lets take this to email
			[9:52pm] Igel: im sorry i cant be much help js..
			[9:53pm] Bluestreak: I was done
			[9:53pm] js0000: igel: np
			[9:53pm] jokeefe: NP Bluestreak
			[9:53pm] jokeefe: Platform - thanks to js0000 for the docs on using git
			[9:53pm] • js0000 blushes
			[9:54pm] Bluestreak: Yes, thanks.
			[9:54pm] jokeefe: if folks would fill out the poll for the dec meeting that would be great http://doodle.com/65nwxwzg83ep6aiz
			[9:54pm] jokeefe: we could switch it to video chat
			[9:55pm] js0000: i like text
			[9:55pm] js0000: but that could be just me ...
			[9:55pm] Bluestreak: Switch what to video chat?
			[9:56pm] davidd: http://www.popularresistance.org/heres-how-the-corporations-defeat-political-movements/
			[9:56pm] Bluestreak: jokeefe?
			[9:56pm] jokeefe: was thinking that would get more people involved.
			[9:56pm] Bluestreak: What would, I'm not following
			[9:56pm] Bluestreak: ?
			[9:56pm] jokeefe: could do weekly IRC if folks want
			[9:57pm] jokeefe: video chat
			[9:57pm] Bluestreak: With Jitsy?
			[9:58pm] jokeefe: could
			[9:58pm] js0000: is there any evidence that video chat would increase participation?
			[9:58pm] js0000: i don't know
			[9:58pm] Bluestreak: I'm all for that but you know me... talking over folks (Hangs head)
			[9:58pm] js0000: not trying to block anything
			[9:58pm] jokeefe: no evidence … yet
			[9:58pm] js0000: might be worth a try
			[9:59pm] js0000: we can find out ...
			[9:59pm] jokeefe: or could just do another IRC chat ...
			[10:00pm] Bluestreak: I like trying new things
			[10:00pm] js0000: anything to get more pirates is good
			[10:00pm] jokeefe: davidd, how have you all been writing your platform?
			[10:01pm] davidd: we stick to our guns
			[10:01pm] davidd: we have our core issues
			[10:01pm] davidd: and try to see how each affects different policies
			[10:02pm] Bluestreak: We've only had the one platform meeting and my husband and I missed it... oops
			[10:02pm] Bluestreak: (Also not sure I can make it in Dec... waiting for surgery date)
			[10:02pm] davidd: getting any real change always requires a three pronged attack
			[10:02pm] • Igel looking at poll
			[10:02pm] davidd: the activists, the grassroots and the political side
			[10:03pm] Kendra: I wanted to pipe in about the phone bank and say we might want to think about a script of some sort. Sorry, i had to take a call. I have done a lot of cold calling and it is an art.
			[10:03pm] davidd: we have to work on all three for now
			[10:03pm] Bluestreak: We had a script
			[10:03pm] Kendra: Can I get a copy?
			[10:03pm] Bluestreak: send to the list
			[10:03pm] Bluestreak: sent
			[10:03pm] Bluestreak: I will look hold on
			[10:03pm] shep: I have only done warm calling which is what we'll be doing
			[10:03pm] Kendra: thank you
			[10:04pm] jokeefe: agreed, Kendra, call script is needed
			[10:04pm] davidd: one thing that can help amazingly is spreak your stuff amongst members using p2p
			[10:04pm] davidd: stuff like such a callscript
			[10:04pm] Kendra: We might also want to train or role play cold calls on Jitsi or something.
			[10:04pm] Kendra: before we do it for real
			[10:04pm] jokeefe: good idea!
