[9:17pm] srevilak: (That might be a good place to develop/keep our checklist) [9:17pm] jokeefe: agreed, though could start with a pad if needed [9:17pm] Kendra: Yes. Should I put it there? [9:18pm] js0000: what about starting with wiki and moving to pad if wiki isn't working [9:18pm] js0000: i think more people can access wiki than pad [9:19pm] zby joined the chat room. [9:19pm] zby left the chat room. (Changing host) [9:19pm] zby joined the chat room. [9:19pm] Kendra: Sorry, I have not registered to post on that wiki. If I did I can't think of my password. [9:19pm] Kendra: www.gdc.wa.gov.au/ uploads/ files/ Event%20Management%20Plan%20-%20GDC%20Toolkit.pdf [9:19pm] js0000: whatever works best [9:20pm] zby_ left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) [9:20pm] Kendra: You should be able to copy that link and I'll work on the wiki. There are many examples that get into crowd control, emergency contacts etc. [9:20pm] jokeefe: thanks, should use it for Monday [9:21pm] jokeefe: Next - Whistleblower Protest - Monday 2/17, 1-3pm, Logan Airport, Terminal E [9:21pm] jokeefe: Bunch of things to do [9:21pm] jokeefe: Lots of outreach [9:22pm] Bluestreak: Still not sure what you are planning on doing [9:22pm] jokeefe: The plan was to show up well dressed with signs of different whistle blowers [9:22pm] jokeefe: and stand there [9:22pm] Kendra: How about blowing whistles? [9:22pm] Bluestreak: Stand where, exactly? [9:22pm] srevilak: [9:23pm] srevilak: Bluestreak: logan airport terminal E. Probably near the arrivals area [9:23pm] Bluestreak: Near a gate? [9:23pm] Bluestreak: What if we are asked to leave? Like immedeately? [9:23pm] Bluestreak: I am trying to sell Jason but I dont have info for him [9:24pm] Bluestreak: He has some valid questions [9:24pm] Kendra: It all depends on how much action you are looking for a that day If you want to make a bigger deal get some whistles and get noisy. And we will be asked to leave. [9:24pm] srevilak: If asked to leave, we should ask on what grounds, and explain why we have the right to be there. [9:24pm] Bluestreak: And all you all will be there? [9:25pm] srevilak: I'll be there [9:25pm] jokeefe: My concern is that the turn out will be small. I know I will be there. [9:25pm] srevilak: Should have at least one video camera, if we need it for documentation [9:25pm] Kendra: It seems like this is a good time to discuss security and what level of protest people are willing to get into. How far do people want to go? The airport is getting into an area that is more touchy around security. [9:25pm] srevilak: Can one of you provide a quote for press release, so I can get it wrapped up? [9:25pm] Bluestreak: Who was documenting at the Aaron Swart anniversary jokeefe? [9:26pm] jokeefe: KT [9:26pm] Bluestreak: And someone else... [9:26pm] Bluestreak: I will reach out to KT [9:26pm] Bluestreak: for more info [9:27pm] jokeefe: Did reach out, haven't heard back. [9:27pm] srevilak: Logistics planning list: https://piratenpad.de/p/mapp-presidents-day [9:28pm] jokeefe: thanks, srevilak [9:28pm] jokeefe: so, we have three that i can see, plus whomever we can drum up between now and then [9:29pm] Kendra: I can probably video tape. I can't afford to tangle with the police though. [9:29pm] jokeefe: Kendra, was thinking silent protest. [9:29pm] igel_ left the chat room. (Quit: Lost terminal) [9:29pm] jokeefe: So, two and an observer. [9:29pm] jokeefe: perhaps we just aren't ready. [9:29pm] Bluestreak: I guess I could observe and support [9:29pm] Bluestreak: IDK [9:30pm] Bluestreak: Jason asked me to stay home, sorry. [9:30pm] srevilak: I think that two + observer would be okay. [9:30pm] srevilak: In EU, they kept the protests small [9:30pm] Bluestreak: I will put it to him that way [9:31pm] srevilak: Kendra: if you can observe & record, that'd be wonderful [9:31pm] jokeefe: hmmmm… srevilak, was thinking of the marches through the airports in their underwear. those were bigger [9:31pm] Bluestreak: LOL [9:31pm] Bluestreak: Would hate to get arrested in underwear in February [9:31pm] Bluestreak: But boy that would be fun! [9:32pm] jokeefe: http://boingboing.net/2010/11/27/german-pirate-party.html [9:33pm] Bluestreak: Yes, well they sunbathe in the nude in public parks in Munich so... [9:33pm] Bluestreak: Not much of a stretch for Germans [9:34pm] Kendra: Germans are extremely laid back compared to Americans about many things. [9:34pm] srevilak: Given the short time frame, should we just keep it low key/outreachy? [9:36pm] jokeefe: Personally, I would rather push it back. Use it to gain attention perhaps prior to the fundraiser. [9:36pm] Kendra: I have time and can help out, we just need to decide how intense we want this to be and how much risk people want to take. We could share flyers about the fundraiser and crypto parties at the same time. [9:37pm] Kendra: It looks like we need to vote or something. [9:37pm] srevilak: jokeefe: we have fundraiser on 21st. St patricks on sun 3/16 [9:37pm] srevilak: Maybe airport on 15th, or perhaps 3/8? [9:38pm] Bluestreak: OK IMO [9:38pm] Bluestreak: We should recruit ppl @ the fundraiser [9:38pm] igel_ joined the chat room. [9:38pm] Bluestreak: When they are all keyed up [9:38pm] Bluestreak: hand out flyers for our plan [9:38pm] Bluestreak: first week in April instead [9:38pm] Bluestreak: Safety in numbers [9:38pm] Kendra: I think sooner to generate publicity. [9:39pm] jokeefe: either 3/8 or 3/15 [9:39pm] Kendra: 3/8 gives us some time. [9:39pm] Bluestreak: Jason and I are doing cannabis activism on the 15th [9:39pm] Bluestreak: Not available [9:39pm] srevilak: I vote 3/8. That gives us visibility three weekends in a row [9:39pm] jokeefe: 2nd [9:39pm] Kendra: Aye, 3/8 [9:39pm] jokeefe: all in favor? [9:40pm] srevilak: aye [9:40pm] jokeefe: aye [9:40pm] Bluestreak: aye [9:40pm] Kendra: aya [9:40pm] jokeefe: Joeguertin, js0000? [9:40pm] Bluestreak: Wait when will out IPM be? [9:41pm] jokeefe: IPM? [9:41pm] Joeguertin: I'm not sure of my schedule yet, I'm checking atm [9:41pm] Kendra: BLue what is IPM? [9:42pm] srevilak: in-person meeting = IPM [9:42pm] jokeefe: haven't scheduled one [9:42pm] Joeguertin: 3/8 I have to work [9:43pm] Kendra: Should we get a IPM scheduled now? [9:43pm] srevilak: For IPM - maybe sunday the 9th? [9:43pm] srevilak: My weekends are committed for the rest of feb [9:43pm] jokeefe: lets do it at the phone bank [9:43pm] jokeefe: well, not hearing any objections, motion passes. [9:44pm] jokeefe: will notify people in email of the date change. still 1-3pm?

Time was 2-4pm [9:45pm] Bluestreak: Good idea akshlly [9:45pm] srevilak: Sorry airport protest, yes 1-3pm on 3/8 [9:46pm] Bluestreak: yay! February vacation is free! [9:46pm] jokeefe: on the plus side [9:47pm] jokeefe: anyone want to write the blog post who isn't srevilak? [9:47pm] Bluestreak: LOL [9:48pm] Kendra: Sorry, i can't right now [9:49pm] srevilak: jokeefe: blog post for what? [9:50pm] jokeefe: the airport event [9:50pm] js0000: i can try to write something on whistleblowers [9:51pm] jokeefe: thanks [9:51pm] js0000: i think the idea is clearest to you jokeefe [9:51pm] jokeefe: ok, will write [9:51pm] srevilak: In a pinch, we could use the press release as a blog post. (We'll probably put it on the blog anyway) [9:52pm] jokeefe: good idea. will write the quote that is needed [9:52pm] Bluestreak: 2nd [9:52pm] Bluestreak: [9:53pm] Bluestreak: ready for my Pirate Pad?

(Quit: leaving) [9:54pm] Bluestreak: My Mac ia bout to die... to lazy to go get cord oops [9:54pm] jokeefe: thanks, Bluestreak [9:55pm] Bluestreak: Putting it on mah list [9:55pm] jokeefe: lgel_ if you can get confirmation, that would be good. mostly we need a place and people to put up posters [9:56pm] jokeefe: March Cryptoparty - when? [9:56pm] jokeefe: I had suggested we just do a small one to work on our hands on presentations [9:56pm] jokeefe: maybe someone's house? [9:56pm] srevilak: Kendra: you were talking to IWW about cryptoparty. How far have you gotten [9:57pm] Kendra: High time for a cryptoparty in Lulu's neck of the woods. If we can get a date for March I have some possible places. IWW is interested and we could do it at the Lantern Collective in Cambridge. [9:57pm] Kendra: Jsut need to get a date and I can email Jason Freeman tonight. [9:57pm] Kendra: Or some optional dates. [9:57pm] srevilak: how about after fundraiser? [9:57pm] Bluestreak: My only prob w/ doing March at our house is not enough time to promote [9:58pm] Bluestreak: Need until April to promote. Hell, we could have it at our house if it is small and hands on. And I like feed folks [9:58pm] Kendra: The following weekend might be good idea. Lucia, for April you might be able to find a library or church with a community space in your town. [9:58pm] jokeefe: 29th or 30th, srevilak [9:58pm] ageis: where does cjd live? [9:58pm] Kendra: I can mention both dates and see what they say. [9:59pm] srevilak: Either 3/29 or 3/30 is okay with me. [9:59pm] srevilak: Perhaps depends on where it's held. (Free parking on Sundays) [9:59pm] jokeefe: agreed [10:00pm] jokeefe: Kendra, how many people can they have? [10:00pm] Kendra: I would guess in the range of 20 or so. Not a lot of parking in that part of town. But we can start there and maybeo work with it. [10:01pm] srevilak: Bluestreak: I've been marking up https://piratenpad.de/p/Fun-Raiser-20plans [10:01pm] Kendra: They hold a lot of events there and have a big livingroom and kitchen and a library in the basement.
