        campaign planning events
21:09 < jokeefe> BTW: 12/17 is Chelsea Manning's Birthday
21:09 < dcoop> ah, remember seeing something massP was doing for that-
        event, or just recognition? (too lazy to google)
21:10  * dcoop googles
21:10 < dcoop> (sorry)
21:11 < jokeefe> Veterans for peace might be.  Would anyone be able to
        email them and ask?
21:11 < srevilak> I can ask
21:12 < Glen> I saw Lawrence Lessig speak at Harvard today about his
        presidential run - a lot of really smart people there. Do you guys have
        any affiliation with Wolf-pac or any other organizations interested in
        getting big money out of politics?
21:12 < Bluestreak> No and yes.
21:12 < srevilak> Glen: we've done a bit of work with pass mass amendment
21:12 < Bluestreak> I wanted to invite him to run as a Pirate.
21:12 < jokeefe> thanks, srevilak
21:13 < Bluestreak> I slept all day so needless to say I couldn’t make
        it … glad you did
21:13 < Glen> Pass Mass amendment?
21:13 < Glen> I'm new to this whole thing and hearing him speak was sort
        of my introduction to this whole process
21:13 < srevilak> Glen: http://passmassamendment.org/
21:14 < srevilak> Initiative to amend MA state constitution (aka,
        corporations are not people, money is not speech)
21:14 < jokeefe> BAB was fun.  I liked their program.  Gave me some
        ideas for PirateCon2016
21:14 < Glen> very cool, I'll take a look at this
21:15 < jokeefe> Campaigns Status
21:15 < jokeefe> 2016 Campaigns & Policies Update
21:15  * srevilak will get poll done tomorrow night
21:15 < jokeefe> thanks
21:16 < jokeefe> working on CiviCRM changes
21:16 < jokeefe> Need mapping of regions to zipcodes
21:16 < jokeefe> perhaps igel could help?
21:18 < jokeefe> though I believe that the OCPF’s depository reporter
        software has such a mapping in its database
21:19 < jokeefe> not seeing a download link, though
21:19 < srevilak> jokeefe: I've never seen such a mapping exposed via
        OCPF reporter
21:19 < srevilak> However, we might want to look at
        https://civicrm.org/blogs/dalin/quick-and-easy-congressional-district-lookups-your-civicrm-contacts
21:21 < jokeefe> ooo, that would be great
21:22 < jokeefe> wanted to divide contacts into regions, and sort by
        zipcode is an easy way to do that where we don’t have cities
21:22 < jokeefe> ahoy, Kendra

2016 Campaigns & Policies Update. Steve will get 12/19 location poll done tomorrow night.

Contressional Districts. Drupal/Civi facilities for associating addresses to congressional districts would be useful. https://civicrm.org/blogs/dalin/quick-and-easy-congressional-district-lookups-your-civicrm-contacts might be an option. See also: https://civicrm.org/extensions/sunlight-congressional-districts-optional-civicrm-integration

Campaign meeting on Dec 6th. Pizzaria regina in Allston. Would like to make some headway on regional contact list. See https://masspirates.org/blog/join-us/regional-contacts/

RSVP for Dec 6th meeting: https://masspirates.org/crew/civicrm/event/register?id=14&reset=1

MAAPL Form. No longer necessary to keep this as a standing item. srevilak is doing civi hacking.

H.2487 & H.2606 Video Game Production Subsidy. Jokeefe has draft petition up at https://masspirates.org/crew/civicrm/petition/sign?sid=3&reset=1. Plans to work on URL-shortening.
