21:21 < jokeefe> Just a reminder the general meeting is this Sunday - https://www.facebook.com/events/1397130737167875/

21:22 < jokeefe> srevilak, any luck on getting the videos of the conference?
21:24 < jokeefe> Bluestreak, thanks for the video of Alex's talk
21:24 < Bluestreak> Hey, baby!
21:24 < jokeefe> thanks also JCFiero for the video of Alex
21:24 < Bluestreak> I shoulda posted sooner!
21:24 < Joe> My windows was corrupted and had to reformat so I lost anything I had
21:24 < Bluestreak> I thought Maurice would get to it!
21:24 < Joe> I don't think I had much video/audio footage anyways
21:24 < js0000> Joe: ouch [windows sux!]
21:25 < gregg> Joe: that ever happens again reach out to me. I did data recovery for a living for a bit. I still have most of the stuff I need to get data back.
21:25 < srevilak> jokeefe: spoke with Maurice.  Need to find a time to hook up.  About 20GB to copy
21:25 < Bluestreak> I have video of you talking Joe. 
21:26 < jokeefe> thanks srevilak
21:26 < Bluestreak> Well, guess what MM we are done!
21:26 < JCFiero> Hi, its the only footage with  decent sound that I recorded ..the other footage would have to be edited together with Maurice's video/audio
21:26 < Joe> I will def have to let you guys know. Unfortunately I needed my computer back up and running so I had to just reformat it and say screw it
21:26 < srevilak> In the short term, my schedule is probably the limiting factor, unfortunately
21:27 < jokeefe> lets talk, I might be able to drop in and get them.
21:27 < Joe> I can definitely edit it together, I should have after effects installed tomorrow
21:27 < srevilak> ok.  thanks jokeefe 
21:27 < Bluestreak> I will drop box it to you Joe for final approval. OK?
21:27 < jokeefe> I think the only video we are missing is the Gov. power in 2020 talk
21:27 < Bluestreak> Hmmm...
21:27 < Joe> Sure just drop box it and let me know
21:28 < JCFiero> I didnt start recording until after lunch
21:28 < jokeefe> Last on the agenda is to brainstorm the task list for the 2014 elections & decide the agenda for Sunday General Meeting
21:28 < jokeefe> I broke out http://piratenpad.de/SKwdoMqk26 into two month periods
21:28 < Bluestreak> I couldn't find my wallet cause I bumped my head!
21:29 < js0000> jokeefe: nice work!
21:29 < Bluestreak> Jason and I have been talking to Joe about a short "what is the PP?" video
21:30 < jokeefe> nice
21:30 < Bluestreak> Plus our kid seems to really get video editing
21:30 < js0000> i would think all aug 2013 items could be discussed at gen meeting
21:30 < Bluestreak> He can can give us some pointers
21:30 < gregg> I'm not sure how this fits in, but wanted to make sure everyone saw it, the last 2 weekends thousands of people showed up: http://www.northendboston.com/visiting/feasts/
21:30 < gregg> that might be a great flyering opportunity
21:31 < Bluestreak> Good idea, Gregg!
21:31 < jokeefe> cool
21:32 < jokeefe> I have been reading Falkvinge's swarm wise (http://falkvinge.net/2013/07/19/book-launch-swarmwise-the-tactical-manual-to-changing-the-world/) and he suggests dividing task no more than 2 months out
21:33 < Bluestreak> Fuck yeah!
21:33 < Kendra> I am going to add preparing a solid media strategy to the "to do" list.  I agree with the 2 months, attention spans.  
21:33 < js0000> two months seems good to me also
21:33 < js0000> and i haven't read the swarm at all ...
21:33 < Bluestreak> I have noticed this myself already.
21:33 < Bluestreak> In practice
21:33 < gregg> agreed, also agreed that there needs to be media strategy
21:33 < Igel> back. hi js0000 did u creep my buddies cjdmaidware
21:33 < Joe> I'll have to read that book
21:33 < Bluestreak> Read it John. Very easy reading.. and it's free
21:34 < js0000> Igel: took a look at github and will prolly npm the package tomorrow
21:35 < js0000> Bluestreak: gotta get through kenny goldsmith first ...
21:35 < Bluestreak> I hear ya!
21:35 < js0000> Igel: don't do any creeping ...
21:36 < jokeefe> suggestions for Sunday agenda topics?
21:37 < Bluestreak> I have something nationa;
21:37 < gregg> I would like to show off an organizational tool that we could start using to get everything (including these meetings) into a mucn more organized setup
21:37 < gregg> on Sunday that is.
21:37 < Bluestreak> USPP is looking for developers to work on the PP social media app
21:38 < Bluestreak> I defer to Greff
21:38 < Bluestreak> gg
21:38 < Bluestreak> hee hee
21:38 < js0000> possible to be more organized, but i think irc is good tool
21:38 < gregg> irc is a great tool for some things
21:38 < gregg> I've been using it since 92
21:38 < gregg> I am not shitting on irc :)
21:38 < js0000> haha
21:38 < Igel> js0000: http://projectmeshnet
21:39 < jokeefe> sounds good, gregg
21:39 < Igel> look it up, its good stuff if you dev.
21:39 < gregg> I have a projector to bring so we can put it up on a wall and everyone can see it
21:39 < gregg> if anyone else wants to do anything and use it, by al lmeans
21:40 < Bluestreak> And we have a wall!
21:40 < JCFiero> ++
21:40  * js0000 ++
21:40 < jokeefe> sounds like a plan
21:41 < Kendra> Agenda item: I got the  third party politics interview with Seamus Whelan  completed.   We could discuss if it is suitable or appropriate to  post it to the MPP site. 
21:41 < Kendra> I'll send it to the list, it's pretty short./
21:42 < Bluestreak> Sure why not
21:42 < Bluestreak> Coalition building it what it'a all about
21:42 < jokeefe> great, Kendra
21:42 < Bluestreak> *is*
21:42 < jokeefe> haven't heard back from the Libertarians.  Will email them a follow up.
21:43 < jokeefe> will ping Francisco White
21:44 < JCFiero> also we are seeing Rich A tomorrow we can reach out to him on the libritarian front 
21:44 < jokeefe> he isn't a member of the LP
21:45 < jokeefe> said so at PirateCon
21:45 < Bluestreak> LOL
21:45 < jokeefe> It is very important to come up with the tasks we want to accomplish Aug-Sept. as well as working back from election day in 2014.
21:46 < Bluestreak> We will be seeing Rich. We will get another contact
21:46 < jokeefe> thanks
21:46 < jokeefe> they responded by email, but guess they need to be reminded
21:48 < jokeefe> So for the agenda we have:  Gregg's demo, Kendra talking about Seamus, Planning how we will get a majority of the legislature in 2014
21:48 < JCFiero> dont worry we have it covered
21:48 < jokeefe> seems like enough
21:48 < gregg> also we can talk about the picnic
21:48 < gregg> who's bringing what, that sort of thing
21:49 < Kendra> 2 Questions:  Have we scheduled the any of Pirate Nights yet?  Does Joe have a set campaign platform specific to Boston, or are we going with a campaign strategy based on the international model?
21:49 < jokeefe> agreed, and the other events
21:50 < Joe> I'm currently setting up my platform and planning it with Lucia
21:50 < jokeefe> no we haven't scheduled any of the pirate nights.  the conference was the first.
21:50 < JCFiero> we will bring drinks and snacks - Lucia will make sandwiches
21:51 < jokeefe> we need to come up with our positions on different issues.
21:52 < Kendra> OK, so maybe that can be an agenda item, developing a strong presentation of our platform for Joe's election  to go along with a media strategy to roll out his and other campaigns. 
21:53 < jokeefe> ok, though that is a topic for many meetings
21:54 < Bluestreak> I will share with the list what we have developed for Joe once we have met with him.
21:54 < js0000> well, we'll eventually get it ... 
21:54 < Kendra> I probably meant to put that on the  list.  
21:54 < Bluestreak> Thank you to everyone who contributed to "what bills would you submit...?"
21:55 < Bluestreak> Good to know for one running for State legislature.
21:56 < jokeefe> Joe / Kendra, take a look at the German Pirate Party's platform - https://www.piratenpartei.de/politik/  in german, but translate.google.com works
21:57 < jokeefe> on the what bills you submit - we should plan to submit a few bills at the start of the 2014 legislative session in Dec/Jan 2014
21:58 < jokeefe> ok, I have covered what is on the agenda.  Anything else folks want to bring up?
22:00 < js0000> nice work- within an hour!
