21:02 < jokeefe> agenda: https://masspirates.org/wiki/August_7th,_2014_IRC_Meeting
21:02 < jokeefe> ids
21:02 < jokeefe> James O'Keefe, Somerville
21:03 < srevilak> Steve Revilak, Arlington, MA
21:03 < Bluelustreak> Lucia Fiero
21:03 < Bluelustreak> (Jason is home but he still working!)
21:04 < jokeefe> 1. Invitation to appear on TOUCHFM this tuesday morning
21:05 < jokeefe> srevilak?
21:05 < Bluelustreak> Where is the studio? Or will it be a call in?
21:06 < jokeefe> http://touchfm.org/
21:06 < srevilak> Lolita asked for in-studio.  Don't know the address, but I can get it
21:07 < jokeefe> what time?
21:07 < Bluelustreak> Doesn't say on the website
21:07 < Bluelustreak> Lolita will be there, too?
21:07 < Bluelustreak> The time matters... Oh, am I invited?
21:08 < srevilak> Bluelustreak: it's her segment on Charles' show
21:08 < jokeefe> think we are deciding who is available
21:08 < Bluelustreak> hm
21:08 < srevilak> Sadly, I have a work conflict
21:08 < Bluelustreak> Well if I am not on the road...
21:08 < jokeefe> do they want one or two people?  also what is the topic?
21:09 < Bluelustreak> It is rather short notice.
21:09 < Bluelustreak> I think the PP really speaks to their followers
21:09 < Bluelustreak> what they need for their commnity is connectivity
21:09 < Bluelustreak> if the FCC is going to shut down their radio...
21:09 < Bluelustreak> then they need to focus on getting people on line to listen
21:10 < Bluelustreak> that costs money unless...
21:10 < srevilak> jokeefe: here's what lolita sent: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/private/activists_masspirates.org/2014-August/002077.html
21:10 < Bluelustreak> they go municipal
21:10 < Bluelustreak> We were talking about this at SCATV
21:10 < srevilak> show is 9-10am, show up at 8:50
21:10 < Bluelustreak> Sigh
21:10 < srevilak> she asked for a "team", so probably means several people are okay
21:11 < Bluelustreak> If only I could call in!
21:11 < jokeefe> ahoy, Kendra!
21:11 < Kendra> Hi 
21:11 < Bluelustreak> Hey
21:11 < srevilak> If this tue is too short a notice, perhaps another tuesday might work?
21:11 < Bluelustreak> What does your day look like tuesday jokeefe?
21:11 < jokeefe> that would be preferable, srevilak
21:12 < Bluelustreak> The following tuesday I am completely free
21:12 < Bluelustreak> I could be IN STUDIO
21:12 < jokeefe> work, but might have some time, depending on when/where
21:12 < Bluelustreak> I think Jamie and I should both be on, with Steve if he can get the time off with some notice
21:13 < Bluelustreak> Can she wait a week?
21:13 < srevilak> will email Lolita, and ask about next Tuesday.  Will also CC you
21:13 < Bluelustreak> Or... can I call in?
21:13 < jokeefe> sounds good to me
21:13 < jokeefe> thank you
21:13 < Bluelustreak> Thank you so much.
21:13 < Bluelustreak> Kendra, lookie: http://sutralu.blogspot.com/2014/08/im-in-button-biznez.html
21:14 < davidd> nice article Bluelustreak
21:14 < Bluelustreak> LOL
21:14 < jokeefe> next 2. Software Freedom Day Cryptoparty?
21:14 < Bluelustreak> Pshaw
21:14 < jokeefe> I would think yes
21:15 < Bluelustreak> I should get a presentation knocked. If not Tor I could learn to present a encrypted chat
21:15 < Bluelustreak> Or TOR... I could do that again. I will be better prepered.
21:15 < jokeefe> cool
21:17 < Kendra> Or anything else.
21:17 < jokeefe> Kendra, srevilak, yes to do it?
21:17 < Bluelustreak> Will you be back in Boston by then, Kendra?
21:17 < srevilak> I say yes.  Would also be happy to present
21:17 < jokeefe> cool!
21:18 < Bluelustreak> I had a great time last year just sitting at the table listening to the speakers. Nice folks.
21:18 < srevilak> For 90 minutes, two 45-minute crypto workshops?
21:18 < srevilak> Or perhaps 3 30-minute?
21:19 < srevilak> (Though, 30 min is kind of short)
21:19 < Kendra> Is it a 10-5 or 6pm day
21:19 < jokeefe> yes it is
21:19 < jokeefe> where will it be?
21:19 < Bluelustreak> Industry Lab
21:19 < jokeefe> right
21:19 < srevilak> Kendra: we'd have 10:30 - noon
21:19 < Bluelustreak> Remember the night we scouted it for our fundraiser?
21:19 < Kendra> OK by me 
21:19 < Bluelustreak> Then got ice cream?
21:19 < Bluelustreak> 3 of us have been there 
21:20 < Bluelustreak> Maybe Steve too some other time
21:20 < jokeefe> I say do it and we can figure out the details.  should be hands on which requires more time.

21:55 < jokeefe> before the end - 6. International Day Against DRM (May 6th 2015)? 
21:55 < Bluelustreak> Can we tie this to PirateCon 2015 somehow?
21:56 < srevilak> I think we can find some way to tie the two together
21:56 < jokeefe> lets brain storm at the picnic
21:56 < Kendra> May 6th is a Saturday.  When is Pirate con?
21:56 < Bluelustreak> See?
21:56 < Kendra> Makes sense to maximize the audience and interest. 
21:56 < jokeefe> havn't picked a date
21:57 < srevilak> Seems like first order of business should be deciding if we want to do it
21:57 < Bluelustreak> Maybe the 6th!
21:57 < jokeefe> usually a sat
21:57 < srevilak> Could to pirate con on 5/6, and make DRM a major theme
21:57 < Bluelustreak> Yes. What I was thinking.
21:57 < srevilak> Oh wait, 5/6/ is a wednesday
21:57 < Bluelustreak> OK wait...
21:57 < Bluelustreak> Have PC 2015 the sat BEFORE
21:58 < Bluelustreak> and promote anti DRM day at it
21:58 < Kendra> sorry about that. 
21:58 < jokeefe> just don't want it to conflict with DMC or other conferences
21:58 < Bluelustreak> OK about DMC
21:58 < Kendra> Might still be able to work with them
21:58 < jokeefe> may is also finals at colleges
21:58 < Bluelustreak> In Sept they will be having an IPM
21:58 < srevilak> Or, have pirate con on 5/16, and promote it at DRM day :)
21:58 < Bluelustreak> We Pirates should all be there becasue
21:58 < Bluelustreak> They will be setting the date for the Spring
21:58 < Kendra> That is a graduation weekend
21:59 < Bluelustreak> Good point
21:59 < Bluelustreak> Next DMC IPM is on a friday end of spt 26th I think
21:59 < jokeefe> thanks
22:00 < srevilak> DRM day can be simple.  We can (say) stand outside apple store and hand out leaflets
22:00 < jokeefe> will aim to be at it
22:00 < jokeefe> agreed, srevilak
22:00 < Bluelustreak> Well then, we could promote Pirate Con at DRM day
22:00 < jokeefe> yes
22:00 < Bluelustreak> So... June for Pirate con?
22:01 < Bluelustreak> Just... skip a year
22:01 < Bluelustreak> We are at time
22:01 < srevilak> DRM day is international.  I think it's worthwhile to do something, just to be part of an international movement.
22:01 < srevilak> + Open culture
22:01 < jokeefe> agreed
22:01 < srevilak> can we do a vote on DRM day participation?
22:01 < Bluelustreak> Well, people will ask: What can I do about DRM? and then we can say COME TO PIRATECON!\
22:01 < Bluelustreak> um
22:02 < Bluelustreak> nao?
22:02 < Bluelustreak> Move to support int day against DRM by leafletting in Boston
