Summary

Anarchist Bookfair. Was a nice event.

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.

Newsletter. Current version uploaded to File:MPP Fall Winter 2015 Newsletter 2.sla

21:05 < srevilak> How'd things go on Sunday?
21:06 < jokeefe> well. met a bunch of people who were interested in

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
21:22 < Kendra> Hi All

21:32 < jokeefe> srevilak, should we have this on the agenda or just
        have you bring it up when you need something?
21:33 < srevilak> jokeefe: I don't think we need a regular agenda item.
21:33 < jokeefe> ok
21:33 < srevilak> I spent a couple hours diagnosting a performance
        bottleneck, and developing a workaround
21:33 < jokeefe> great

21:43 < Bluestreak> Yay

21:43 < jokeefe> I wasn’t able to, sorry.
21:44 < Kendra> We have enough events down the road
21:44 < Kendra> I can do the PDF
21:44 < jokeefe> Once we have that, we can put it up and see about
        getting more people to work on the next one
21:45 < Kendra> If people have suggestions for adding to let me know what,
        we can take out the articles that are dated
21:45 < Bluestreak> Once it’s in PDF I will read it.
21:46 < jokeefe> I suggest just getting it out there for now and start
        work on the next one
21:46 < Bluestreak> Literally too tired to figure out how to read it now
21:46 < Bluestreak> 2nd that.
21:46 < Kendra> sounds good
21:46 < jokeefe> Though I would keep it to four pages and do a two
        column/page layout
21:47 < jokeefe> Will put a post up about the raw PirateCon 2015 Videos
        and revisit it in December
21:48 < jokeefe> Tech - srevilak/Kendra - have you had a chance to deal
