[9:37pm] jokeefe: several yes, trying to get the link for the map [9:38pm] noe: bcec is quite far away from anything else [9:38pm] srevilak: I'll be able to make it. At least for a couple hours [9:38pm] noe: I recommend finding an area within it, other venues are hard to get to/hard to have a group of people in [9:39pm] jokeefe: got it - http://massconvention.com/assets/pdf/floorplans/BCEC_Floorplans__Capacities_Meeting_Level_1.pdf [9:40pm] jokeefe: NE Lobby A or SE Lobby B2 areas were best [9:41pm] jokeefe: The other side tends to be near the food so is really busy [9:41pm] jokeefe: the upper floors have less space, though the lower floor registration area is a possibility [9:41pm] srevilak: I've only walked through North lobby, so I don't have any good input to offer [9:42pm] noe: I'd say pick one and plant a flag (not a real flag) [9:42pm] jokeefe: Got any time to do a walk through, assuming we can get in? [9:43pm] jokeefe: Probably SE Lobby then, noe [9:43pm] noe: SE is good, then. How are we publicizing? [9:43pm] jokeefe: blog post, FB/Twitter/Email, then fliers at PAX possibly [9:44pm] jokeefe: that and a banner at it [9:44pm] srevilak: have we decided on a time? [9:45pm] jokeefe: doors open 10am [9:45pm] jokeefe: things get less crazy after that [9:45pm] jokeefe: I suggest noon [9:45pm] srevilak: how about starting right before conference lunch break? [9:46pm] jokeefe: here is the schedule - there is no lunch break - http://east.paxsite.com/schedule [9:46pm] jokeefe: 72,000 people cannot have a lunch break at the same time [9:47pm] jokeefe: do we want to setup a pirate wifi to get people the software? [9:48pm] noe: that sounds like a cool idea. who would be in charge of that? [9:48pm] srevilak: I have a spare WAP -- could bring it [9:49pm] srevilak: I assume this would be a small isolated network, not connected to internet [9:49pm] srevilak: correct? [9:49pm] noe: i think that would be safest and easiest [9:50pm] srevilak: if that's the case, I can set up downloads via http server on my laptop [9:50pm] srevilak: pretty easy to do [9:50pm] jokeefe: yes, not connected to their wifi [9:50pm] jokeefe: Might want to name it NSA Honeypot or something like that [9:50pm] jokeefe: then people might start asking around about it [9:51pm] srevilak: Will give it some thought [9:51pm] jokeefe: Or could be Pirate Party, too [9:51pm] srevilak: I'll take care of wireless [9:52pm] noe: Any other logistics for PAX Cryptoparty? [9:52pm] jokeefe: great, done with that [9:52pm] jokeefe: Tech Issues [9:52pm] srevilak: I'd like to work on a fundraiser flyer, so we have some to hand out [9:52pm] jokeefe: srevilak - any luck with CiviCRM [9:53pm] srevilak: jokeefe: haven't had a chance to work on it during the last few days. Hopefully soon [9:53pm] jokeefe: thanks for the update [9:54pm] jokeefe: will ask js0000 about the voter reg app [9:54pm] jokeefe: Support, Outreach & Finances [9:54pm] jokeefe: Finance update? [9:54pm] srevilak: Sounds like we're planning to get together w/Lisa [9:55pm] jokeefe: yes, need to pick the date [9:55pm] srevilak: currently $307 in bank [9:55pm] noe: (we're rich!) [9:55pm] srevilak: and $634 in in-kinds so far this year [9:55pm] jokeefe: beyond our wildest dreams! [9:56pm] jokeefe: received the fliers, so we are fine in that area. [9:56pm] noe: (could you imagine if we tried to rent a physical room for our weekly meetings? O_o) [9:56pm] jokeefe: $10-30/mtg [9:57pm] srevilak: we'd have to cover it with hat passing [9:57pm] jokeefe: as long as we account for it [9:57pm] jokeefe: We skipped - Waves of Action Boston - https://www.facebook.com/groups/waveofactionboston/ [9:58pm] srevilak: can someone summarize? (tried to look at [fb] page, wasn't public) [9:58pm] jokeefe: yeah noticed that [9:58pm] noe: Its a nighttime activist gathering based around MLK Jr's legacy [9:59pm] jokeefe: http://waveofaction.org/ [9:59pm] noe: They organized it for the date since its . . . no good way to say this . . . his assassination [10:01pm] jokeefe: We supported Occupy, I don't have any objection to supporting this event [10:01pm] srevilak: https://www.facebook.com/events/328663730592223/?_fb_noscript=1 [10:01pm] noe: The local one is set in Dudly Square, but the overall 3 month long sustained action around the world hopes to harness crowdsourcing into connecting activist groups [10:01pm] noe: *Dudley [10:01pm] noe: (durdly, herply derply) [10:02pm] srevilak: I'm in favor of supporting [10:02pm] jokeefe: Dewey Sq. [10:02pm] noe: Does anyone here object? [10:02pm] noe: Dewdrly [10:02pm] jokeefe: 2nd [10:02pm] noe: (derp) [10:02pm] jokeefe: going once [10:03pm] jokeefe: going twice [10:03pm] Kendra: No objections, other than them ignoring Black History Month and MLK's birthdya, but I expect as much. [10:04pm] noe: *high five for Kendra* [10:04pm] jokeefe: aye, though that doesn't seem to be the case with the Boston event [10:05pm] noe: I guess we support it. The spirit of it, if not all the details. [10:05pm] jokeefe: seeing no blocking objections, endorsement passes.
