https://masspirates.org/wiki/February_8th,_2016_IRC_Meeting | |||
21:03 < jokeefe> ids | |||
21:03 < srevilak> jokeefe: haven't read it, just BSE's synopsis | |||
21:03 < jokeefe> James O’Keefe, Somerville | |||
21:04 < srevilak> Steve Revilak, west of the Alewife | |||
21:04 < jokeefe> the one before the amended bill? | |||
21:04 < srevilak> not sure | |||
21:08 < jokeefe> want to add anything to the bill? | |||
21:08 < jokeefe> agenda? | |||
21:09 < srevilak> Before I suggest additions, I'll have to read it first | |||
21:11 < jokeefe> in the mean time. our regional convention, Sunday, | |||
28th, 11am-1pm? | |||
21:12 < srevilak> I can do that | |||
21:12 < jokeefe> ok, will schedule it | |||
21:13 < jokeefe> been a busy week workwise, so haven’t been able to | |||
accomplish much | |||
21:13 < jokeefe> hopefully this week will be better | |||
21:14 < srevilak> likewise. Arlington is starting to gear up with | |||
warrant articles and such | |||
21:14 < jokeefe> will be speaking for a few minutes at the boston security | |||
meetup on tuesday. | |||
21:14 < srevilak> cool | |||
21:14 < srevilak> what's your talk about? | |||
21:14 < jokeefe> state of privacy | |||
21:17 < srevilak> I have to attend meetings Tue and Wed. Hoping to get | |||
some MAAPL work done on thu/fri | |||
21:17 < srevilak> shall I try to call a few people this week, re: | |||
running as candidates? | |||
21:18 < jokeefe> yes please | |||
21:18 < srevilak> Will do a few on thu/fri. | |||
21:18 < jokeefe> thanks | |||
21:19 < jokeefe> PirateCon 2016 - think we are too few to decide | |||
21:20 < srevilak> agreed | |||
21:20 < jokeefe> We are likely set for the date/location for the | |||
North/West of Boston regional convention | |||
21:20 < srevilak> great, thx | |||
21:22 < jokeefe> working on | |||
https://piratenpad.de/p/MAPPCandidateRecruitmentSiteText | |||
21:22 < jokeefe> but haven’t done much yet | |||
21:23 < srevilak> I've been focused more on warrant articles | |||
21:23 < jokeefe> understood | |||
21:23 < jokeefe> what have you found? | |||
21:23 < srevilak> Tomorrow, going to a presentation about Community | |||
choice aggregation (alternative way for municipalities to purchase | |||
green electricity) | |||
21:23 < srevilak> Also peeved about an article that would prohibit | |||
camping on public property | |||
21:24 < srevilak> I've seen those kind of regulations used to criminalize | |||
homelessness | |||
21:24 < jokeefe> aye | |||
21:25 < srevilak> There's also an article that would require town | |||
committee members to use town-provided email for official business | |||
21:25 < srevilak> Like that one -- would make it easier to submit PR | |||
requests for email | |||
21:25 < srevilak> hi Kendra | |||
21:25 < Kendra> Hi All, Kendra in Michigan | |||
21:26 < srevilak> Town manager submitted the article on camping. | |||
Wrote tonight, asking him to provide the motiviation for it | |||
21:27 < Kendra> should be an interesting response, is camping a problem? | |||
21:27 < srevilak> Kendra: I fear that he might be trying to criminalize | |||
arlington's homeless population | |||
21:27 < srevilak> If that's the case, I'm prepared to give him a fight | |||
21:28 < Kendra> I know that there is a place under the bridge near the | |||
dog park | |||
21:28 < srevilak> That's one spot where people hang out. THere are a | |||
few other places in east arlington | |||
21:29 < jokeefe> ahoy Kendra | |||
21:29 < srevilak> Seriously, though. If you want to do something about | |||
it, house them | |||
21:30 < Kendra> Have fair wages adn affordable housing | |||
21:30 < srevilak> aye | |||
21:30 < srevilak> How close are you to Flint? | |||
21:30 < Kendra> 60 miles | |||
21:30 < jokeefe> right, but that would cost money and we only have that | |||
for tax breaks and weapons | |||
21:31 < srevilak> I hope that's far enough that you don't have to worry | |||
about water fiasco | |||
21:31 < Kendra> This small city has a separate water supply from Detroit. | |||
The bills are ridiculous. they put in new water meters last year after | |||
no bilss for two years. $6500 water bill | |||
21:32 < srevilak> wow ... | |||
21:32 < jokeefe> wow | |||
21:32 < Kendra> The Huron River rund right underneath here, it's paved | |||
over, nothing but water | |||
21:32 < srevilak> I'm surprised there's not rioting over that. Or maybe | |||
there is, and we don't hear about it | |||
21:32 < Kendra> People are getting $300 water bill monthly | |||
21:33 < jokeefe> new jersey made it easier to privatize public water | |||
systems | |||
21:33 < jokeefe> to fix their under investment problem | |||
21:33 < Kendra> 40% water increase in 2010 due to a lawsuit for political | |||
corruption, ie the contract for these newly instlled meters | |||
21:36 < srevilak> jokeefe: what do we want the regional meeting agenda | |||
to look like? | |||
21:37 < jokeefe> strategize about organizing locally, assign regional | |||
contacts, call for candidates | |||
21:38 < srevilak> sounds good | |||
21:39 < jokeefe> that is all I have | |||
21:40 < srevilak> nothing else from me. Kendra, anything else from you? | |||
21:40 < Kendra> nope | |||
21:40 < Kendra> move to adjourn? | |||
21:40 < jokeefe> 2nd | |||
21:40 < srevilak> 2nd | |||
21:41 < jokeefe> all in favor? | |||
21:41 < srevilak> aye | |||
21:41 < Kendra> aye | |||
21:41 < srevilak> will post transcript | |||
21:41 < jokeefe> aye | |||
21:41 < jokeefe> thanks | |||
21:41 < Kendra> nite | |||
21:41 < jokeefe> good night | |||
