Hopefully not. [9:23pm] Bluestreak: Anything but Chrome apparently [9:23pm] Bluestreak: oops [9:23pm] Bluestreak: tried to back that out [9:23pm] jokeefe: Should we have moderators for the panels? [9:24pm] srevilak: I guess it could depend on what form we want the panels to take [9:25pm] srevilak: Are panelists giving short monologues, having a discussion amongst themselves [9:25pm] srevilak: or taking questions? [9:25pm] jokeefe: probably all three [9:26pm] srevilak: Hmm .. maybe a moderator would be good. Even just for intros, and to guide the discussion [9:28pm] srevilak: We can also ask individual panels whether they'd like moderation [9:29pm] srevilak: Looking at schedule, I'd think we need three moderators (for panels with > 2 people) [9:30pm] jokeefe: ok, well we can play it by ear then and see what they want to do. [9:30pm] srevilak: I'm happy to moderate if needed [9:31pm] srevilak: would also be good to switch male vs female moderators [9:31pm] jokeefe: thank you & agreed. [9:32pm] srevilak: That's my subtle way of volunteering Lucia to moderate a panel [9:32pm] Joe: If you need any more moderators I'd be willing [9:32pm] Bluestreak: Whatever you menfolk think is best, sirs. [9:33pm] jokeefe: We bow before the wisdom of the more sensible gender. [9:34pm] srevilak: in terms of logistics, we should be able to get in @ 8am. [9:34pm] jokeefe: So then we have three candidates for moderators: srevilak, Bluestreak and Joe. Good now I can schmooz. [9:34pm] jokeefe: great! [9:34pm] srevilak: What stuff must we make sure to bring? [9:34pm] davidd: great!

[9:35pm] jokeefe: we also need name tags [9:36pm] Bluestreak: Jason just walked in the door 24 hours early to surprise me. Just tell me what you want me to do by email. My will is but to serve.

(Quit: Web client closed) [9:37pm] jokeefe: haven't done a count on attendence [9:37pm] davidd: i suggest we move to vote that Bluestreak will do everything [9:37pm] jokeefe: 2nd! [9:37pm] davidd: and then close [9:37pm] srevilak: [9:37pm] jokeefe: that wouldn't be very Pirate of us [9:37pm] jokeefe: or maybe it would be … hmmm [9:38pm] jokeefe: white on black or black on white for shirts? [9:38pm] srevilak: white on black [9:38pm] davidd: i think its about 50 50 [9:38pm] davidd: the hackers on the one hand get black tshirts everywhere [9:39pm] ageis left the chat room.
