[12:06] <jokeefe> jokeefe - James O'Keefe, Somerville [12:08] <erixoltan> There is national news. [12:09] <erixoltan> The PNC has solicited nominations for temporary slots for some of the key positions in the USPP. [12:09] <erixoltan> There will be a meeting tonight to consider those nominations. [12:09] <jokeefe> ok, to add it after upcoming events? [12:10] <erixoltan> sure [12:11] <jokeefe> Item 1. May 12th Film Fest Schedule [12:11] == Brady [~Grizzly@static-50-34-13-58.evrt.wa.frontiernet.net] has joined #masspirates [12:12] <erixoltan> Any word on our featured speaker? [12:12] <jokeefe> I called Dr. Ball and haven't heard back. Hoping he is well, but he hasn't confirmed, so I think we need to plan accordingly [12:12] <jokeefe> I updated the schedule at http://piratenpad.de/p/masspiratesfilmfest [12:13] <erixoltan> Are we ready to get a flier in the works? [12:13] <jokeefe> Jeanne was working on it, but needed the schedule [12:13] <jokeefe> hi Brady, Agenda at http://masspirates.org/wiki/index.php?title=April_24th,_2012_IRC_Meeting [12:14] <jokeefe> How does the schedule look? [12:14] <jokeefe> I just did some updates [12:14] <erixoltan> You know I like it. [12:16] <jokeefe> I wanted to put in Doctorow's 28C3 talk, but we are pretty heavy with talks [12:16] <jokeefe> We could use some more kids fare [12:17] <jokeefe> How does the post 6pm schedule look to folks? [12:18] <[bsod]> do we know Doctorow? [12:19] <jokeefe> No, but is 28C3 talk is really great and can be freely distributed. He is in the UK now. [12:19] <Brady> Those times don't seem to provide much room for breaks/bathroom/food? [12:19] <erixoltan> I'm also concerned that the scheduling is tight. [12:19] <[bsod]> i used to see him in telecomix irc alot [12:20] <erixoltan> Anyone else think we need popcorn? [12:20] <jokeefe> yes [12:20] <[bsod]> cispa is today isnt it [12:20] <jokeefe> I put in a 6:30 - 7pm break for folks to get dinner [12:22] <jokeefe> checking on CISPA [12:22] <jokeefe> I know they want it to be put to a vote this week [12:22] <[bsod]> cool, im talking to dutch pirates [12:24] <erixoltan> I think we should do the open source cancer research TED talk rather than the other open source science one. The cancer one is better and was filmed in Boston. [12:24] <jokeefe> from http://majorityleader.gov/ votes will be postponed to 6:30pm [12:24] <[bsod]> cool [12:24] <[bsod]> that give me time to flood people with stop cispa posts out of the telecomix twitter later [12:24] <jokeefe> makes sense, erix. feel free to change it [12:24] <erixoltan> changed [12:24] <jokeefe> cool [12:24] <SplendidSpoon> Yea people gottta jump on Cispa like with sopa [12:24] <SplendidSpoon> Mobilize internet defense forces! [12:25] <jokeefe> no web site blackouts [12:25] <[bsod]> http://activepolitic.com:82/News/2012-04-19e/CISPA_Protesters_Get_Fatigued.html [12:25] <erixoltan> CISPA is going to be harder because it won't hurt corporations, just individual citizens. [12:25] <SplendidSpoon> Right [12:25] <jokeefe> is half an hour enough of a break time? [12:25] <SplendidSpoon> The corporations aren't on board as much as they were before. [12:26] <jokeefe> I figure it is ala cart, so few people will come for the whole thing. [12:27] <jokeefe> are folks ok with the Otherworld shorts? [12:28] <jokeefe> or Pioneer 1 [12:28] <SplendidSpoon> Yup [12:30] <[bsod]> i dunno, pioneer 1 is cool and all, but just random eps from a seriese might leave people hanging [12:30] == septemberagain [813fd4dc@gateway/web/freenode/ip.129.63.212.220] has joined #masspirates [12:31] <jokeefe> was thinking of ep1 and they can go download the rest at home [12:31] <SplendidSpoon> So it'll sort of be like a teaser, we can show where to download when we're done showing it [12:31] <jokeefe> hi septemberagain, welcome, please id with whatever info you want to give [12:31] <SplendidSpoon> ? [12:31] <erixoltan> I think the quality of Pioneer 1 is important. It's a good show and some people will be surprised that something that good is for free. [12:32] <jokeefe> yeah, I was thinking of putting the links on our site and we can point people there or have a brief handout of links [12:33] <jokeefe> so does the schedule work? [12:34] <erixoltan> sure
