[12:04] <black_van> welcome [12:04] <@srevilak> ata: welcome [12:04] <ata> Thank you [12:07] <ata> possibly a sticking point that I should mention, in case people get uncomfortable: I'm employed full time as a civilian dispatcher for a police department. I can understand if y'all get a little leery about that; if so, just let me know. But here because I'm committed to freedom of information, no other reason.

[12:20] <@jokeefe> need to talk with BFI & other groups [12:21] <@srevilak> boston is still listed in the pad, with contact of @ANONinMASS [12:24] <@srevilak> perhaps make contact with @ANONinMASS, to see if we can work with them [12:24] <@jokeefe> have done so [12:24] <@jokeefe> last year the data was jan 28 and that seems to be the case this year based on http://www.europeanprivacyday.org/european-privacy-day-2013 [12:25] <@srevilak> I see feb 23rd - https://twitter.com/OpManning/status/294118988819083265 [12:25] <@jokeefe> right [12:26] <@jokeefe> anyway the plan was to rally at the state house on 2/23. thought it would be good to have a cryptoparty after it. keep it simple, tor, encryption etc. [12:26] <@jokeefe> need a place [12:27] <@srevilak> I'd be in favor of cryptoparty. Would we want boston area, or elsewhere? [12:29] <@jokeefe> was thinking boston area. Encuentro 5 is down the street. [12:29] <@srevilak> I'm okay w/ E5. [12:29] <@jokeefe> who can schedule it? [12:30] <@srevilak> I can schedule w/E5 [12:30] == Shidash [~shidash@155.41.yov.i] has joined #masspirates [12:30] == mode/#masspirates [+v Shidash] by [4Q] [12:30] <@srevilak> what time on 2/23?

At present, nothing on E5 calendar for 2/23 [12:34] <+feedbot> [Twitter] masspirates: @ANONinMASS would a #cryptoparty after the #IDP13 rally work? May have a place just down the street. researching, need a time 2 schedule. - http://twitter.com/masspirates/statuses/294498260503113728 [12:34] <@jokeefe> Perhaps you could ask to schedule 1-5pm and we can refine. or is that too large a window? [12:35] <@jokeefe> so do we sign off on supporting IDP13? [12:35] <@jokeefe> any more discussion? [12:35] <@mildbeard> Seems pretty clear cut. [12:37] <@jokeefe> ok, then, all in favor [12:38] <+black_van> aye [12:38] <@srevilak> aye [12:38] <+Shidash> aye [12:39] <@mildbeard> aye [12:39] <@jokeefe> arrr [12:39] <@jokeefe> any opposed? [12:41] <+feedbot> [Twitter] masspirates: RT @arstechnica: French court orders Twitter to identify racist and anti-Semitic users http://t.co/TK4JIaH6 by @cfarivar - http://twitter.com/masspirates/statuses/294498576179027968 [12:42] <@jokeefe> abstentions? [12:42] <@jokeefe> motion passes [12:42] <@jokeefe> mildbeard, you want to give us a national party update? [12:43] <@srevilak> jokeefe: we're on E5 calendar for 1-5p on 2/23. [12:43] <@mildbeard> Well, I accidentally missed the PNC last night because my calendar reminder expired at the end of 2012!!! [12:43] <@mildbeard> But they were going to vote on Oklahoma's probationary status. [12:44] <@mildbeard> There's a requirement for all states to ratify the PNC constitution by this sunday. [12:44] <@mildbeard> Massachusetts was the first to ratify. [12:44] <@mildbeard> I really don't have anything else to report, sorry. [12:44] <@jokeefe> who hasn't ratified it? [12:44] <@mildbeard> I heard that NY, WI and OR had ratified. I'm not aware of anyone else. [12:45] <@mildbeard> California had objections and has conspicuously not ratified it yet. Last I had heard. [12:45] <@mildbeard> CA proposed an amendment to the constitution and then never showed up to vote on it. [12:47] <@jokeefe> k [12:47] <@jokeefe> what was the amendment? [12:48] <@jokeefe> thanks, srevilak ! [12:48] <+black_van> any update on liquid feedback [12:49] <@mildbeard> the amendment was to basically have social programs that benefit the most vulnerable people in society. [12:49] <@mildbeard> I think it would have passed if they had showed up to promote it. [12:49] <@jokeefe> <hangs head> no besides we need to move it elsewhere, mildbeard hasn't been able to get help to fix the issues. [12:50] <@mildbeard> yeah they haven't responded. [12:50] <@mildbeard> I'm still working on an alternative and making progress, but it will take a couple months. [12:50] <@jokeefe> lets put liquidfeedback on the agenda for sunday as well as web hosting. [12:51] <@jokeefe> thanks, mildbeard [12:51] <@mildbeard> k [12:51] <@jokeefe> anything else for Sunday's agenda? [12:51] <@mildbeard> do we have a lot of survey results to go over? [12:54] <@jokeefe> no [12:54] <@mildbeard> hmm. [12:56] <@jokeefe> more than ten, but not statistically significant [12:58] <@mildbeard> well that's not so bad. [12:58] <@mildbeard> We should get some kind of web survey up. [12:58] <@mildbeard> Maybe a thing to discuss. [12:58] <@jokeefe> i think that goes with the web site. reluctant to go the cloudservice route [13:01] <@mildbeard> ok I see. [13:03] <@jokeefe> anything else folks want to discuss? [13:03] <@jokeefe> on sunday [13:04] <@mildbeard> drawing a blank :) [13:04] <@jokeefe> no problem [13:04] <@jokeefe> we will think things up [13:04] <+Shidash> I need a way to get there on Sunday [13:04] <@jokeefe> lots to do [13:04] <+Shidash> Is anyone coming from Boston or a train stop?
