21:18 <~jokeefe> thoughts on first steps and goals?
21:18 < srevilak> I suppose finding candidates.  Would it be worth doing

21:19 <~jokeefe> I think so
21:20 <~jokeefe> what over trainings?
21:20 < srevilak> Over trainings?
21:21 <~jokeefe> other trainings

21:23 <~jokeefe> ahoy Joe
21:23 < Joe> Sorry for the late
21:23 < Joe> Ahoy
21:23 < srevilak> Hi joe
21:23 <~jokeefe> no worries
21:23 < Joe> Hi Steve
21:23 <~jokeefe> thought you might be busy
21:24 < Joe> Joseph Onoroski, Lowell
21:24 < srevilak> we're talking about drumming up interest in the next
        round of muni elections
21:24 <~jokeefe> we can always to on-line trainings
21:24 <~jokeefe> starting locals as a first step
21:25 < Joe> This time has become more difficult for me due to a family
        situation but not impossible
21:25 < Joe> Also, attended ppi today
21:25 <~jokeefe> how was that?
21:26 < Joe> It was good but I am still only observing for the time being.
21:27 < Joe> They were looking for a Treasurer volunteer and to my
        fortune one stepped up.
21:28 <~jokeefe> yes, you have a lot of your plate
21:28 < Joe> Especially since I  currently broken
21:28 < Joe> I broke my arm a little over a week ago.
21:28 <~jokeefe> ?
21:28 <~jokeefe> ah
21:28 <~jokeefe> sorry
21:29 < Joe> It was just from me being dumb. I appreciate it though.
21:29 < srevilak> Sorry to hear that
21:30 < Joe> It makes my life more difficult but not impossible.
21:31 <~jokeefe> ahoy dmitri
21:32 < Joe> So what is the story about the muni elections?
21:33 < dmitri> jokeefe hi there!
21:33 <~jokeefe> town elections are the first half of 2023. city elections
        the second half
21:33 < Joe> And when should I expect to withdraw from Treasurer so I
        can got for state representative?
21:33 < Joe> 2024?
21:34 < Joe> Ahoy dmitri!
21:34 <~jokeefe> depends when you want to announce. could wait until
        Feb 2023
21:35 <~jokeefe> can start gather signatures mid Feb 2023
21:36 < Joe> Sounds good actually.
21:37 < Joe> I should be good company wise by then.
21:37 <~jokeefe> hopefully
21:37 <~jokeefe> first local, then state elections
21:38 < Joe> The silver lining in me breaking my arm is the reality that
        my men can hold it down and only need my people skills. It's about time
        to take the next step.
21:38 <~jokeefe> Also, we should have a party conference and elections
        before the end of the year
21:39 < Joe> Want to be the Treasurer? ^
