Summary

HOPE Conference. Nice turnout for H and BenC's cryptoparty. Did a 90 minute spot on Radio Statler. Partial recording at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvKmzMx5cd8. ~20 people came to Jamie's (unscheduled) talk on CCTV camera mapping. Had a talk with someone who was planning to organize a pirate party in SFO -- he had some interesting ideas for local organizing: advocate Free software to safe on licensing costs, and use public records requests to expose corruption. Like Massachusetts, SFO has a one-party system.

IPT response. We discuss draft copy of the response, and apply some minor edits. Steve will submit response later this week.

Aaron James campaign will be door-knocking Saturday at 4pm. https://www.facebook.com/events/496359393903288/. Meet at Diesel Café in davis square.

Pirate picnic. Steve will create Civi event on crew.

21:08 < jokeefe> HOPE Conference
21:09 < srevilak> H and BenC's cryptoparty had a nice turnout, along
        with jokeefe's talk on cctv mapping
21:09 < srevilak> And we spent 90 minutes on the air at Radio Statler
21:10 < srevilak> During closing ceremony, one of the fellows from Radio
        statler gave us a mention
21:10 < srevilak> "We had the Massachusetts Pirate Party on the
        Air!" (applause)
21:12 < jokeefe> Did you see H’s talk?
21:13 < srevilak> yes, was there for a good part of it

        Pirate Party interview in the @hopeconf booth! https://t.co/Ct3CD3UouY"
        (at twitter.com)
21:13 < jokeefe> I counted about 20 people at the talk I gave on Sunday.
21:14 < jokeefe> I think it would be good to have a Pirate talk at the
        2018 HOPE
21:14 < srevilak> Yes, it was pretty good for an unscheduled talk
21:14 < srevilak> ah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvKmzMx5cd8
21:14 <@papegaai> Title: Radio Statler Live Stream - HOPE XI - YouTube
        (at www.youtube.com)
21:14 < srevilak> That's us
21:15 < srevilak> hi Kendra
21:15 < jokeefe> thanks, srevilak
21:15 < jokeefe> ahoy
21:15 < Kendra> HI, Kendra Moyer in Highland Park, MI
21:16 < srevilak> https://masspirates.org/wiki/July_26th,_2016_IRC_Meeting
21:16 <@papegaai> Title: July 26th, 2016 IRC Meeting - Mass Pirate Wiki
        (at masspirates.org)
21:16 < srevilak> we're doing a review of hope
21:16 < jokeefe> on the cctv mapping project, it looks like BORDC has
        their own.  I reached out to them.
21:18 < jokeefe> IPT response - https://pad.riseup.net/p/mapp-ipt-response
21:19 <@papegaai> Title: Riseup Pad (at pad.riseup.net)
21:19 < jokeefe> made one change
21:19 < srevilak> changes are good.  Esp. the kinds of changes that are
        improvements :)
21:21 < srevilak> If the general gist is okay, I'll turn it into a PDF,
        make it look pretty, and email to IPT later this week.
21:22 < jokeefe> looks fine to me
21:23 < srevilak> I read the entire judgement while riding home.
        Was slightly amused that the subjects of the tribunal were concerned
        about having to deal with the number of respondents.
21:23 < srevilak> There were only ~ 663 respondents.
21:24 < jokeefe> seriously?
21:24 < jokeefe> wow
21:25 < jokeefe> any other comments?
21:26 < Kendra> It looks ok to me
21:27 < jokeefe> ahoy
21:27 < MosesMPP> blah, ayoy all - rural internets a bummer
21:27 < srevilak> Check out paragraph 35.  UK Govt called it a "fishing
        expedition"
21:27 < Bluestreak> Thanks for wrting that.
21:27 < srevilak> hi MosesMPP
21:27 < srevilak> agenda:
21:27 < srevilak> https://masspirates.org/wiki/July_26th,_2016_IRC_Meeting
21:27 <@papegaai> Title: July 26th, 2016 IRC Meeting - Mass Pirate Wiki
        (at masspirates.org)
21:28 < srevilak> We're discussing IPT response:
        https://pad.riseup.net/p/mapp-ipt-response
21:28 <@papegaai> Title: Riseup Pad (at pad.riseup.net)
21:28 < MosesMPP> reading it over
21:29 < srevilak> Actually, I should have said 663 claimants.  GCHQ is
        the respondent
21:30 < srevilak> Paragraph 40 is also interesting.  Appears that
        surveilling millions of people is not a burden, but responding to 663
        that are concerned about surveillance is a burden
21:30 < MosesMPP> love it so far
21:31 < srevilak> Thanks MosesMPP
21:32 < jokeefe> if no other comments, then you should be all set sending
        it srevilak
21:33 < srevilak>  jokeefe: will do
21:33 < MosesMPP> how do i do that?
21:33 < MosesMPP> oh nvm
