Reminders

A reminder that we have a General Meeting on Sun., June 16th, 2-4pm. It will be at 140 Holliston Street Medway, MA. If you are Facebook and plan to attend, please join the event.

Cryptocurrency Conference

Conferences tend to take a lot of our time. We need to be finding and preparing candidates for 2014. Having a cryptocurrency conference in Sept. will likely be a distraction from our election plans in 2014 and getting our platform finalized. Jokeefe suggests cancelling it.

[9:06pm] black_van: Hey [9:07pm] Bluestreak: Hello there [9:07pm] jokeefe: hi black_van [9:07pm] jokeefe: Bluestreak, please run the meeting, I will be back soon [9:07pm] Bluestreak: LOL [9:08pm] srevilak: (more web) I've been tintering with statusnet. Might be worth setting up an instance at some point [9:08pm] Bluestreak: Tell us more about that. [9:09pm] Bluestreak: No pressure [9:09pm] srevilak: it's the software that runs https://identi.ca/ [9:10pm] srevilak: Kind of a distributed, host-your-own twitter. w/o 140 char limitation [9:10pm] srevilak: and it does polls [9:11pm] Bluestreak: So what do you mean by setting up an instance? [9:11pm] srevilak: You can uses statusnet in two ways. Via the author's site (identi.ca), or you run it on your own site [9:12pm] srevilak: "set up instance" means "run on our site" [9:12pm] Bluestreak: So... you would put it on the blog? [9:13pm] srevilak: sort of. next to the blog. In the same way that wiki is next to the blog [9:13pm] jokeefe: sounds good [9:13pm] Bluestreak: And it's like Twitter? [9:13pm] Bluestreak: Oh you're back! [9:14pm] srevilak: yes, basically like twitter. [9:14pm] srevilak: The author has a vision of social web sites that work like email [9:14pm] srevilak: w/email any two people can exchange messages. Regardless of mail provider [9:14pm] srevilak: Social sites should work the same way [9:14pm] srevilak: Anyway, done digressing [9:15pm] Kendra_: I have a bunch of flyers for the conference left and might be able to go Friday. I am also going to the Allied Media Conference in Detroit next week, so let me know if I should carry forth a Pirate Party message there. it seems like surveillance is the hot topic. Also I don't know if I can add this, but I have been talking with the Socialist Alternative for about a month and they have gotten Irish native Seamu [9:16pm] jokeefe: did you get cut off Kendra_? [9:17pm] Bluestreak: Certainly you should network with any MA based media you meet out there. [9:17pm] Bluestreak: Flyers are good. [9:17pm] passstab joined the chat room. [9:17pm] jokeefe: hi passstab [9:17pm] jokeefe: agree with Bluestreak [9:18pm] Bluestreak: If Kendra is taking a break... [9:18pm] Kendra_: Too many periods. Support= a couple of things, but I am on a fishing expedtion to figure out if they are in sync with the Pirate Party and getting mixed reviews. They are leftists and Marxists, but international unioniists. I don 't know what endorsing/supporting this candidate would entail, outside of promoting third party candidates They are not a registered political party. [9:18pm] Bluestreak: I'd like to talk about the D'Ambrosio PC plan? [9:18pm] Bluestreak: Oops shes back [9:19pm] Bluestreak: You can always focus on coalition building when you cant directly build the party [9:20pm] Bluestreak: Then drift can occur between groups [9:21pm] Kendra_: This is where organizing gets tricky, building alliances and figuring out what the skeletons in the closet might be. PP is actually a registered party while SA is not, if that matters. Not to break from the agenda though. [9:21pm] jokeefe: If he wants our endorsement, then he should ask for it. Suggest putting it on Sunday's agenda [9:22pm] Bluestreak: We work with Occupy and they arent a party either [9:22pm] jokeefe: I will be at Cease & Desist rally tomorrow. Anyone else? [9:22pm] Kendra_: Sounds like a plan, we can discuss on Sunday and I'll fishout the details. [9:22pm] Kendra_: I am off work tomorrow and will do my best to make it. [9:23pm] Bluestreak: Have fun storming the castle! [9:24pm] Bluestreak: Will you also have time Friday to get Guy back on line? [9:24pm] jokeefe: great, lets keep in touch. it looks like the march starts at 5:30pm from Dewey Sq. [9:24pm] Bluestreak: Do they even have an ISP any longer? [9:25pm] jokeefe: ? [9:25pm] jokeefe: any other committee reports besides the democracy/tech's ? [9:25pm] Bluestreak: Sorry thought you were done [9:25pm] black_van: our post on reddit recieved 2000 vies [9:25pm] jokeefe: no didn't understand the question [9:26pm] srevilak: I might be able to make 5:30. Might as well go down and see who's there [9:26pm] jokeefe: cool, black_van [9:26pm] Bluestreak: I'd like to talk about the D'Ambrosio PC plan? [9:27pm] jokeefe: I am trying to get it to them. possibly tomorrow evening [9:27pm] Bluestreak: So *after* the rally? [9:28pm] jokeefe: yes [9:28pm] srevilak: jokeefe: do you still have that dilemma we spoke about earlier? [9:28pm] jokeefe: no, I think I have it. I will test it in the morning [9:28pm] jokeefe: thanks! [9:29pm] Bluestreak: If Jamie is too busy Steve, maybe you and I could take care of it Saturday? [9:29pm] srevilak: I can write out the answer and leave it in your mailbox [9:29pm] srevilak: Bluestreak: sure, we can drop off a CPU on sat. [9:29pm] srevilak: if jokeefe is too busy [9:30pm] jokeefe: That sounds even better! [9:30pm] Bluestreak: So If you can get the PC to Steve, I will make sure he gets there. [9:30pm] Bluestreak: Arlington is much easier right? [9:30pm] jokeefe: Works. Need to get the monitor from EG. [9:30pm] Bluestreak: My monitor doesnt work? [9:30pm] jokeefe: yes, Arlington is great [9:31pm] jokeefe: It does, but EG's is newer [9:31pm] srevilak: well, just let me know what you need me to do [9:31pm] Bluestreak: Oh, OK [9:31pm] Bluestreak: I will ask Evan if he wants to go, too. Road trip! [9:32pm] srevilak: I can also bring a second Mint machine, if need be [9:32pm] Bluestreak: Why didnt you say so sooner? [9:32pm] jokeefe: Evan was planning, but needed a ride. Perhaps, you two could connect and go up together. He knows where they live. [9:32pm] jokeefe: Yours were newer [9:32pm] jokeefe: Bluestreak [9:32pm] Bluestreak: LOL [9:33pm] Bluestreak: We can work this out later by email [9:33pm] jokeefe: yes [9:33pm] srevilak: agreed [9:33pm] Bluestreak: Just eager to get it done [9:33pm] jokeefe: next - 2nd Cammy Dee Probable Cause hearing - June 27th - we already endorsed, just need to get people to it.
