[9:09pm] Pirate_Joe: So, I came across a good deal for a sailboat. I am happy to buy the boat for myself. That said, this would be an amazing symbol to our party. [9:09pm] Pirate_Joe: I know how to fully repair it. Currently it is seaworthy but could use a bit of touching up. [9:11pm] jokeefe: Would be a fun activity. We could certainly have a boat cruise fundraiser then. [9:11pm] Pirate_Joe: New paint job, etc. [9:11pm] Pirate_Joe: Total cost would be $700 [9:11pm] Pirate_Joe: I would be happy to make this my in-kind but then would have to receive $200 back. [9:11pm] Pirate_Joe: When complete, we could use it as a strong fund-raising tool by giving out rides for donations. [9:11pm] ChristineR: That's a great idea! [9:12pm] Pirate_Joe: Plus having a yearly meeting on our own vessel would really mark us as true pirates. Arrrg [9:13pm] jokeefe: Sounds fun. I suggest we talk about it on Sunday when more people can be involved. [9:13pm] Pirate_Joe: Sounds good. [9:14pm] Pirate_Joe: I am going to go see the person about the boat this Saturday. I'll have more info Sunday. [9:14pm] jokeefe: Great. I look forward to the pictures. [9:15pm] jokeefe: Projects [9:15pm] jokeefe: Regional Meetings [9:15pm] jokeefe: No update on the Holyoke meeting. [9:16pm] jokeefe: What should discuss at Sunday's meeting? [9:16pm] ChristineR: I will be unable to attend Sunday's meeting unfortunately [9:17pm] Pirate_Joe: O no!

[9:26pm] • srevilak waves hi [9:26pm] jokeefe: Ahoy srevilak [9:26pm] jokeefe: Topics you want to discuss at Sunday’s meeting? [9:26pm] Pirate_Joe: Platform, I was hoping to focus on our foundation. [9:26pm] ChristineR: Hey Steve! [9:27pm] srevilak: Hi ChristineR [9:27pm] Pirate_Joe: Ahoy srevilak [9:27pm] srevilak: platform sounds like a fine topic [9:28pm] srevilak: Though I might like to say a few words about p0wned telcos [9:28pm] srevilak: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/06/25/global_telcos_hacked/ [9:29pm] jokeefe: Yeah, that one was wild. They seem to happen every year or two [9:30pm] ChristineR: Jamie, email sent [9:30pm] srevilak: But in this case, the intruders really went out of their way to make themselves at home. That's what impressed me [9:31pm] jokeefe: thanks ChristineR [9:31pm] jokeefe: ah. I thought it had been an error. Didn’t realize it was a hack. [9:31pm] srevilak: 10:30 am on Sunday? [9:31pm] jokeefe: No 2pm [9:31pm] srevilak: kthx [9:31pm] ChristineR: That's crazy [9:32pm] jokeefe: Other topics for Sunday? [9:33pm] ChristineR: Perhaps we should discuss in more detail, how we might be able to spark interest in people setting up local chapters again? [9:33pm] Pirate_Joe: That is one we are talking about at the national level as well. [9:34pm] jokeefe: Agreed [9:34pm] ChristineR: This came up in a recent IRC here, a couple weeks back, but we weren't sure how to proceed. It might be easier to brainstorm in person [9:34pm] Pirate_Joe: Sending photo's of boat now. [9:35pm] jokeefe: agreed ChristineR [9:35pm] jokeefe: Anything more to discuss on this topic? [9:37pm] jokeefe: Moving on to Video Newsletter [9:37pm] jokeefe: Record a brief one Sunday? [9:38pm] jokeefe: in my back yard? [9:38pm] Pirate_Joe: Or on a new boat, depending. [9:38pm] jokeefe: Will you be parking it on my street? [9:38pm] jokeefe: my camera and srevilak’s microphone? [9:39pm] Pirate_Joe: We could shortly, but I think we would quickly stop traffic. [9:39pm] jokeefe: microphones [9:39pm] Pirate_Joe: I sent the photos [9:40pm] srevilak: Sounds like we're talking about pirate social. [9:40pm] srevilak: Isn't that saturday, not Sunday? [9:40pm] ChristineR: [9:40pm] jokeefe: next in person recording then [9:40pm] Pirate_Joe: So I am looking at a boat, happy to donate it to the party for what I am getting. [9:41pm] Pirate_Joe: Yeah, we can do a recording so long as the weather holds. Should I bring a popup tent? [9:41pm] jokeefe: There was a mistake on my part, srevilak. Sunday was the day with the largest turn out. [9:41pm] jokeefe: 2pm Sunday [9:41pm] jokeefe: Sure, Pirate_Joe. Thanks [9:41pm] srevilak: Ah, now I get it.
