21:23 < jokeefe>  Status of Ballot Measures Poll
21:23 < jokeefe>
        https://masspirates.org/crew/forms/massachusetts-2016-ballot-questions
21:23 < papegaai> Title: Massachusetts 2016 Ballot Questions | Mass
        Pirates Crew (at masspirates.org)
21:23 < srevilak> Two responses so far
21:23 < jokeefe> enough detail?
21:24 < jokeefe> what should the deadline be?
21:25 < srevilak> How about two weeks from now, or October 1?
21:25 < Bluestreak> OK
21:26 < jokeefe> I would prefer October 7th, because I won’t get a
        chance to email members this week
21:27 < jokeefe> trying to keep emails to one item each
21:27 < jokeefe> trying
21:27 < srevilak> Fine by me
21:27 < jokeefe> should we put it in a blog post or just leave it to
        people we can email?
21:28 < srevilak> Could you take the email text and turn it into a
        blog post?
21:30 < jokeefe> yes
21:31 < jokeefe> just thinking it is more likely to be stuffed if we
        put it on the blog.  I suppose that is a remote possibility
21:31 < srevilak> jokeefe: that's a good point.  Keeping to email is
        probably a better way to get opinions of our supporters
21:32 < jokeefe> Will email multiple times
21:34 < jokeefe> other opinions?
21:36 < Bluestreak> Honestly I can barely keep my eyes open, sorry for
        being useless.
21:36 < jokeefe> moving on then.
21:36 < jokeefe> Wikileaks Birthday is 10/4
21:37 < jokeefe> celebration?
21:37 < srevilak> I think it's a tradition by now :)
