(11/16/2008 01:18:14 PM) tsunam: NeddySeagoon: right, but I thought we were keeping it at 12 *shrugs*
(11/16/2008 01:18:16 PM) tsunam: apparently not
(11/16/2008 01:18:22 PM) fmccor: I think it was always complete --- no change is needed to split trustee/officer role.
(11/16/2008 01:18:32 PM) NeddySeagoon: Its 19:00 UTC whenever that is
(11/16/2008 01:18:45 PM) tsunam: hehe
(11/16/2008 01:18:55 PM) fmccor: The bylaws assume a split and explain what happens when there isn't one.

(11/16/2008 01:21:13 PM) tsunam: when I checked about 2-3 weeks ago they hadn't
(11/16/2008 01:21:24 PM) tsunam: and that was a month or so after I'd submitted the change request
(11/16/2008 01:21:49 PM) tsunam: however..
(11/16/2008 01:21:54 PM) tsunam: http://www.gentoo.org/foundation/en/funds.xml <---there's been updates
(11/16/2008 01:22:13 PM) NeddySeagoon: I guess the government is busy with elections and banking crisis :)

(11/16/2008 01:24:57 PM) tsunam: and add 2007/2008 contributors
(11/16/2008 01:25:14 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: tsunam: dmwaters (via proxy) wants to know what our balance is currently
(11/16/2008 01:25:18 PM) tsunam: NeddySeagoon: hopefully next week. I need to get last quarters 3 months
(11/16/2008 01:25:24 PM) tsunam: excluding banking

(11/16/2008 01:25:54 PM) tsunam: assuming firefox doesn't crash
(11/16/2008 01:26:17 PM) tsunam: hmm
(11/16/2008 01:26:32 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: dmwaters would like the balance to better inform her voting
(11/16/2008 01:26:49 PM) tsunam: *grumbles at paypal*
(11/16/2008 01:27:48 PM) NeddySeagoon: lets move on while paypal thinks ...
(11/16/2008 01:28:10 PM) NeddySeagoon: 3. Consider and approve (if thought fit) revised bylaws
(11/16/2008 01:28:40 PM) NeddySeagoon: The bylaws have been updated in line with the tracker bug ... apart from a typo.
(11/16/2008 01:28:58 PM) NeddySeagoon: fmccor It's fine with me.  My only comment at this point was a typo in 4.4 
(11/16/2008 01:29:39 PM) tsunam: just shy of 20k
(11/16/2008 01:29:42 PM) NeddySeagoon: Do we need to discuss or is there a motion to adopt the revised bylaws ?
(11/16/2008 01:29:43 PM) fmccor: "Their" is spelled "there"
(11/16/2008 01:29:49 PM) fmccor: So moved
(11/16/2008 01:30:09 PM) NeddySeagoon: Is there a seconder ?
(11/16/2008 01:30:30 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: dmwaters seconds

(11/16/2008 01:32:21 PM) NeddySeagoon: We need to notify members ... 
(11/16/2008 01:32:38 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: shall I draft an email?
(11/16/2008 01:32:51 PM) NeddySeagoon: quantumsummers, yes please
(11/16/2008 01:32:56 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: linking to the new bylaws & this meeting

(11/16/2008 01:34:20 PM) NeddySeagoon: tsunam, is musikc around ?
(11/16/2008 01:34:31 PM) tsunam: not sure if she's around right now
(11/16/2008 01:34:52 PM) NeddySeagoon: Its about a month since I've seen her on IRC
(11/16/2008 01:35:06 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: this should likely be closed, as musikc updated the store
(11/16/2008 01:35:18 PM) tsunam: tsunam * gentoo/xml/htdocs/foundation/en/ (2007q1.xml 2007q2.xml 2007q3.xml  2007q4.xml): its good to actually cvs add them
(11/16/2008 01:35:20 PM) fmccor: I spoke with her a couple weeks ago briefly.
(11/16/2008 01:35:24 PM) tsunam: ^^^ should be fixed in ~ hour
(11/16/2008 01:35:45 PM) NeddySeagoon: musikc, has done some short term fixes ...  she was working  on long term maintainance 
(11/16/2008 01:36:17 PM) NeddySeagoon: 236863 Bylaws Tracker Bug ... I guess we should close that and start a new one
(11/16/2008 01:37:52 PM) fmccor: Or just note on it that there's nothing outstanding as of the date of the comment.
(11/16/2008 01:37:57 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: dmwaters agrees with closing the existing bug & open new, tracking the newly approved bylaws

(11/16/2008 01:38:08 PM) fmccor: :)
(11/16/2008 01:38:50 PM) NeddySeagoon: fmccor, 56711 Retire: Renat Lumpau (rl03)  I thought you were in discussions with rl03 ?
(11/16/2008 01:39:33 PM) fmccor: I haven't spoken with him at all recently.  I'd close this one and let nature take its course.
fmccor fmccor|away 
(11/16/2008 01:40:01 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: dmwaters agrees with fmccor
(11/16/2008 01:40:07 PM) NeddySeagoon: fmccor, give it one more try then post a comment on the bug please
(11/16/2008 01:40:11 PM) fmccor: If I was supposed to be contacting him, I flat out forgot about it.
(11/16/2008 01:40:19 PM) fmccor: Will do.
(11/16/2008 01:40:21 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: ahha
(11/16/2008 01:40:39 PM) NeddySeagoon: 245227 Replacement Drive for Osprey ... blanket limit for repairs
(11/16/2008 01:41:38 PM) NeddySeagoon: We should set a $ limit for infra repairs so we don't have to vote on this sort of stuff 
(11/16/2008 01:42:10 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: $X/month?
(11/16/2008 01:42:13 PM) tsunam: well I'd like to know the total number of servers we own and their age
(11/16/2008 01:42:21 PM) NeddySeagoon: either per repair or an annual repair budget
(11/16/2008 01:42:21 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: I would too
(11/16/2008 01:42:23 PM) tsunam: to make an informed decision about that
(11/16/2008 01:42:38 PM) tsunam: the older the boxes the more there needs to be in the repair budget
(11/16/2008 01:42:47 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: I can write a little asset tracker app for this
(11/16/2008 01:42:49 PM) NeddySeagoon: tsunam, or replaced.
(11/16/2008 01:42:51 PM) tsunam: and if we own say 2 boxes...shouldn't need that much annually
(11/16/2008 01:43:05 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: dmwaters is aware of some rather old machines
(11/16/2008 01:43:12 PM) fmccor: robbat2 can provide that.
(11/16/2008 01:43:16 PM) NeddySeagoon: We should need to vote funds for replacement but not always for repairs
(11/16/2008 01:43:24 PM) tsunam: NeddySeagoon: aye..but that's a seperate issue for budget
(11/16/2008 01:43:38 PM) NeddySeagoon: tsunam, agreed
(11/16/2008 01:43:49 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: appears that a reasonable monthly $ amount is necessary for repairs
(11/16/2008 01:44:20 PM) NeddySeagoon: anyway, the issue right now is Osprey ... the bug has two approving trustees ... we need one more
(11/16/2008 01:44:37 PM) NeddySeagoon: longer term, this process needs to be slicker
(11/16/2008 01:44:55 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: dmwaters likes voting on replacement of machines (i.e. large expenses), but prefers no vote for small repairs
(11/16/2008 01:45:18 PM) tsunam: it has mine
(11/16/2008 01:45:18 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: dmwaters votes yes
(11/16/2008 01:45:24 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: unanimous
(11/16/2008 01:46:05 PM) NeddySeagoon: We can buy the drive and send it to OUSL or robbat can and be reimbursed. 
(11/16/2008 01:46:11 PM) fmccor: Probably easiest to "Paypal" the $48 or whatever it is to ramereth
(11/16/2008 01:46:19 PM) tsunam: sadly not right now
(11/16/2008 01:46:20 PM) NeddySeagoon: fmccor, ok
(11/16/2008 01:46:29 PM) tsunam: no ability to paypal from one paypal account to another
(11/16/2008 01:46:42 PM) tsunam: that's related to the lack of an active bank account
(11/16/2008 01:46:48 PM) tsunam: best I could do is mail a check
(11/16/2008 01:46:48 PM) fmccor: Oh.
(11/16/2008 01:46:53 PM) tsunam: via paypal =/
(11/16/2008 01:47:20 PM) NeddySeagoon: hehe .. that would be a personal cheque from you though ?
(11/16/2008 01:47:24 PM) tsunam: nope
(11/16/2008 01:47:30 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: are you certain you can send a check via paypal?
(11/16/2008 01:47:36 PM) tsunam: *nods*
(11/16/2008 01:47:51 PM) fmccor: That works.  As long as they know that's happening, I'd think that between them they could get the drive.
(11/16/2008 01:47:58 PM) NeddySeagoon: tsunam, discuss it with ramereth please
(11/16/2008 01:47:59 PM) tsunam: i had just looked there's a 500 dollar limit currently per month
(11/16/2008 01:48:07 PM) tsunam: will do
(11/16/2008 01:48:23 PM) NeddySeagoon: longer term what do we need ?
(11/16/2008 01:48:32 PM) NeddySeagoon: Info to set a budget I suppose ?
(11/16/2008 01:48:39 PM) tsunam: yep
(11/16/2008 01:48:42 PM) fmccor: Yes.
(11/16/2008 01:49:18 PM) NeddySeagoon: tsunam, can you write up what info you need and email it to trustees@  and infras alias please
(11/16/2008 01:49:26 PM) tsunam: sure

(11/16/2008 01:49:36 PM) tsunam: as far as a budget or ?
(11/16/2008 01:50:13 PM) NeddySeagoon: Information ... if you want infra to suggest a number, theres no harm in that but we don't have to agree it
(11/16/2008 01:50:19 PM) tsunam: k
(11/16/2008 01:50:21 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: dmwaters thinks $200 is appropriate for a blanket amount to be used emergency repairs
(11/16/2008 01:50:37 PM) tsunam: that'd cover a hard drive or two
(11/16/2008 01:50:45 PM) tsunam: but wouldn't likely cover a raid controller for instance
(11/16/2008 01:50:52 PM) NeddySeagoon: robbat2 has some ideas too but hes marked |na just now
(11/16/2008 01:50:54 PM) tsunam: its a tough thing to come up with :-P

(11/16/2008 01:52:50 PM) tsunam: dmwaters is aware what our current income per quarter is correct?
(11/16/2008 01:53:17 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: wellm it appears to be ~1K/month in 2006
(11/16/2008 01:53:18 PM) tsunam: or at least historically been 
(11/16/2008 01:53:28 PM) tsunam: 1-2k is approximately correct

(11/16/2008 01:54:26 PM) quantumsummers|Corsair: *her
(11/16/2008 01:55:08 PM) NeddySeagoon: dmwaters idea is noted we will take it into account when we formulate budgets.  The $200 limit could be applied in other areas too, its just infra brought the topic up
(11/16/2008 01:55:27 PM) fmccor: quantumsummers, I think robbat2 was OK with that for things other than major acquisitions.
