meteoriot (6:35:48 PM): aye?

bardkerbie (6:35:53 PM): aye

shift to arcadia (6:36:11 PM) has been invited.

meteoriot (6:36:24 PM): hey chris

shift to arcadia (6:36:28 PM): hey man

bardkerbie (6:36:29 PM): ah

shift to arcadia (6:36:39 PM): just the three of us, then?

meteoriot (6:36:43 PM): man, i guess

bardkerbie (6:36:45 PM): yep

shift to arcadia (6:36:56 PM): bummer

meteoriot (6:37:20 PM): liz and tricia said they could make it, but i haven't seen them around the last day or 2

shift to arcadia (6:37:48 PM): well lets hope

meteoriot (6:38:17 PM): yeah

meteoriot (6:38:31 PM): joe's working, ali's working till 1030

meteoriot (6:38:39 PM): we can still talk about some stuff, though

meteoriot (6:38:43 PM): http://www.losethelabel.org/node/912

meteoriot (6:38:45 PM): this thing

shift to arcadia (6:38:50 PM): good deal

bardkerbie (6:38:52 PM): k

shift to arcadia (6:39:01 PM): yeah i've been thinking about that outreach coordinator thing

bardkerbie (6:39:05 PM): gimme a second, i'm still getting my laptop set up

meteoriot (6:39:10 PM): k grant

shift to arcadia (6:39:14 PM): sure

meteoriot (6:39:14 PM): yeah chris?

meteoriot (6:39:17 PM): are you going to take it?

meteoriot (6:39:30 PM): be a hero

meteoriot (6:39:32 PM): c'mon

shift to arcadia (6:39:53 PM): well, i'm headed back to college this fall, and i'm not sure how focused i could be on it on the second semester, especially given how rigorous it could get. but i'd love to volunteer for as long as i'm able

shift to arcadia (6:40:07 PM): rigorous as in, my school work

meteoriot (6:40:23 PM): hmm

meteoriot (6:40:49 PM): well, with that kind of stuff, maybe you could create a group and just make sure responsibilities get delegated

meteoriot (6:40:55 PM): more of an administrative role

bardkerbie (6:41:10 PM): yeah, it doesn't seem to be that involved

shift to arcadia (6:41:23 PM): that makes sense, i'd definitely be up for it

bardkerbie (6:41:25 PM): basically, you badger ppl

meteoriot (6:41:29 PM): http://www.losethelabel.org/node/828

meteoriot (6:41:57 PM): "This person's job wouldn't be to do all the outreach, but rather to make sure that it's getting done."

shift to arcadia (6:42:07 PM): then i'm totally there

meteoriot (6:42:25 PM): cool

bardkerbie (6:42:42 PM): speaking of outreach, why don'ts i give you an update on t-shirts

veggie519 (6:42:47 PM) has been invited.

shift to arcadia (6:42:58 PM): oh do

bardkerbie (6:43:03 PM): ok

bardkerbie (6:43:03 PM): so

veggie519 (6:43:11 PM): hello

meteoriot (6:43:19 PM): hey liz

shift to arcadia (6:43:21 PM): heya. welcome

bardkerbie (6:43:32 PM): our ideas for merch (to start, at least) were t-shirts and stickers/decals

bardkerbie (6:43:58 PM): basically, something that both advertises the site and brings in a little cash

shift to arcadia (6:44:15 PM): sounds good. good n' basic. any design planned, or just "lose the label"?

bardkerbie (6:44:23 PM): we've got some design ideas

bardkerbie (6:44:26 PM): i'd like a few more

bardkerbie (6:44:32 PM): but we've got enough to start

bardkerbie (6:44:50 PM): two major issues remain: where to make them, and where to take the money

meteoriot (6:45:08 PM): (i'll track down the link to the design ideas)

bardkerbie (6:45:10 PM): after doing some research, i'm inclined to go with cafepress

meteoriot (6:45:43 PM): http://www.losethelabel.org/node/884

shift to arcadia (6:45:49 PM): i've heard of it, but havent checked it out at all. is it like a paypalish thing?

bardkerbie (6:45:54 PM): sort of

meteoriot (6:46:01 PM): i've used cafepress

meteoriot (6:46:03 PM): it's easy

bardkerbie (6:46:11 PM): more like "set up a store, we'll make the stuff, and give you a cut of the cash"

bardkerbie (6:46:17 PM): yeah

shift to arcadia (6:46:21 PM): gotcha

meteoriot (6:46:27 PM): where to take the money, though?

bardkerbie (6:46:29 PM): and they have a wide range of available merchandise options, which is nice

meteoriot (6:46:42 PM): i'm inclined to just give it to you grant, so you can just feed it right back into tech stuff

bardkerbie (6:46:54 PM): i'm thinking of just feeding it into a paypal account

meteoriot (6:47:11 PM): doesn't it have to be under a name?

bardkerbie (6:47:16 PM): because it'll earn interest, and we can then just funnel it into projects by doing paypal transfers

bardkerbie (6:47:19 PM): yes and no

bardkerbie (6:47:26 PM): we can create a business account

meteoriot (6:47:41 PM): no fee?

shift to arcadia (6:47:48 PM): dont we need a bank account set aside for that?

bardkerbie (6:48:06 PM): nope and nope

meteoriot (6:48:11 PM): ok

meteoriot (6:48:17 PM): so...

shift to arcadia (6:48:19 PM): alrighty

meteoriot (6:48:32 PM): a cafepress account wired to a paypal account, then the money goes to >>>>>>?

bardkerbie (6:48:35 PM): the merchant account charges fees for direct credit card transactions

meteoriot (6:48:39 PM): projects?

meteoriot (6:48:51 PM): what about tech upgrades?

bardkerbie (6:48:51 PM): basically, whatever we deem it wise to spend money on

meteoriot (6:48:57 PM): like the reverse bounty stuff

bardkerbie (6:49:07 PM): that's a definite possibility

meteoriot (6:49:24 PM): i suppose we could leave it fluid for now

bardkerbie (6:49:37 PM): publicity/outreach would be another option

meteoriot (6:49:47 PM): yeah

bardkerbie (6:49:49 PM): activism scholarships, etc would be another

meteoriot (6:50:00 PM): chris, it'd be rad if i could give you an outreach budget

shift to arcadia (6:50:09 PM): i'd be all for it

bardkerbie (6:50:11 PM): it would be rad to have budgets period

meteoriot (6:50:14 PM): yeah

shift to arcadia (6:50:18 PM): haha

meteoriot (6:50:20 PM): indeed

meteoriot (6:50:34 PM): hmm

shift to arcadia (6:50:39 PM): well the income will be low to start, so i doubt we'll be stuck with a lot of dough and no clue where to stick it

meteoriot (6:50:49 PM): yeah

shift to arcadia (6:50:59 PM): if you want, we can focus on tech stuff while the merch thing is taking off, and then funnel the money into other aspects of the site

meteoriot (6:51:22 PM): yeah, my instinct is to invest in the site first

bardkerbie (6:51:26 PM): yeah

meteoriot (6:51:30 PM): especially since the merch IS outreach

bardkerbie (6:51:35 PM): yes

shift to arcadia (6:51:36 PM): exactly

meteoriot (6:51:47 PM): plus we'll have some other outreach presence from volunteers

meteoriot (6:52:09 PM): so it'll be most important to give them a good product to look at

meteoriot (6:52:14 PM): and that means making the site better

shift to arcadia (6:52:44 PM): definitely-- the smoother the site, the more attractive it is

bardkerbie (6:52:49 PM): yep

meteoriot (6:52:58 PM): if we have a paypal account, can we solicit for direct donations to it?

bardkerbie (6:53:07 PM): i think so

bardkerbie (6:53:19 PM): doing that is really easy

shift to arcadia (6:53:19 PM): i've seen it done on other websites

bardkerbie (6:53:32 PM): paypal gives you code for a donation button

bardkerbie (6:53:41 PM): it's just a matter of where to put it

meteoriot (6:54:02 PM): yeah

shift to arcadia (6:54:15 PM): how about after that "welcome/about us" paragraph on the front page?

shift to arcadia (6:54:27 PM): or would that be too ostentatious?

meteoriot (6:54:45 PM): aren't we kind of at drupal's mercy?

bardkerbie (6:55:14 PM): yes and no

bardkerbie (6:55:34 PM): i can make drupal do whatever we want it to do, either directly, or though someone else

bardkerbie (6:55:52 PM): it's just a matter of how much time and energy we want to devote to it

bardkerbie (6:56:17 PM): i can insert the code into a sidebar block, or we can put it directly on the page

meteoriot (6:56:31 PM): maybe we should wait for the new theme

meteoriot (6:56:52 PM): i think front page would be preferable, for visibility's sake

meteoriot (6:57:03 PM): but not too in your face, either

shift to arcadia (6:57:07 PM): agreed

bardkerbie (6:57:17 PM): done and done

meteoriot (6:57:27 PM): about the new theme...

bardkerbie (6:57:30 PM): speaking of themes/the site(tm)

meteoriot (6:57:34 PM): how bout that new theme?

bardkerbie (6:57:38 PM): any more feature requests?

meteoriot (6:57:56 PM): http://www.losethelabel.org/node/912

bardkerbie (6:57:56 PM): i'm tweaking the theme concept we came up with just a bit

shift to arcadia (6:57:57 PM): give me the rundown, beacuse in terms of the new theme, i'm out of the loop

meteoriot (6:57:59 PM): this was all i had

veggie519 (6:58:03 PM): not from me... when are we thinking of doing the switch?

bardkerbie (6:58:11 PM): whenever i get it done

meteoriot (6:58:22 PM): have you been working on it?

meteoriot (6:58:27 PM): making progress?

bardkerbie (6:58:31 PM): which shouldn't be too long, considering that i'm effectively unemployed until october

bardkerbie (6:58:34 PM): yeah

bardkerbie (6:58:43 PM): the tricky part's going to be the wall/profile stuff

bardkerbie (6:58:58 PM): because i'm essentially writing brand new theme code

bardkerbie (6:59:22 PM): but i'll have a functional mockup soon

meteoriot (6:59:25 PM): hmm

bardkerbie (6:59:32 PM): no worries

meteoriot (6:59:37 PM): will you have it on Dev?

bardkerbie (6:59:43 PM): yeah

bardkerbie (6:59:51 PM): i'll post the functional mockup on dev

meteoriot (6:59:54 PM): maybe we can test it out more this time

meteoriot (7:00:05 PM): chris and liz, do you have accounts on the dev site?

bardkerbie (7:00:08 PM): for your reference, here's theme development

shift to arcadia (7:00:16 PM): no account

meteoriot (7:00:21 PM): http://dev.losethelabel.org/

veggie519 (7:00:24 PM): ummmm

bardkerbie (7:00:38 PM): photoshop ---> functional mockup ----> working drupal theme ---> profit

meteoriot (7:00:38 PM): grant, how would you feel if we invaded the sandbox?

bardkerbie (7:01:05 PM): *shrug*

bardkerbie (7:01:09 PM): go for it

bardkerbie (7:01:14 PM): not much to invade right now

meteoriot (7:01:25 PM): yeah

meteoriot (7:01:43 PM): but when you have some new gadgets up, it'd be cool if there were more of us testing them

bardkerbie (7:01:48 PM): indeed

veggie519 (7:01:52 PM): do you think that we should have accounts on the dev site?

meteoriot (7:01:54 PM): cause back in spring it was mostly just me

meteoriot (7:01:58 PM): more feedback would be better

meteoriot (7:02:00 PM): so we can shape it more

bardkerbie (7:02:12 PM): hmm

bardkerbie (7:02:18 PM): lemme do this

bardkerbie (7:02:38 PM): i'm going to set up the site so that all LtL accounts work on dev

bardkerbie (7:02:46 PM): i'll let you know when it's readt

bardkerbie (7:02:48 PM): brb

meteoriot (7:02:59 PM): sweetness

meteoriot (7:03:01 PM): k

shift to arcadia (7:03:01 PM): yeah, im having troulbe figuring out how to create one

veggie519 (7:03:03 PM): la la.

veggie519 (7:03:15 PM): i don't think i will get one

meteoriot (7:03:25 PM): while he's gone, chris, do you want to talk about the outreach a bit?

meteoriot (7:03:43 PM): like maybe we can come up with some first steps

shift to arcadia (7:03:53 PM): sure. give me the lowdown on google analytic. because i checked it out, but im a bit confused

meteoriot (7:04:09 PM): ok

meteoriot (7:04:14 PM): do you have a google account?

shift to arcadia (7:04:17 PM): yes

shift to arcadia (7:04:32 PM): i even have a google analytic account, i believe

meteoriot (7:04:39 PM): hmmm ok, what's your addy?

shift to arcadia (7:05:20 PM): no address. but my handle is guybrush122

shift to arcadia (7:05:53 PM): oh i lied, i created the analytic account under the fake address www.test.com

meteoriot (7:06:19 PM): ok, i think you need a gmail account

shift to arcadia (7:06:41 PM): hmmm, i'll create one

meteoriot (7:06:51 PM): aright

shift to arcadia (7:07:05 PM): i love how i just googled gmail

veggie519 (7:07:21 PM): haha

veggie519 (7:07:23 PM): that's great

veggie519 (7:07:49 PM): hey, i was thinking...

veggie519 (7:08:10 PM): what i want to be really into is petitions

veggie519 (7:08:12 PM): like

veggie519 (7:08:14 PM): searching them out

veggie519 (7:08:21 PM): and posting as many as possible all the time on the sitte

veggie519 (7:08:23 PM): ?

veggie519 (7:08:24 PM): eh?

meteoriot (7:08:30 PM): absolutely

meteoriot (7:08:48 PM): actually, it'd be cool if we had a petitions tab

meteoriot (7:08:54 PM): and could just keep adding to it

meteoriot (7:08:57 PM): like a neverending wiki

shift to arcadia (7:09:14 PM): thats a damn good idea

veggie519 (7:09:17 PM): you know, because they are easy. and students like to procrastinate and why not by signing a petitions. tab = good idea

meteoriot (7:09:47 PM): yeah, it'd be good to add more actions

meteoriot (7:09:59 PM): i'm curious to see the new theme

meteoriot (7:10:03 PM): that determines a lot

meteoriot (7:10:36 PM): let's shift back to outreach for a sec

meteoriot (7:10:45 PM): chris, you said you're going to get busy during the school year

meteoriot (7:11:03 PM): liz, would you be interested in being like... co-outreach coordinator?

veggie519 (7:11:27 PM): uummmm

veggie519 (7:11:37 PM): yes... very interested.

meteoriot (7:11:43 PM): ok

veggie519 (7:11:48 PM): i am going to be an RA though. which is both a good and bad thing

veggie519 (7:11:52 PM): time, but people.

veggie519 (7:11:54 PM): you know?

meteoriot (7:11:57 PM): yeah

meteoriot (7:12:09 PM): well maybe

veggie519 (7:12:14 PM): but, the people thing is a plus.

shift to arcadia (7:12:19 PM): okay, gmail thing finally created

meteoriot (7:12:20 PM): see, the whole thing needs to be a group effort anyway

veggie519 (7:12:27 PM): true

bardkerbie (7:12:29 PM): hai

meteoriot (7:12:35 PM): hey grant

meteoriot (7:12:39 PM): we're talking about outreach

meteoriot (7:12:58 PM): if you guys could handle the badgering, i'll always volunteer for stuff

bardkerbie (7:12:59 PM): k

meteoriot (7:13:13 PM): and i'm sure a lot of us will

meteoriot (7:13:25 PM): it's just a matter of someone being the administrator, thinking it out, planning it out

meteoriot (7:13:31 PM): telling us what we need to do

shift to arcadia (7:13:41 PM): well i'm definitely up for giving it my all

meteoriot (7:13:59 PM): coolness

meteoriot (7:14:13 PM): i think the first step is to find some folks to help you

meteoriot (7:14:21 PM): get a group together

meteoriot (7:14:26 PM): maybe an LtL group

veggie519 (7:14:27 PM): i will, for sure

meteoriot (7:14:30 PM): or a facebook group or something?

bardkerbie (7:14:30 PM): k

bardkerbie (7:14:35 PM): or both

shift to arcadia (7:14:37 PM): definitely

meteoriot (7:14:49 PM): you might try sending a message to the facebook group asking for volunteers

meteoriot (7:14:59 PM): we need to find ways to reengage people

shift to arcadia (7:15:01 PM): i'll fire up my old myspace account, even. see if i cant garner some attention there

meteoriot (7:15:02 PM): this is a good opportunity

meteoriot (7:15:20 PM): the facebook group is dyin over there

meteoriot (7:15:29 PM): like ... i saw a tumbleweed the other day

veggie519 (7:15:39 PM): ...

veggie519 (7:15:40 PM): :0)

veggie519 (7:15:43 PM): good image

shift to arcadia (7:15:43 PM): haha, well ill see what i can do

meteoriot (7:16:00 PM): aright, sounds good

meteoriot (7:16:19 PM): so what should we talk about next?

bardkerbie (7:16:26 PM): 24?

meteoriot (7:16:35 PM): haha

shift to arcadia (7:16:46 PM): keifer baby.

meteoriot (7:16:54 PM): how about top page rotation

meteoriot (7:16:57 PM): http://www.losethelabel.org/node/912

meteoriot (7:17:09 PM): me and joe have been doing tues/thurs, but that's it

veggie519 (7:17:36 PM): ...guilty. sorry/

meteoriot (7:17:51 PM): yeah, i know you haven't had internet tho

shift to arcadia (7:18:01 PM): does rotation refer to open threads, or just daily threads in general?

bardkerbie (7:18:07 PM): brb again

meteoriot (7:18:10 PM): k

meteoriot (7:18:43 PM): you know the "victims, activists and obstacles" post i made a couple weeks ago?

meteoriot (7:18:52 PM): and the other thursday ones i make?

veggie519 (7:18:54 PM): yeah

meteoriot (7:19:04 PM): well, they go to the top and get stuck up there because i click a magic button

meteoriot (7:19:09 PM): so they're like the featured post of the day

shift to arcadia (7:19:35 PM): gotcha

meteoriot (7:19:41 PM): would you be down to take a day?

shift to arcadia (7:19:47 PM): sure

meteoriot (7:19:57 PM): cool

shift to arcadia (7:19:58 PM): i'll do mondays. theyre easy to remember.

shift to arcadia (7:20:04 PM): if theres not an objection to it

meteoriot (7:20:11 PM): not from me

meteoriot (7:20:15 PM): liz?

meteoriot (7:20:34 PM): if you can't, you can't, it's ok

meteoriot (7:20:41 PM): there are 122908987 other ways to contribute

meteoriot (7:20:48 PM): and me and joe can keep going

veggie519 (7:21:04 PM): i can try. i know that's a bad answer

veggie519 (7:21:06 PM): /

veggie519 (7:21:13 PM): i will let you know when

meteoriot (7:21:17 PM): ok

veggie519 (7:21:18 PM): it would have to be a weekend day though

veggie519 (7:21:24 PM): if that's okay

meteoriot (7:21:37 PM): no, for sure. you should get settled in ra'ness before you commit to anything like that anyway

meteoriot (7:21:48 PM): so no worries

veggie519 (7:21:59 PM): okay. cool. but i'll be doing it.

meteoriot (7:22:12 PM): coolness

meteoriot (7:22:24 PM): oh

meteoriot (7:22:26 PM): another thing

meteoriot (7:22:29 PM): the forums

meteoriot (7:22:33 PM): we need to get on that

meteoriot (7:22:38 PM): they're back, but they're quiet

meteoriot (7:22:48 PM): we could do a lot with them, though

meteoriot (7:23:04 PM): i bet we could get good discussions going

meteoriot (7:23:15 PM): there are some things blogs aren't as good for

shift to arcadia (7:24:05 PM): it's hard because it seems, at least to me, that the forums are very inaccessible

shift to arcadia (7:24:19 PM): in terms of finding/using them, when the blog spot is just right there, you know?

veggie519 (7:24:39 PM): i have to (insert euphemism here). brb

meteoriot (7:24:40 PM): yeah, they're kind of tucked off aren't they

meteoriot (7:24:45 PM): k

bardkerbie (7:24:48 PM): poop?

meteoriot (7:25:52 PM): haha ... //// it'd be nice to make them more visible

meteoriot (7:27:07 PM): grant, can you think of anything?

meteoriot (7:27:20 PM): like, for making the forums more prominent?

veggie519 (7:27:23 PM): no, it was pee, i just like the word euphemism

bardkerbie (7:28:27 PM): hmmm

bardkerbie (7:28:52 PM): a couple, but i'd have to try them out first

meteoriot (7:29:10 PM): chris is right, they're pretty hard to find

meteoriot (7:29:19 PM): i bet that's part of why there's not much activity

meteoriot (7:29:31 PM): i try to make the headlines interesting when i post stuff,

bardkerbie (7:29:35 PM): well, that, and it seems like comments do the job most of the time

meteoriot (7:29:41 PM): but they're only visible on the right hand column of the front page

meteoriot (7:29:51 PM): otherwise, you have to search by subject

meteoriot (7:29:59 PM): comments in the open thread, you mean?

bardkerbie (7:31:11 PM): yep

meteoriot (7:31:41 PM): yeah

meteoriot (7:31:51 PM): hmm

meteoriot (7:31:54 PM): that was another thing

meteoriot (7:31:56 PM): the open thread

meteoriot (7:32:10 PM): i was thinking it'd be cool if we called it a Bulletin Board

meteoriot (7:32:19 PM): since a lot of people don't know what an open thread is

meteoriot (7:32:30 PM): and BB would imply, "Please add something here"

bardkerbie (7:32:56 PM): bulletin board brings up entirely different imagery, though

bardkerbie (7:33:03 PM): how about topic of the day

trishkabob2010 (7:33:05 PM) has been invited.

meteoriot (7:33:16 PM): but it needs to be open, too

bardkerbie (7:33:20 PM): ok

meteoriot (7:33:25 PM): topic would guide too much, i think

bardkerbie (7:33:40 PM): how's about argument time

trishkabob2010 (7:33:41 PM): hey guys im so sorry

bardkerbie (7:33:45 PM): j/k

shift to arcadia (7:33:45 PM): "open post"?

meteoriot (7:33:56 PM): hey trish

trishkabob2010 (7:34:05 PM): hey im so sorry that im alte

trishkabob2010 (7:34:06 PM): late*

bardkerbie (7:34:14 PM): and i actually need to leave

meteoriot (7:34:29 PM): hmmm ok

shift to arcadia (7:34:37 PM): its all good

meteoriot (7:34:42 PM): later man

bardkerbie (7:34:53 PM): ttyl

meteoriot (7:35:09 PM): ok, let's finish up on the open thread thing

meteoriot (7:35:16 PM): we could just leave it, i guess

meteoriot (7:35:34 PM): i'm just trying to think of ways to better tie it to activism

meteoriot (7:35:45 PM): but keep it as open as possible

meteoriot (7:35:55 PM): open thread sounds very bloggy

shift to arcadia (7:36:00 PM): true

meteoriot (7:36:06 PM): which makes sense, since it's copied from Daily Kos and the blogs

shift to arcadia (7:36:18 PM): we could sort of define open threads as we post them

meteoriot (7:36:38 PM): how do you mean, define?

shift to arcadia (7:37:15 PM): "monday open thread- post whatever you may have found recently that relates to current events, the news, activism, or anything else relevant to LtL."

shift to arcadia (7:37:27 PM): just as a stock thing to put in there

meteoriot (7:37:41 PM): i like that

meteoriot (7:38:22 PM): it's also nice to hear what's going on in our personal lives sometimes, too

meteoriot (7:38:27 PM): it's a good place to vent

meteoriot (7:38:32 PM): or rant about leg hair and stuff

meteoriot (7:38:44 PM):

trishkabob2010 (7:38:48 PM): haha

trishkabob2010 (7:38:52 PM): or peanut butter

meteoriot (7:39:00 PM): ahh,yes

meteoriot (7:39:03 PM): peanut butter

meteoriot (7:39:07 PM): i remember that one

meteoriot (7:39:15 PM): haha

meteoriot (7:39:32 PM): ok, well let's try a stock message

meteoriot (7:39:45 PM): can put it underneath YouTube vids, too

meteoriot (7:40:12 PM): ok

shift to arcadia (7:40:18 PM): great idea-- that can be even more simple or basic. along the lines of "comments/thoughts?"

shift to arcadia (7:40:23 PM): since the vids really tend to speak for themselves

meteoriot (7:41:17 PM): yeah, for some of them

meteoriot (7:41:27 PM): some it's more like, just a music video

meteoriot (7:41:58 PM): iono...

shift to arcadia (7:41:59 PM): good point

meteoriot (7:42:40 PM): we could just go back and forth

meteoriot (7:42:47 PM): some days, do the stock message

meteoriot (7:42:51 PM): other days, just a music video

meteoriot (7:42:55 PM): maybe every other day

meteoriot (7:43:14 PM): cause people kind of get it.. core members get it

meteoriot (7:43:30 PM): but someone new to the site who isn't used to blogs might not

meteoriot (7:43:40 PM): anyway, i feel like we're beating a dead horse here

shift to arcadia (7:43:44 PM): sounds good

meteoriot (7:43:48 PM): anyone have anything else to add?

shift to arcadia (7:44:03 PM): nothing on my part

meteoriot (7:44:07 PM): about this... or how about other stuff?

shift to arcadia (7:44:25 PM): i'll try to get the analytics thing working. about the stock message thing, we might as well use it for the videos too

trishkabob2010 (7:44:32 PM): sounds good from what i've seen but i missed a lot so idk

meteoriot (7:45:06 PM): i'll post the transcript tricia

trishkabob2010 (7:45:33 PM): thanks jake

meteoriot (7:45:38 PM): the main thing that you might be interested in is the outreach coordinaotr stuff

trishkabob2010 (7:45:45 PM): i was thinking about that

meteoriot (7:45:56 PM): yeah?

trishkabob2010 (7:46:29 PM): yeah if i have an official "job" i never give out on it

trishkabob2010 (7:46:36 PM): just afraid of commiting b/c of that

meteoriot (7:46:56 PM): well, chris volunteered to do it

meteoriot (7:47:05 PM): but he said he's going to be busy once school starts

meteoriot (7:47:21 PM): and i'm thinking it's going to be more of a group effort anyway

trishkabob2010 (7:47:22 PM): same here, although i dont start til sept 28th

shift to arcadia (7:47:25 PM): mmhmm. and regardless, any help at all would be vastly appreciated, since it going to be a group-oriented thing

trishkabob2010 (7:47:34 PM): give me some time to settle in at laest b4 school

trishkabob2010 (7:47:47 PM): i'll do it

trishkabob2010 (7:47:53 PM): and then help would be good as needed

meteoriot (7:48:16 PM): cool cool.. it sounds like we've got something taking shape

meteoriot (7:48:20 PM): man, this is good news

meteoriot (7:48:24 PM): i'd been worried about that

shift to arcadia (7:48:24 PM): i'm stoked

trishkabob2010 (7:48:24 PM):

trishkabob2010 (7:48:31 PM): no worries

meteoriot (7:48:46 PM): eh, yeah

trishkabob2010 (7:48:50 PM): lol

trishkabob2010 (7:49:49 PM): that way if ppl can't make it its not as big as a deal

meteoriot (7:50:02 PM): i agree

meteoriot (7:50:21 PM): and for the next one, maybe we can try getting some new people in here

veggie519 (7:50:26 PM): 2 weeks
