The ERGSOC meeting for November was a bit irreverent. Strapped for time the participates held it online. Hijinks ensued.

MatthewReinbold: SHAZAM!

dturnbull left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 180 seconds).

MatthewReinbold: do we have enough people here or has the meeting majority requirement already been filled?

Randye left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 180 seconds).

thinbegin [a646d069@webchat.mibbit.com] entered the room.

MatthewReinbold: howdy

Randye [~windows7_@ergs.dsl.xmission.com] entered the room.

MatthewReinbold: welcome Randye

dturnbull [~Administr@ergs.dsl.xmission.com] entered the room.

MatthewReinbold: Hi Dave!

MatthewReinbold: it was getting lonely in here. Pete just sat there in austere silence. (I’m assuming he was busy with something else )

Randye: we are having some strange network issues down here…so we might keep dropping…

MatthewReinbold: k

MatthewReinbold: do we have enough to screw in a lightbulb? or, more importantly, have this count as a board meeting?

Randye: I think we have numbers

dturnbull: yeah, we have a quorum

thinbegin: are the board members going to id themselves?

thinbegin:

MatthewReinbold: Matthew Reinbold – Secretary, Linguist

Randye: Randy Everett= What is my title?

thinbegin: heh

MatthewReinbold: “Harbinger of BOOM!”

MatthewReinbold: next?

dturnbull: I’m Dave — vice president . . . of awesome

thinbegin: lulz

Randye: first order of business.. what date in Dec works best for the next board meeting?

dturnbull: so, we’ve met the technical requirements of the by-laws. shall we schedule the december meeting and then adjourn, or would you like to actually discuss some things?

MatthewReinbold: with so few here, I say we just try and hit a Dec date, otherwise other’s input will be left out

dturnbull: OK

MatthewReinbold: Saturday, 12/5?

MatthewReinbold: maybe 10am?

dturnbull: That works for me.

MatthewReinbold: anyone else? thoughts?

Randye: works for me..

dturnbull: pashdown: you have one of the busier schedules — does it work for you?

dturnbull: unum: are you still around?

MatthewReinbold: poke…. POKE…. oh wait, this isn’t facebook

dturnbull: lol

dturnbull: thinbegin: have you been down to the warehouse yet?

Randye: no poking while online… so that on your own time

thinbegin: no, i haven’t yet…

thinbegin: meant to over the weekend, but didn’t get a chance

Randye: you should come down…

MatthewReinbold: I heard the Internet is 30% poking…

dturnbull: it’s been polking along here, today

thinbegin: sure will. promise

dturnbull: our connection keeps dropping

dturnbull: this is the longest uninterrupted time we’ve had in a couple of hours

MatthewReinbold: well, do we need a vote to make saturday’s time official? not sure if Pete and unum are still on…

Randye: I vote yes… 12/5 at 10:00am

dturnbull: I think we can set a schedule w/o a vote — I just hoped they were listening in case it didn’t work for them

MatthewReinbold: yes here. that’s two. what do we need – 5?

dturnbull: but 12/5 @ 10 works for me

MatthewReinbold: that’s 3

Randye: kyle ? Pete?

MatthewReinbold: well, while we wait – have you read about the CrunchPad implosion? so sad: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/30/crunchpad-end/?utmsource=feedburner&utmmedium=feed&utmcampaign=Feed%3A+Techcrunch+%28TechCrunch%29&utmcontent=Google+Reader

dturnbull: I pinged Pete in a separate chat

dturnbull: seperate?

dturnbull: I never could spell that word

MatthewReinbold: two a’s – separate

dturnbull: well, let’s publish the time to the mailing list. I think we’ll get more feedback there.

MatthewReinbold: Dave, you want to send out the note?

dturnbull: I will

Randye: Okay… so did we meet our requirement of a meeting this month? if so I vote we end the meeting and next month have a real board meeting… 2nd?

dturnbull: we can vote to adjourn the meeting — I’m pretty sure all we need is a majority of the board members present

MatthewReinbold: k. If we’re done, I’ve got to go. I’ll plan on talking with all of you on Saturday. 2ndeded

Randye: all say Yea

MatthewReinbold: Yeh!

dturnbull: yeh
