| 11:45 | <Julian> | Are we going to have a meeting today? |
| 11:45 | <Julian> | I think there are not a lot of things to discuss, but some reports would be nice. |
| 11:46 | <Julian> | So perhaps we should meet but keep it short. |
| 12:26 | <Julian> | Ok, I've gotta go. I will be there at 19:00 UTC. |
| 18:33 | <Julian> | re |
| 18:33 | <Julian> | Spo? |
| 18:33 | <Julian> | So? |

| 18:54 | <Julian> | I just read it and sent a reply. |
| 18:56 | * | Julian needs to reboot due to a weird problem of his TV card. |
| 18:56 | <Julian> | brb |
| 19:00 | <Julian> | So does that mean there is no meeting today? |
| 19:00 | <MarkK> | thanks :) |
| 19:01 | <MarkK> | I dunno; I thought there would be |
| 19:03 | <MarkK> | peculiar; no one is here, except us. By now, I really, really would like to have the Executive report from Meng |
| 19:04 | <csm> | read the list emails |
| 19:04 | <MarkK> | I am at my parent's home now; will do later |
| 19:04 | <Julian> | csm: Regarding what? Regarding the meeting(s)? Or regarding the ED's report? |
| 19:05 | <MarkK> | ok, just read the list; wednmesday' |
| 19:06 | <csm> | Meng wants the meetings on Wednesdays... |
| 19:06 | <MarkK> | ok, just read the list; wednmesdays would be fine for me too |
| 19:06 | <csm> | we have to find a time that works for both europe and the US |
| 19:06 | <csm> | I have to teach classes a couple of weeks a month |
| 19:06 | <Julian> | I stated my available times. |
| 19:07 | <csm> | this means that I would not be available until around 2200 UTC |
| 19:12 | <Julian> | Ok, so no meeting today. |
| 19:12 | <MarkK> | so, csm, when will we reconvene then? wednesday 1400 UTC? before 1400 that remains troublesome for me |
| 19:13 | * | Julian is going to wait for the Chair's announcement on the spf-council list. |
| 19:14 | <Julian> | csm: BTW, I fully appreciate your situation of yesterday and today. |
| 19:15 | <MarkK> | so will I then. :) But if you do not think it rude me, if we have no meeting today, I will rejoin my folks here; (I basically just sojourned myself to do the meeting). Is that ok with you guys? |
| 19:16 | <csm> | MarkK go dude... go! |
| 19:16 | <MarkK> | Sorry. I will await your announcement on the list |
| 19:16 | <MarkK> | Good-night! |
| 20:40 | <Julian> | csm: What about the 2004-12-22 press release? Have you managed to push it to PR Newswire? |
| 20:41 | <csm> | no |
| 20:41 | <csm> | and I do not believe I will be able to get it done through Red Hat |
| 20:42 | <Julian> | Why is that? |
| 20:42 | <csm> | Julian: because they do not reply when I ask... |
| 20:42 | <csm> | okay? |
| 20:42 | <Julian> | Hmm, ok. |
| 20:42 | <Julian> | csm: Have I annoyed you by asking? |
| 20:42 | <csm> | I asked Meng if he could do something through pobox but he never replied |
| 20:42 | <csm> | no |
| 20:43 | <csm> | but I am tired and short tempered so I apologize if I sould like I feel |
| 20:43 | <csm> | :-) |
| 20:43 | <csm> | sound |
| 20:43 | <Julian> | Ok. |
| 20:44 | <Julian> | The SPF project could try to get a PR Newswire account itself. I don't have the slightest clue if and how much that would cost.+ |
| 20:44 | <csm> | yeah... that might be possible... I remember we did that with LPI but I am foggy on the details... it was a long time ago |
| 20:44 | <Julian> | Perhaps there are alternative services, too? Like, open source friendly services? |
| 20:47 | <Julian> | http://www.prnewswire.com/services/conditions.shtml: "[...] PR Newswire is a membership association. The 12-month membership fee is $125.00. [...]" |
| 20:53 | <Julian> | Also: "News releases are billed according to word count. The first 400 words carry a base charge and each additional 100 words is subject to a length charge." -- That may be why Red Hat doesn't want to do a PR for us. |
| 20:54 | <csm> | yeah... that could be... next time I am in my office (two weeks from now) I am going to track down the responsible party directly... |
| 20:54 | <csm> | right now... |
| 20:55 | <csm> | I am simply exhausted... can't think anymore... sorry |
| 20:55 | <Julian> | np. |
| 20:55 | * | Julian is off for a while. |
