[Wed Mar 18 21:00:18 2009] <pck> Good evening everyone
[Wed Mar 18 21:00:35 2009] <pck> I'm Philip Kizer and your Vice President
[Wed Mar 18 21:00:52 2009] <pck> there's a few left being waited on, so I'm going to hold for just a little bit
[Wed Mar 18 21:01:07 2009] <pck> while waiting, we can go ahead and queue some questions
[Wed Mar 18 21:07:12 2009] <pck> there must be a problem since I haven't heard back from some of the expected people, so I'll do what I can solo and just open for questions
[Wed Mar 18 21:10:52 2009] <pck> OK, first up on the announcements and summaries, here's Jesse
[Wed Mar 18 21:11:29 2009] <jtrucks> Thank you pck!
[Wed Mar 18 21:12:16 2009] <jtrucks> Well we were doing classes and a booth at the Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE) again this year, and it was a great success!
[Wed Mar 18 21:12:36 2009] <jtrucks> Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth or were in our classes.
[Wed Mar 18 21:12:58 2009] <jtrucks> We are planning more conference related events for the coming months, so stay tuned for further announcements.
[Wed Mar 18 21:13:44 2009] <jtrucks> Also, Hans has stepped down as Chair of the Education committee, and we thank him for his tireless efforts and support as a volunteer in that role.
[Wed Mar 18 21:14:30 2009] <jtrucks> Lois Bennett has agreed to take up the torch as Chair of the Education Committee in his place.
[Wed Mar 18 21:14:55 2009] <jtrucks> pck: back to you...
[Wed Mar 18 21:15:04 2009] <pck> Thanks, Jesse
[Wed Mar 18 21:15:35 2009] <pck> And a big thank you to both Hans and Lois for their efforts and support
[Wed Mar 18 21:15:44 2009] * jtrucks claps for both of them.
[Wed Mar 18 21:16:18 2009] <pck> Actually, back to Jesse briefly...
[Wed Mar 18 21:16:34 2009] <jtrucks> pck: Thank you for the reminder!
[Wed Mar 18 21:17:02 2009] <jtrucks> The LOPSA Technical Services Committee needs some volunteers for very short term, low-commitment engagements.
[Wed Mar 18 21:17:40 2009] <jtrucks> We are looking for people that have some perl, php, or MySQL experience to do some updating and bug fixes on a reporting script vital to our efforts,
[Wed Mar 18 21:18:37 2009] <jtrucks> and we need people to assist with pieces of the web site infrastructure upgrade that have PHP and Drupal experience - we may need some custom modules written, and we need people to assist in the process of building and testing the site.
[Wed Mar 18 21:19:05 2009] <jtrucks> again, we are not asking for major time committments, nor are we asking for long term time committments. these will be small, easy to handle in short time bursts tasks
[Wed Mar 18 21:19:39 2009] <jtrucks> if you have any questions or are intersted, find Damion Alexander (funkknight in IRC) or myself via email or IRC.
[Wed Mar 18 21:19:43 2009] <jtrucks> thank you!
[Wed Mar 18 21:19:47 2009] * jtrucks nods to pck
