Excellent. ...impressed with the number of microbrews in the region (now I'll stop being distracted) 14:15:23 <julialima> hello evergreeners 14:15:23 <buzzy> we love our alcohol in the pnw 14:15:25 <bbqben> we'll watch for budget news from you. Other questions for buzzy? 14:15:30 <RoganH> buzzy: I'm a big fan of card ciders so I'm definitely interested in that. :) 14:15:48 <kmlussier> julialima: Hi! We're in the middle of a meeting right now, but if you stick around, we should be wrapping up in about 45 minutes. 14:15:49 <csharp> buzzy++ 14:16:14 <graced> buzzy++ thanks for the update! 14:16:20 <kmlussier> buzzy++ 14:16:21 <bbqben> buzzy++ look forward to hearing more from you in the coming months 14:16:37 <buzzy> np. you'll be hearing from me next week 14:17:07 <bbqben> ok, moving on 14:17:10 <bbqben> #topic Evergreen 2.7 RM report 14:17:32 <bbqben> but methinks "other ben" is AWOL 14:18:13 <yboston> was Ben traveling this week? 14:18:25 <kmlussier> yboston: No, I don't think he leaves until Friday. 14:18:30 <yboston> oh 14:18:47 <bbqben> #action supplemental EG2.7 RM report by email, if possible - bshum 14:19:12 <bbqben> #topic SFC update (emergency fund) 14:19:54 <bbqben> So, I emailed Karen S @ SFC on the 10th as follow up to the conversation that kmlussier and I had with her in August. No response yet, but I'll keep us posted 14:20:25 <bbqben> hopefully we'll have something back to discuss for our next mtg 14:21:44 <bbqben> ok, if no q's, let's move to yboston's update 14:21:57 <bbqben> #topic Evergreen web FAQ development 14:22:12 <bbqben> yamil - thanks for fleshing things out! 14:22:12 <yboston> I sent to the board list me draft 14:22:14 <yboston> http://list.evergreen-ils.org/pipermail/eg-oversight-board/2014-October/000893.html 14:22:20 <yboston> *my 14:22:40 <yboston> this is just a start, questiosn are not in any particular order 14:23:04 <montgoc1> Order looks logical to me. 14:23:13 <yboston> feel free to bring up some comments or questions now, or reply to the thread 14:23:34 <kmlussier> yboston: I think I could come up with some more questions to ask when hiring a vendor for development. 14:23:48 <yboston> one next step to take is to put this draft on a wiki page so others can make cahnges 14:23:49 * kmlussier could probably create an entire wiki page on that topic alone. :) 14:24:08 <yboston> on the other hand, I don't want to make the FAQ too long 14:24:18 <yboston> we could create a seperate docuemnt for a template of questions 14:24:39 <graced> I cna also think of a few things to add... Our challenge will likely be to make it useful without being overwhelming. 14:24:44 <bbqben> #action shift draft FAQ's to wiki - yboston 14:24:46 <kmlussier> yboston: Don't worry. I could come up with a shortened list. 14:24:57 <yboston> also, at some point I would like feedback from the community at large, speccially from vendors 14:25:33 <bbqben> yboston++ a great start here, I think 14:25:45 <yboston> graced: any suggestions from you? 14:25:50 <yboston> (as a vendor) 14:26:08 <kmlussier> yboston++ indeed! 14:26:11 <graced> Gosh... yes, but I think you've got a great start 14:26:18 <graced> yboston++ 14:26:45 <yboston> muchas gracias 14:27:05 <bbqben> #action all to hop in with expanded & shortened ideas for the FAQ 14:27:19 <csharp> yboston++ 14:27:26 <bbqben> but no sentence fragments or dangling participles 14:27:27 <montgoc1> yboston++ 14:27:47 <bbqben> ok, moving on 14:28:03 <bbqben> #topic code of conduct - procedures 14:28:42 <bbqben> kmlussier - over to you 14:29:06 <kmlussier> #link http://list.evergreen-ils.org/pipermail/eg-oversight-board/2014-October/000894.html 14:29:56 <kmlussier> I would like to see if we can pull together some good procedures for handling code of conduct complaints before the next conference. 14:30:19 * gmcharlt gives a hearty +1 to that 14:30:36 <kmlussier> In addition to the link to the Geek Feminism wiki I shared in the e-mail, dbs just shared with me some procedures from another conference we might be able to use as a model. 14:30:48 <kmlussier> https://github.com/python/pycon-code-of-conduct/ 14:31:25 <kmlussier> My hope is that we never have to handle a complaint, but if we do, I would like to see that we have people on hand who know how to properly respond to it. 14:31:56 * csharp agrees 14:31:58 <RoganH> I'm in agreement. 14:32:18 <bbqben> kmlussier thanks for the think on this. Certainly has implications for conference planning, I think (e.g. - securing a private space for incident debrief etc) 14:32:26 <RoganH> I think it's nice to have an anti-harassment policy but we need to be prepared to follow through with it. And this is part of that. 14:32:48 <gmcharlt> it also has consequences for the EOB itself, as the potential exists for issues to span the lifetime of a single conference 14:33:01 <gmcharlt> span *past* the lifetime, I should say 14:33:20 <kmlussier> bbqben: Yes, it does. I can follow through with buzzy to see if we have anything like that this year, but, in upcoming years, maybe it needs to be included in site requirements when doing the conference selection process. 14:34:05 <RoganH> Even if we can't create ideal spaces this year, at least an awareness of the space needs puts in a better place. 14:34:10 <bbqben> kmlussier++ 14:34:31 <kmlussier> Anyone want to help me draft our procedures? 14:34:50 <abneiman> kmlussier : I'm interested in this 14:34:58 <kmlussier> abneiman++ Thanks! 14:34:58 * gmcharlt is as well 14:35:02 <RoganH> I'm willing. 14:35:04 <csharp> kmlussier: I'm willing to help 14:35:07 <montgoc1> Me too. 14:35:17 <bbqben> hot topic! 14:35:21 <RoganH> Since you have plenty of offers I'll withdraw mine :) 14:35:25 <kmlussier> Sounds like we have a committee! :) 14:35:42 <kmlussier> RoganH: That's okay. I'm sure I'll have a chance to hit you up for something else. 14:35:54 <bbqben> #action kmlussier et al to develop sagacious draft procedures asap 14:37:24 <bbqben> one q re: budget - if we agree this is a project-wide element, would we cover, e.g. training costs at the Project level or the conference budget level? 14:37:50 <bbqben> I don't think we need the answer, like now, but maybe back of mind as we build to "the Hood" 14:38:50 <kmlussier> bbqben: I think it would be worth the expense. FWIW, I think the Ada Initiative offer for training by phone was at no cost. 14:39:38 <bbqben> kmlussier - totally agree it would be worth the cost and additionally awesome that the Ada training is free 14:40:11 <bbqben> any other thoughts / q's for kmlussier for now? 14:40:14 <abneiman> Would be nice if someone in the community has counseling (or similar) background 14:40:50 <abneiman> (to be involved in any potential response, that is) 14:41:29 <montgoc1> abneiman: good point. 14:41:55 <montgoc1> We could recruit on the listserv perhaps. 14:42:10 <kmlussier> abneiman: After we get the procedures together, maybe we can put the question out to the community to see if anyone has that background who also is willing to help out. 14:43:09 <bbqben> ok, sounds great. Thanks all for the volunteerism! 14:43:26 <bbqben> Any new business or additional topics? 14:43:39 <kmlussier> Where are we on the vendor listing policy? 14:44:27 <bshum> #info bshum = Ben Shum, Bibliomation (late arrival) 14:44:32 <bbqben> kmlussier I think we're at fleshing out the FAQ's first and foremost 14:44:48 <bbqben> this was the element on which we achieved consensus. 14:45:10 <kmlussier> OK, at some point I think some kind of clarification needs to be made since there is confusion over what the existing policy says. 14:45:59 <kmlussier> I'm happy to put it off until the next meeting. 14:46:28 <csharp> I'll make a motion 14:47:04 <csharp> I move that we change the wording "Evergreen offering page" to "company website" 14:47:31 <kmlussier> I'll second that motion. 14:47:39 <csharp> so that the full sentence reads: Show support for the Evergreen community by adding a visible link on their company website to the Evergreen community web site at http://evergreen-ils.org 14:48:08 <bshum> +1 14:48:41 <bbqben> any concerns about the proposed motion? 14:49:05 <kmlussier> I went back to re-read the original discussion, and I believe that was the intent of the policy when it was originally voted. 14:50:20 <bbqben> kmlussier - jives with my fading memory / recollection also 14:50:25 <csharp> Slight wording variation to prevent "website" vs. "web site" awkwardness: Show support for the Evergreen community by adding a visible link on their company website to the Evergreen community site at http://evergreen-ils.org 14:50:53 <bbqben> so, standby for fingers / vote, with csharp's amendment 14:51:16 <csharp> vote now? 14:51:26 <csharp> (sorry) 14:51:55 <bbqben> #startvote Vote Show support for the Evergreen community by adding a visible link on their company website to the Evergreen community site at http://evergreen-ils.org?
