Minutes / Actions from last meeting 14:03:12 <bbqben> #info http://evergreen-ils.org/meetings/evergreen/2014/evergreen.2014-10-16-14.02.html 14:04:07 <bbqben> kmlussier - did you want to provide an update on code of consuct procedures? 14:04:15 <kmlussier> Sure 14:04:27 <kmlussier> We have work-in-progress draft procedures at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J6v_EytMv3vQfFQ9QcLh_3M4knSIC671GnMaYt8qVRs/edit?usp=sharing 14:05:00 <kmlussier> And at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZhBsQvudCcEa06DD3L7Id086pb_FkeGh31WI9HNca1Y/edit?usp=sharing 14:05:26 <kmlussier> I don't think their quite ready to be finalized yet. 14:05:42 <bbqben> you've all been busy! 14:05:53 <kmlussier> But I do think we all agree that we would like to have some volunteer safety staffers to be available to handle reports. 14:06:06 <kmlussier> bbqben: There was a lot of copying and pasting from the PyCon procedures. :) 14:06:11 <kmlussier> dbs++ for sharing those with me. 14:06:32 <bbqben> kmlussier++ 14:06:46 <rfrasur> (everybody clicks the link) 14:06:51 <bbqben> anyone have comments for kmlussier et al? 14:06:55 <kmlussier> I was thinking it might be good to solicit volunteers now so that they can be involved in the finalization of procedures. Also, after they get trained, I imagine there will be more adjustment of the procedures. 14:07:31 <bshum> #info bshum = Ben Shum, Bibliomation 14:07:49 <montgoc1> kmlussier: that's a good idea. They may have some good ideas to refine the procedures. 14:07:57 <kmlussier> abneiman++ montgoc1++ gmcharlt++ csharp++ for helping with the procedures 14:07:59 <rfrasur> kmlussier: can we edit that? 14:08:07 <csharp> kmlussier++ # herding cats 14:08:08 <montgoc1> Especially if they have some experience, training, etc. 14:08:12 * rfrasur doesn't touch without permission. 14:08:47 <kmlussier> rfrasur: I just gave permission for people with the link to comment, which I *think* means you can edit in suggesting mode. 14:08:55 <kmlussier> It helps us more easily track any changes that are made. 14:09:24 <rfrasur> I can technically...but it more of an ettiquette question (that seems like too many t's) 14:09:52 <kmlussier> rfrasur: Yes. :) 14:09:58 <bbqben> #action kmlussier to call for volunteers re: penultimate code of conduct procedures 14:10:24 <rfrasur> (oh, I just crashed a meeting...sorry...talk about bad ettiquette). 14:11:02 <bbqben> rfrasur++ 14:11:06 <bbqben> :) 14:11:19 <bbqben> moving on in 5... 14:11:24 <rfrasur> (I'm ashamed) 14:11:51 <bbqben> #topic Financial Report 14:11:59 <bbqben> #info #info http://list.evergreen-ils.org/pipermail/eg-oversight-board/2014-November/000928.html 14:12:03 <bbqben> oops 14:12:09 <bbqben> gmcharlt++ 14:12:18 <bbqben> and noting no change since last 14:12:37 <bbqben> so moving on... 14:12:47 * gmcharlt jumps in to make a quick note that bshum is in the process of get the keys to the (financial reporting) kingdom 14:12:51 <gmcharlt> *getting 14:13:08 <bshum> gmcharlt: I did send an email, but I haven't gotten any action from bkuhn yet.
