Also, after they get trained, I imagine there will be more adjustment of the procedures. 14:07:31 #info bshum = Ben Shum, Bibliomation 14:07:49 kmlussier: that's a good idea. They may have some good ideas to refine the procedures. 14:07:57 abneiman++ montgoc1++ gmcharlt++ csharp++ for helping with the procedures 14:07:59 kmlussier: can we edit that? 14:08:07 kmlussier++ # herding cats 14:08:08 Especially if they have some experience, training, etc. 14:08:12 * rfrasur doesn't touch without permission. 14:08:47 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 It helps us more easily track any changes that are made. 14:09:24 I can technically...but it more of an ettiquette question (that seems like too many t's) 14:09:52 rfrasur: Yes. :) 14:09:58 #action kmlussier to call for volunteers re: penultimate code of conduct procedures 14:10:24 (oh, I just crashed a meeting...sorry...talk about bad ettiquette). 14:11:02 rfrasur++ 14:11:06 :) 14:11:19 moving on in 5... 14:11:24 (I'm ashamed) 14:11:51 #topic Financial Report 14:11:59 #info #info http://list.evergreen-ils.org/pipermail/eg-oversight-board/2014-November/000928.html 14:12:03 oops 14:12:09 gmcharlt++ 14:12:18 and noting no change since last 14:12:37 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 *getting 14:13:08 gmcharlt: I did send an email, but I haven't gotten any action from bkuhn yet.
