| 15:09 | erikos | hey who is around for the development meeting? |
| 15:10 | looks at gonzalo_: manuq | |
| 15:10 | manuq | erikos: hi! |
| 15:11 | cjl | morning |
| 15:11 | erikos | hey cj |
| 15:11 | l | |
| 15:11 | manuq | good morning cjl |
| 15:11 | gonzalo_ | hello erikos |
| 15:12 | erikos | ok - let's start! |
| 15:12 | callkalpa <callkalpa!~callkalpa61.245.172.6> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 15:12 | erikos | #topic status of the GTK3 port |
| 15:13 | we did arrive at an important milestone today | |
| 15:13 | manuq | erikos: yes, we have a build |
| 15:13 | erikos | our first olpc build containing the packaged Fedora rpms |
| 15:13 | we have pygboject3 packaged as well | |
| 15:13 | which fixes an important error | |
| 15:14 | and the build does contain the latest gtk+, with the theming changes | |
| 15:14 | so all in all, a great success | |
| 15:15 | walterbender <walterbender!~chatzilla18.111.95.185> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 15:15 | erikos | hey walterbender |
| 15:15 | manuq | walterbender: welcome! |
| 15:15 | erikos | walterbender: we just started |
| 15:16 | manuq: so next, we should take another round at the theme | |
| 15:16 | manuq | erikos: yes! |
| 15:16 | cjl | So Activities will be needed to help test, who maintains Write these days? |
| 15:16 | manuq | erikos: now that we have latest gtk+ 3 in build |
| 15:16 | erikos | manuq: yes |
| 15:17 | manuq: I have been reviewing browse patches today, so you can await feedback there too | |
| 15:17 | cjl | The AbiWord folks have been doing their gtk3+ porting and I've been developing goodwill there so I can extort some help on Write |
| 15:17 | erikos | manuq: another item we have to work on |
| 15:18 | callkalpa has quit IRC | |
| 15:18 | erikos | cjl: for now we focus on browse, read and hello-world |
| 15:18 | manuq | erikos: for the theme, I would start with the items that we were expecting and are now in the changelog |
| 15:18 | erikos | cjl: which is enough for testing purpose |
| 15:18 | manuq: great idea | |
| 15:18 | manuq | erikos: for example, theme the sliders with two colors |
| 15:18 | cjl | erikos: OK, let me know when you want me t oask for Write help from them. |
| 15:19 | walterbender | is geared up to crank through my usual list of activities, once things settle down... |
| 15:19 | erikos | manuq: we did not get feedbakc from benzea on the current patch, right? |
| 15:19 | manuq | erikos: no |
| 15:19 | erikos | manuq: ok, I will ping benzea, if he can have a quick look |
| 15:19 | walterbender: great! | |
| 15:19 | manuq | erikos: may we ask him? |
| 15:19 | erikos: right | |
| 15:20 | gonzalo_ | cjl, i you can test Write is working ok, should be good |
| 15:20 | i am worried the changes from abi guys can break our activity | |
| 15:20 | cjl | gonzalo_: I think we ar edependent on libabiword, but not sure. |
| 15:21 | Is the build gtk3 on the Gnome dualboot? | |
| 15:22 | erikos | cjl: os3 has the latest bits |
| 15:22 | cjl | ok |
| 15:22 | Ariel_Calzada <Ariel_Calzada!~aricalso181.135.21.159> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 15:22 | erikos | what else is on our list for this matter? |
| 15:23 | gonzalo_ | erikos, features.... |
| 15:23 | erikos | finishing the toolkit - but should be only a matter of time investment |
| 15:23 | manuq | erikos: I'm preparing two more patches for Browse |
| 15:23 | satellit_ | I wish browse would support .html files My SCK-USB needs this feature |
| 15:23 | erikos | gonzalo_: topic is gtk3 :) |
| 15:23 | gonzalo_ | ok :) |
| 15:23 | erikos | gonzalo_: features are next |
| 15:24 | manuq: ok, great | |
| 15:24 | gonzalo_ | ok, in the gtk3 side, Read is supposed to work, test is welcomed |
| 15:24 | erikos | gonzalo_: maybe we can ask on the testing list for feedback? |
| 15:25 | gonzalo_ | erikos, yes, good idea. maybe with a general note about os3 |
| 15:25 | erikos | gonzalo_: or is this too early? |
| 15:25 | gonzalo_: great! | |
| 15:26 | walterbender | maybe we should package things up in some way for the NZ testing team? |
| 15:26 | erikos | hints at os3 |
| 15:27 | walterbender: http://build.laptop.org/12.1.0/os3/ | |
| 15:27 | #link olpc build containing the latest sugar-gtk3 bits: http://build.laptop.org/12.1.0/os3/ | |
| 15:28 | gepatino has quit IRC | |
| 15:28 | walterbender | erikos: let's come up with a set of tasks for them... I am certain that they would be thorough |
| 15:28 | erikos | walterbender: yes, I think a first good task is Read, as it should work besides a few graphical issues (toolkit/theming related) |
| 15:30 | and in the meantime manu and myself can work on Browse to get into a similar state | |
| 15:31 | gonzalo_: do you want to send that mail? | |
| 15:31 | walterbender | abacus should work :) |
| 15:31 | erikos | walterbender: is it packaged? |
| 15:32 | walterbender | Not sure if I made a .xo file... can do |
| 15:32 | gonzalo_ | erikos, ok |
| 15:32 | erikos | gonzalo_: thanks! |
| 15:32 | walterbender: great, when uploading to aslo please do 0.96 only | |
| 15:33 | walterbender | erikos: will do |
| 15:33 | gonzalo_ | walterbender, this abacus version is gtk3 only? |
| 15:33 | erikos | walterbender: and let Peter know, so he is aware of it |
| 15:34 | walterbender | OK |
| 15:34 | erikos | walterbender: thanks! |
| 15:35 | gonzalo_ | need update http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Acti[…]ies/PortingToGtk3 |
| 15:38 | erikos | thinks that is positive ;p |
| 15:38 | ok, let's move on... | |
| 15:38 | #topic current status of the development cycle | |
| 15:38 | at the end of January is Feature Freeze and API/ABI Freeze | |
| 15:39 | so we need to sort those out | |
| 15:39 | http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0[…]ed_Features_for_0.96 | |
| 15:39 | these are our items | |
| 15:40 | we have four weeks left | |
| 15:40 | the first three (Read, Browse and toolkit), should be clear | |
| 15:40 | gepatino <gepatino!~gepatino190.2.44.65> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 15:41 | erikos | the others need some work, discussion etc |
| 15:41 | how about if we focus on one item per week? | |
| 15:41 | manuq | erikos: sound ok |
| 15:42 | walterbender | needs some design guidance on write to journal anytime... I don't like the current approach |
| 15:42 | callkalpa <callkalpa!~callkalpa61.245.172.1> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 15:43 | walterbender | we need to do 2 items per week if we want to finish before the end of the month |
| 15:44 | erikos | walterbender: yeah, maybe that is right |
| 15:44 | walterbender: ok, let's do two then | |
| 15:44 | gonzalo_ | erikos, i already sent a complete patch to text to speach feature, and didn' t have any feedback |
| 15:44 | erikos | I would pick 'write to journal anytime' and 'tts' |
| 15:45 | walterbender: about 'write to journal anytime' i would suggest: let's open a design thread about it | |
| 15:46 | walterbender: and summarize the current status of ideas | |
| 15:46 | walterbender: and make sure Gary and Christian are in cc, as both had been giving out ideas already | |
| 15:46 | gonzalo_: about 'tts' - I will have a look over the initial design until the next meeting | |
| 15:47 | gonzalo_ | erikos, thanks |
| 15:47 | erikos | gonzalo_: others are welcome too, to do so of course |
| 15:47 | manuq | I'm scared, I will be on vacations for two weeks, since next monday |
| 15:47 | erikos | walterbender: can you do that mail? |
| 15:47 | manuq: since next monday - or starting next monday? | |
| 15:48 | manuq | erikos: starting next monday |
| 15:48 | erikos | manuq: ok, very good that you say that - let's plan how we can work around that after the meeting (re Browse and theme) |
| 15:48 | manuq | erikos: ok |
| 15:48 | walterbender | erikos: I can send email to gary et al. |
| 15:48 | erikos | manuq: we will find a way ;p |
| 15:49 | manuq | erikos: I hope :/ |
| 15:49 | erikos | walterbender: wonderful |
| 15:49 | walterbender | just heard from Christian today for the first time in a while |
| 15:49 | erikos | walterbender: ahhh, see :) |
| 15:49 | takes notes about the action items now: | |
| 15:49 | gonzalo_ | walterbender, about "activity specific metadata in journal" you volunteer to right a specification for the activities, right? |
| 15:49 | to write | |
| 15:50 | walterbender | gonzalo_: yes |
| 15:50 | erikos | #action Gonzalo sending a mail to the testing team about testing Read in os3 |
| 15:50 | #action Walter packaging Abacus (GTK3) and informing Peter to get it into a build | |
| 15:51 | #action Walter send a mail to get the 'write to journal anytime' discussion going | |
| 15:51 | #action Simon looking at the 'Global Text to Speech' proposal | |
| 15:52 | #action Simon ping benzea for theme feedback | |
| 15:53 | Be warned: I will ask next week on the status of the items :) | |
| 15:53 | anything I missed? | |
| 15:53 | walterbender | erikos == bad cop :P |
| 15:53 | erikos | do we have a plan for this week on what to work on? |
| 15:54 | manuq | erikos: I ported Clock to Cairo, should be trivial to port to GTK+ 3, should we? |
| 15:54 | erikos | manuq: not now ;p |
| 15:54 | gonzalo_ | erikos, patch is here http://lists.sugarlabs.org/arc[…]chment-0001.patch |
| 15:54 | manuq | erikos: ok, let's focus on theme & Browse |
| 15:54 | gonzalo_ | erikos, tts patch ^ |
| 15:55 | erikos | manuq: yes, the clock activity is not part of the sucrose cycle, has time until the olpc build freezes for activities to land, if of interest |
| 15:55 | gonzalo_: thaks | |
| 15:55 | gonzalo_ | manuq, we agreed in not do the port to gtk3 if not needed to not maintain two different activities |
| 15:55 | manuq | gonzalo_: right |
| 15:56 | I asked because I see now Abacus ported | |
| 15:56 | gonzalo_ | manuq, is because walterbender is faster than us :) |
| 15:57 | erikos | manuq: yeah - only walter is allowed to |
| 15:58 | manuq | ok! :-) |
| 15:58 | gonzalo_ | manuq, but if we push all the activity to the state when porting to gtk3 is trivial, the next cycle will be a relax :) |
| 15:58 | erikos | any questions items from you guys? |
| 15:58 | manuq | not from my side |
| 15:59 | gonzalo_ | no |
| 15:59 | manuq | I want to dig into the new build for the theme! |
| 16:00 | erikos | ok |
| 16:00 | starts the countdown | |
| 16:00 | 2000 | |
| 16:00 | 2001 | |

| 16:01 | manuq | yes! and happy hacking!! |
| 16:01 | erikos | hurray! |
| 16:02 | bernie | erikos: happy new year |
| 16:02 | cjl | wonders if tha was a Big-endian countdown. . . |
| 16:02 | erikos | bernie: happy new year to you as well! |
| 16:02 | bernie | erikos: hey, i think this would be nice to have for sugar as well: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/NicerBuilds |
| 16:02 | gonzalo_ | cjl, hmm erikos is big, but no endian :) |
| 16:03 | bernie | erikos: probably i should tell silbe... |
| 16:03 | satellit_ | erikos: any chance that future Browse/surf could support .html files? |
| 16:04 | to support of-line use of http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/S[…]tion_Kit#SCK-USB_.28CD.iso.29 | |
| 16:04 | s/off | |
| 16:05 | erikos | bernie: heh, yeah - he might lik eit |
| 16:06 | satellit_: if you do it ;p | |
| 16:06 | satellit_ | I am not a programmer : ( |
| 16:07 | manuq | satellit_: we are trying to get Browse to the same shape it was in gtk2, mozilla backend, not adding features at the moment |
| 16:08 | satellit_ | ok (I have to load firefox-6.xo on XO-1 to use USB off line) |
| 16:09 | gonzalo_ | satellit_, you say opening a .html file from the journal? |
| 16:10 | satellit_ | I can open .html files but do not get the Folder with all of the screen-shots and features of web page from .html |
| 16:11 | firefox opens .html with all of it from USB | |
| 16:12 | * These web page files were created with "save as" - "web page complete" using firefox. And subsequently the .html files links edited in gedit. | |
| 16:14 | erikos has left #sugar-meeting | |
| 16:14 | satellit_ | thanks all.... |

|
| 16:15 | gonzalo_ | satellit_, to solve this you can create a .xol file |
| 16:15 | a content bundle | |
| 16:16 | satellit_ | any Ideas where to look (link?) |
| 16:16 | gonzalo_ | yes, let me found it |
| 16:16 | satellit_ | thanks |
| 16:17 | gonzalo_ | satellit_, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Creating_a_collection |
| 16:17 | satellit_ | thanks |
| 16:18 | gonzalo_ | satellit_, tell me if you have problems, but is very easy |
| 16:18 | satellit_ | I will study...thanks for the help |
| 16:19 | gonzalo_ | satellit_, you have more collections to look here http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Collections |
| 16:20 | satellit_ | thanks....will study : ) |

| 17:59 | satellit_ | cjl: thanks I will attempt to do so soon. Just updated the SCK-USB with most links working Off-Line. |
| 18:01 | wish firefox-6.xo was fully sugarized (works but no journal access) | |
| 18:02 | maybe a security "feature" ? | |

| 20:56 | cjl | hi brad |
| 20:56 | bkuhn | greetings, cjl. |
| 20:56 | cjl | Do you prefer Brad or Bradley? |
| 20:57 | bkuhn | cjl: Bradley. I stopped going by Brad in 2001. |
| 20:57 | I assume that people who call me Brad met me before 2001. | |
| 20:57 | At this point, it just leaves me wondering: "Have I know this person since before 2001?" | |
| 20:57 | cjl | sorry, I know somone else who goes by Brad |
| 20:57 | bkuhn | np. |
| 20:57 | There's an net.famous "Brad Kuhn", who drives a race car. I'm the most net.famous "Bradley Kuhn". :) | |
| 20:58 | cjl | :-) |
| 20:58 | bkuhn | One time, a young boy emailed me to thank me for shaking his hand after a race. :) |
| 20:58 | cjl | The fellow I know is Brad margus, no reason for you to know him, but he is avery interesting guy with an interesting story. |
| 20:59 | bkuhn | Well, there's also "Brad Smith", who is the General Counsel of Microsoft, which is another reason I changed: I didn't like sharing a first name with Microsoft's top lawyer. :) |
| 20:59 | cjl | :-) |
| 21:00 | bkuhn | When I was a young kid, I preferred Brad, because I liked that my first and last name where each one syllable. |
| 21:00 | w/where/were/ | |
| 21:00 | cjl | Her eis a much nicer Brad than th eM$ one. http://bridges.rockefeller.edu[…]ge=bio-BradMargus |
| 21:00 | bkuhn | haha. :) |
| 21:00 | walterbender | show of hands? |
| 21:00 | bkuhn | It's strange that way: both my last and first names are more common than people realize. |
| 21:01 | walterbender | waves |

| 21:13 | As requested I checked with Bert and he is willing to continue as Ombudsman | |
| 21:13 | Also I had discussions with both Robert Fadel and Laura Vargas about the finance team coordinator position | |
| 21:14 | note that we are not calling the position "Treasurer" :) | |
| 21:14 | cjl | :-) |
| 21:15 | walterbender | A bit of background on Robert: he was the Finance Director of both the MIT Media Lab and OLPC |
| 21:15 | His last day at OLPC was the last day of 2011 | |
| 21:15 | He is willing to manage our finances and interface with SFC as he wants to keep a hand in the project | |
| 21:16 | Re Laura, her interests are more geared towards development and models, not the day-to-day management. | |
| 21:16 | dogi <dogi!~omenhoneydew.cictr.com> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 21:16 | cjl | He's got a lot of very relevant experience. |
| 21:16 | walterbender | So I think they can compliment each other. |
| 21:17 | cjb | and perhaps also complement each other :) |
| 21:17 | cjl | or even complement each other |
| 21:17 | walterbender | Yes, Robert brings lots of experience. |
| 21:18 | So I proposed to both of them that Robert be the one to manage the finances and the SFC relationship and Laura work with him on strategies for the organization | |
| 21:18 | They both seemed comfortable with that | |
| 21:18 | Comments? Questons? | |
| 21:18 | alsroot | nope |
| 21:18 | cjl | Sounds good to me. |
| 21:19 | bkuhn | I'd like to say this is a great position to have.. |
| 21:19 | ... I wish more Conservancy projects had someone appointed to do this, it's an important interaction point with Conservancy for projects. | |
| 21:19 | walterbender | Not sure we need a motion as much as just to ACK that we are heading down this path... |
| 21:20 | cjl | Is the formality of a vote required / recommended for re-confirming bertf as Ombudsman? |
| 21:20 | walterbender | We may want to establish some level of autonomy for Robert down the road. |
| 21:20 | cjl: I don't think so... we don't appoint team leaders... | |
| 21:21 | cjl | walterbender: ok |
| 21:21 | bkuhn | walterbender: the only thing I'd suggest a formality for is if you want the Finance Coordinator to approve expenses without SLOBs approval. |
| 21:21 | walterbender | bkuhn: I do want to get there, but I'd like Robert to propose the mechanism |
| 21:21 | bkuhn | walterbender: np. |
| 21:21 | walterbender | so I'd prefer to wait |
| 21:22 | cjl | I like everything I'm hearing so far. |
| 21:22 | walterbender | OK. Anything else on the board position topic? |
| 21:22 | 3 | |
| 21:22 | cjl | What about Bernie's $200 limit? |
| 21:22 | Or is tha separate | |
| 21:22 | walterbender | cjl: that is still in Bernie's hands at the moment... |
| 21:23 | cjl | ok |
| 21:23 | good | |
| 21:23 | walterbender | cjl: part of what I would like to ask Robert to review |
| 21:23 | cjl | yes |
| 21:23 | walterbender | 3 |
| 21:23 | 2 | |
| 21:23 | 1 | |
| 21:24 | #topic SomosAZUCAR letter | |
| 21:24 | cjl | Want me to talk/ |
| 21:24 | walterbender | without Laura or Icarito, this one is going to have to remain unsettled |
| 21:24 | maybe we can complete it by email | |
| 21:25 | but just to update: | |
| 21:25 | We were asked to ACK the role of SomosAZUCAR in Peru. | |
| 21:25 | alsroot | asks KaiXo to call to icarito to know if they are fine w/ proposed email |
| 21:25 | walterbender | Whereas the status of our Local Labs is currently under review by Tony and Bradley, |
| 21:26 | cjl and I drafted a letter that would come from me, as founder of SL, rather than from SL/SFC | |
| 21:26 | we circulated the draft to the board for comment. | |
| 21:27 | have heard a +1 from Gerald. and from Chris and me :) | |
| 21:27 | nothing from our colleagues in Peru | |
| 21:27 | alsroot | +1 as well |
| 21:27 | walterbender | thanks alsroot |
| 21:27 | cjl | I truly hope i addresses their need. |
| 21:28 | walterbender | so we have "the votes" but I want to make sure it works for them before we execute |
| 21:28 | cjl | The discussion on IRC helped me develop a better understanding of what they wer elooking for and icarito and bernie asked me to take a shot at drafting something. |
| 21:29 | We'll just have to see what they have to say. | |
| 21:29 | walterbender | I think we can close this by email without another meeting... |
| 21:29 | cjl | I hope so |
| 21:30 | walterbender | anything else to discuss today? |
| 21:30 | on that topic? | |
| 21:30 | alsroot | I see, we just need an ACK the SomosAZUCAR people and execute at the moment |
| 21:30 | ? | |
| 21:30 | walterbender | alsroot: yes. |
| 21:30 | alsroot | ok |
| 21:31 | walterbender | alsroot: If yo can ask them to whom I should address the letter, that too would be helpful |
| 21:31 | cjl | I thin kthey want a 'To Whom It May Concern" |
| 21:31 | alsroot | KaiXo/neyder is the contact, will ping them |
| 21:31 | walterbender | cjl: I can do that... como se dice "To Whom It May Concern |
| 21:32 | cjl | "A quien pueda interesar" ?? |
| 21:32 | bkuhn | I've seen "a quién corresponda" |
| 21:32 | cjl | Look back to their original proposal, it migh thave a Salutation |
| 21:32 | walterbender | alsroot: As soon as I get the green light, I'll send the letter. |
| 21:33 | alsroot | walterbender: fine |
| 21:33 | walterbender | OK... |
| 21:33 | moving on... | |
| 21:33 | #topic local labs | |
| 21:33 | not sure if Bradley and Tony have anything new to report yet | |
| 21:35 | apparently not :) | |
| 21:35 | keynote2k | Still doing research and benchmarking |
| 21:35 | walterbender | I'll coordinate with them as to when would make sense to have then next discussion |
| 21:36 | I have one other topic for today, just in brief | |
| 21:36 | #topic sugarlabs.org | |
| 21:36 | cjl | shoot |
| 21:36 | walterbender | christian and I were discussing this earlier today |
| 21:37 | he is anxious to move forward with the new design, but we are still lacking content | |
| 21:37 | but I know there is great content out there... | |
| 21:37 | cjl | What sort of content? |
| 21:38 | walterbender | for example, the Butia team posted some great videos of kids using Sugar to program their XO/Ardinuo robots... |
| 21:38 | video and images... | |
| 21:38 | cjl | ok |
| 21:38 | walterbender | so please think about how we can get material together |
| 21:38 | my earlier calls have not resulted in much action :P | |
| 21:38 | JT4sugar: can you take a lead position on this? | |
| 21:39 | cjl | A similar request went out on OLPC Support gang, let's see what is turned up there. |
| 21:39 | walterbender | I can talk to OLPC too, to see what material they have that we could use... |
| 21:39 | I am hoping our Local Labs have cool stuff too | |
| 21:39 | JT4sugar | walterbender, Yes I have a document from Christian to send out that lays out design and areas of need. Will get out tomorrow |
| 21:40 | walterbender | JT4sugar: thanks |
| 21:40 | also, JT4sugar: did the project reports from that writing class ever get submitted? | |
| 21:41 | I saw a few in passing | |
| 21:41 | #topic misc | |
| 21:41 | cjl | A quick point on finance. ChristophD was looking for more updated numbers than the wiki (from Sept?). I think that means updating with the SugarCampLima outlays and any new donations. Do we just wait on that too? |
| 21:41 | JT4sugar | walterbender, Also have those I am waiting on one of the students to write up the summary and we will then proceed hopefully by early next week |
| 21:42 | walterbender | I need to check with Robert... seems to be the first order of business |
| 21:42 | I also need to discuss one other finance issue | |
| 21:43 | someone incurred a ~$1K expense in support of getting our Sugar Labs bike team effort underway last year. | |
| 21:44 | the donation to cover that expense was not able to be processed for some technical reasons | |
| 21:44 | so I made a personal donation last week to cover that expense so the donor doesn't have to swallow it personally | |
| 21:44 | I presume that SLOBs is OK with that | |
| 21:45 | cjl | I'm good wit hit. |
| 21:46 | walterbender | while people are deliberating... |
| 21:46 | want to ACK the great progress that erikos, manuq, gonzalo, dsd, et al. are making on 0.96 | |
| 21:47 | we are at freeze at the end of the month; there is a build available with the gtk-3 bits if you want to play | |
| 21:47 | cjl | Haven't tried os3 yet, but I did download it. |
| 21:47 | manuq | walterbender: and you! always a step further, now with Abacus ported to GTK+ 3 |
| 21:49 | walterbender | anything else for today? wanna release cjb to get back to his CES prep :P |
| 21:49 | and I need to merge my gtk-3 version of abacus to mainline and push the new release :) | |
| 21:49 | bkuhn | That reimbursement you mention should go out this week... the donation from Walter was already received at the end of last year. |
| 21:50 | cjl | I'm good, hoping to hear positive feedback from Peru. |
| 21:51 | KaiXo><alsroot> bueno le digo q envie el correo | |
| 21:51 | walterbender | OK... let's call it a day. |
| 21:51 | cjl | I think that is second hand from icarito |
| 21:52 | Sounds promising, bu twe'll finish that in e-mail. | |
| 21:52 | walterbender | I will discuss with Robert the finances and we can schedule our next meeting around that |
| 21:52 | maybe in two weeks? | |
| 21:52 | cjl | sure |
| 21:53 | walterbender | and I will finish the Puno letter off line, keeping SLOBs in the loop. |
| 21:53 | cjl | count us out? |
| 21:55 | walterbender | 3 |
| 21:55 | 2 | |
| 21:55 | 1 | |
| 21:55 | thanks all... | |
| 21:55 | happy new year | |
| 21:55 | let's make 2012 rock!! | |
