walterbender |
ok, i grabbed walter's kbd |
| 21:07 |
|
we have a quote from Silicon Mechanics for two machines below the $2500 mark |
| 21:07 |
|
i ran this quote through a bunch of sysadmin friends |
| 21:08 |
|
they recommended me to buy memory and drives from newegg |
| 21:08 |
|
so i'll split the order in two parts, buy the minimum amount of disks and ram from S.M. and the rest from newegg |
| 21:08 |
|
i'll send out the order to bkuhm this week |
| 21:08 |
|
thanks bernie |

I was supposed to do some research but had very little time this week |
| 21:11 |
cjl |
me too neither |
| 21:11 |
|
holt pinged me, but I have been busy. |
| 21:13 |
walterbender |
I did have a few conversations with people... back ground discussions |
| 21:14 |
|
nemo_ <nemo_!~webchat jita.sugarlabs.org> has joined #sugar-meeting |
| 21:14 |
walterbender |
but maybe move the discussion to email? /me is travelling a lot the next two weeks... not sure if Thursdays will work |
| 21:15 |
cjl |
walterbender: Will you write an opening salvo to IAEP? |
| 21:15 |
walterbender |
cjl: sure |
| 21:16 |
|
did anyone else have anything to report on this topic? icarito? |
| 21:16 |
cjl |
background, solicitation ofr idea, emphasis that is only preliminary exploration, etc. |
| 21:16 |
alsroot |
yes, emailing to iaep@ will be useful, at least there will be a place to share thoughs |
| 21:17 |
Icarito_mobile |
Only what kaametza suggested |
| 21:17 |
walterbender |
cjl: while I remember, I have a meeting in .MX next week... anything I should know re expediting i18n? |
| 21:17 |
Icarito_mobile |
A coop sounds lika a good model |
| 21:17 |
cjl |
walterbender: The Nahuatl team is doing good work |
| 21:17 |
|
CanoeBerry <CanoeBerry!~CanoeBerr72.252.182.90> has joined #sugar-meeting |
| 21:18 |
Icarito_mobile |
Any feedback on that? |
| 21:19 |
walterbender |
Icarito_mobile: I am not sure how it would work... legally or practically. |
| 21:19 |
cjl |
Icarito_mobile: Most coops I know of are sales oriented (farmers, etc.) except for real estate coops (condos). |
| 21:19 |
|
I'm not sure it is a structure that necessarily lends itself to tex-exempt status |
| 21:19 |
|
but it can be looked at. |
| 21:20 |
Icarito_mobile |
Guys google 'open source hackers cooperative' |
| 21:21 |
|
It is innovative but seems like it could workp |
| 21:21 |
|
Im on thumb keyb so cant post referenxes |
| 21:23 |
walterbender |
cjl: from .MX: Cora, Huichol and Mexicanero? |
| 21:23 |
cjl |

| 21:23 |
|
walterbender: I think I need ISO-639 codes and plurals |
| 21:24 |
Icarito_mobile |
cjl yes thats it theres also something at p2pfoundation |
| 21:25 |
walterbender |
cjl: I'll look into it |
| 21:27 |
|
Icarito_mobile: I am still back at a more basic question: the one I thought you were researching: what are the goals? |
| 21:27 |
|
Icarito_mobile: I think discussing a specific solution such as a coop is premature |
| 21:28 |
cjl |
Icarito_mobile: While the concept of a cooperative has a nice sound, when seeking tax-exempt status with the IRS, doing something innovative may not be the best approach, but I'm not saying it should be ruled out of consideration |
| 21:28 |
alsroot |
was waiting ieap@ email to start sharing though in this, goals, case |
| 21:29 |
walterbender |
alsroot: I'll start the discussion tonight when I get home. |
| 21:29 |
cjl |
I'm interested in exploring othe rorgs that do similar things (e.g. donorschoose.org) tio understand how they have developed oversight methods and processes tha tare well understood by the IRS and familiar t othem. |
| 21:29 |
|
but "let a thousand flowers bloom" on the list. |
| 21:30 |
walterbender |
only has about 10 more minutes of battery... |
| 21:30 |
Icarito_mobile |

Sorry im switching to laptop |
| 21:32 |
alsroot |
in any case, will be useful to start ieap@ discussion and, after some time, start sorting out all ideas |
| 21:32 |
walterbender |
alsroot: +1 |
| 21:33 |
cjl |
yep |
| 21:33 |
walterbender |
anything else for today? |
| 21:33 |
cjl |
Icarito-mobile: Maybe look into coopercate.org |
| 21:34 |
icarito |
it would be a good idea to respond to laura's email to slobs |
| 21:35 |
|
she took a bunch of time to research cooperatives |
| 21:36 |
|

icaritoWe'l ltake it to IAEP |
| 21:36 |
icarito |
cjl, good |
| 21:37 |
alsroot |
I think it will be useful to make ieap@ email clear for goal vs. method (in case of coops). I guess not problems to discuss it in parallel |
| 21:38 |
walterbender |
alsroot: I will make it clear (or try to :P ) |
| 21:38 |
