sdanielf <sdanielf!~webchat rev-18-85-44-69.sugarlabs.org> has joined #sugar-meeting |
23:08 |
Claudia_ |
how many by the kids? |
23:09 |
walterbender |
Claudia_, haven't gotten those details yet |
23:09 |
sdanielf |
hi all |
23:09 |
walterbender |
hi sdanielf |
23:09 |
|
how is the conference? |
23:09 |
|
To let everyone know, we dedicated the release in the memory of Marco Gritti Presenti |
23:10 |
Claudia_ |
nice |
23:10 |
walterbender |
also, we've arranged to send a laptop with the latest Sugar bits to his daughter |
23:10 |
sdanielf |
walterbender, it begins on wednesday |
23:10 |
walterbender |
sdanielf, have fun!! |
23:10 |
|
any comments re 0.106? |
23:10 |
Quozl` |
(kids in 106; several contributions from sam parkinson) |
23:11 |
walterbender |
Quozl`, more than several :) |
23:11 |
|
Quozl`, is there an Ubuntu release with 106? |
23:11 |
Quozl` |
walterbender: planned, once martin does ubuntu packages. also once german does 106 packages, there'll be an xo release. |
23:12 |
|
walterbender: maybe a day or two. |
23:12 |
walterbender |
Quozl`, long ago I had an offer from Ubuntu to make an official whatever their equivalent of a spin is that they'd host/promote |
23:12 |
|
we didn't have a team to maintain it so I didn't follow up |
23:13 |
|
maybe the time has come |
23:13 |
Quozl` |
walterbender: maybe. or debian, given sebastian is into that and it feeds into ubuntu. |
23:13 |
walterbender |
Jonas has been helping with upstreaming to Debian. |
23:14 |
|
but it may be worth getting Ubuntu to help us with promotion |
23:14 |
|
they put a big effort on those sorts of things -- something we tend to fall short on |
23:14 |
gonzalo__ |
walterbender, Quozl`, in the end, is good have a better proposal on the .deb world |
23:15 |
walterbender |
but I don't want to commit without a solid plan |
23:15 |
Quozl` |
i'm worried we've failed in the .rpm world, given the breakage of collaboration for years. |
23:16 |
walterbender |
Quozl`, yes. Tch and I had discussed making a rewrite of the Collabora bits a priority for 108 |
23:17 |
|
let's discuss it when tch is around |
23:17 |
|
Just a few more quick topics before we jump into the main discussion -- elections |
23:18 |
|
#topic survey of youth contributors |
23:19 |
|
I am working with Jose Miguel and Daniel to get some feedback from the youth contributors to Sugar with the goal of understanding their motivations and what tools they use for learning and collaboration |
23:19 |
|
Jose Miguel: maybe we can circulate the questions this week? |
23:19 |
Claudia_ |
is that for the paper too? |
23:20 |
walterbender |
Claudia_, in theory at least |
23:20 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> If, it is good idea. |
23:20 |
sdanielf |
I can translate and send the questions to them |
23:20 |
walterbender |
jose miguel: I think the list (including your addition) is complete. It just needs to be translated into Spanish |
23:20 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> The subject is the contact. I think that Daniel has more arrived that I with these youngsters. |
23:20 |
walterbender |
sdanielf, that'd be great!!! |
23:21 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> There are not problems. If it already remained definite translate it... |
23:22 |
walterbender |
sdanielf, please ask them to try to get back to us ASAP |
23:22 |
sdanielf |
shall I make a list of interviewees for you to agree? |
23:22 |
gonzalo__ |
walterbender, could you share more about this survey? |
23:23 |
Quozl` |
aims, scope, timing? |
23:23 |
walterbender |
sdanielf, anyone you know would be good and we can add more |
23:23 |
|
the idea is to try to understand why kids contribute and how |
23:23 |
|
and what they learn along the way |
23:24 |
Quozl` |
have a sociologist or psychologist involved in design? ;-) |
23:24 |
walterbender |
we will start with the kids from UY who are somewhat a special case but will try to engage others too, such as Sam |
23:24 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> There is educating. ;) |
23:24 |
walterbender |
Quozl`, not yet... this is a pilot study to begin |
23:24 |
Quozl` |
thanks, good to hear. |
23:24 |
sdanielf |
what about asking english-speaker youth? they might have also interesting answers |
23:25 |
walterbender |
sdanielf, I will try to reach out to some of them |
23:26 |
gonzalo__ |
walterbender, would be good have more input than the UY case. |
23:26 |
walterbender |
gonzalo__, agreed. but we need to start somewhere |
23:26 |
|
and we have a big pool there to survey |
23:27 |
gonzalo__ |
walterbender, GSOC participants would be a group too |
23:27 |
walterbender |
gonzalo__, I was thinking younger -- GCI kids |
23:27 |
gonzalo__ |
tru GCI |
23:27 |
|
true |
23:27 |
|
but would be good ask for how much time they were involved |
23:27 |
walterbender |
gonzalo__, I have limited access to them though |
23:28 |
|
but I will try to reach as many as I can |
23:28 |
|
speaking of GSoC... |
23:28 |
gonzalo__ |
some kids only participate while GCI, others ontinue |
23:29 |
walterbender |
gonzalo__, yes... the ones that continue are easier to reach :) but in both cases it is a skewed sample |
23:29 |
|
but we want to learn from them regardless |
23:29 |
|
we should move on to the election discussion |
23:29 |
gonzalo__ |
ok |
23:29 |
walterbender |
is anyone here from the membership committee? |
23:30 |
|
while we are waiting... |
23:30 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> It is that in this moment is not a representative sample. |
23:30 |
|
<Jose_Miguel-es> And it is not the idea, create. |
23:30 |
walterbender |
Jose Miguel +1 |
23:30 |
|
#topic GSoC |
23:31 |
|
just a quick update |
23:31 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> But it is important to have data of how live it the youngsters. |
23:31 |
walterbender |
all 6 passed the midterms |
23:31 |
|
good progress from most |
23:31 |
|
1 a bit shaky but we are working on it |
23:31 |
|
tip of the hat to our mentors (including some new faces who are doing a great job) |
23:32 |
|
#topic elections |
23:32 |
|
Did everyone have a chance to read the memo that was circulated? |
23:32 |
gonzalo__ |
yes |
23:32 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> *Yes |
23:33 |
walterbender |
I thought the plan was reasonable... |
23:33 |
|
I am fine with whatever people want to do regarding the cycle |
23:33 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> I did not understand how it defines those who are chosen for each period of time. |
23:33 |
walterbender |
my only concern is that we get candidates |
23:34 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> Perhaps the English was not very good. ;) |
23:34 |
walterbender |
jose miguel: they proposed to options |
23:34 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> *Ok |
23:34 |
walterbender |
(1) the top 4 candidates are for 2 years; the bottom 3 for 1 year |
23:34 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> *Ok. |
23:34 |
walterbender |
or (2) the top 4 for 3 years; the bottom 3 for 2 years |
23:35 |
|
I may be mis-remembering some detals but it was approximately that |
23:35 |
gonzalo__ |
i don't have problem, but the model of change by half have the objective of provide continuity |
23:35 |
walterbender |
the reason we have not had elections is because we have not had enough candidates to compete for seats |
23:36 |
|
so the real issue to me is how to recruit |
23:36 |
CanoeBerry |
http://lists.sugarlabs.org/arc[…]-July/017507.html |
23:37 |
|
http://lists.sugarlabs.org/arc[…]tachment-0001.pdf |
23:37 |
Claudia_ |
Yes.. and recruit a balanced group of candidates |
23:37 |
walterbender |
I still feel guilty about recruiting sdanielf since he otherwise would have won GCI |
23:37 |
|
but I would love to get sam and/or ignacio and/or some other youth contributors to run |
23:38 |
gonzalo__ |
walterbender, i don't know if slobs is the best role for young hackers |
23:38 |
|
walterbender, i would like to have more teachers |
23:38 |
|
and we didn't achieve that |
23:39 |
Claudia_ |
Agree with Gonzalo |
23:39 |
gonzalo__ |
also would be nice have more representation from deployments.... |
23:39 |
Claudia_ |
perhaps the key is to make sure the voices of educators and young people are heard |
23:39 |
walterbender |
gonzalo__, +1 to teachers but the last one I managed to recruit was Gerald |
23:39 |
Claudia_ |
and well represented in what SugarLabs does |
23:40 |
walterbender |
how do we recruit them? |
23:40 |
Quozl` |
my opinion is that the kids are critical to the process, and having some kids on slobs wouldn't hurt, and would help. |
23:40 |
walterbender |
Quozl`, +1 |
23:41 |
|
w/o the kids we are a much less interesting project |
23:41 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> +1, but in accordance with Walter, that can prejudice them in spaces like *CGI. It is necessary to be accurate |
23:41 |
sdanielf |
I have to agree with gonzalo in that slobs isn't a place for young hackers |
23:41 |
walterbender |
sdanielf, could you elaborate? |
23:42 |
Quozl` |
slots it's a place for young slobs, and if they might be both capable of communicating and coding at the same time, no reason to exclude them. |
23:42 |
sdanielf |
I think that the only kids who could get involved in slobs are those who are already involved in the community, so they should be young hackers |
23:43 |
walterbender |
sdanielf, ??? |
23:43 |
Quozl` |
is that because the only community involvment we track is development? |
23:43 |
sdanielf |
but the cannot participate in GCI after that |
23:43 |
|
Quozl`: yes |
23:43 |
Cerlyn |
Would the SFC impose any restrictions, and could the kids be officers? It might be seen as odd to have a child delgated as Treasurer. |
23:43 |
icarito |
excuse me |
23:43 |
|
this meeting is not announced for another 15 minutes |
23:44 |
|
0 UTC |
23:44 |
gonzalo__ |
Quozl`, sugarlabs sin :/ |
23:44 |
Cerlyn |
icarito: Time zone error |
23:44 |
Quozl` |
icarito: yes. |
23:44 |
|
icarito: 7pm EST is not 0Z |
23:44 |
icarito |
it's difficult to know what EST is |
23:44 |
CanoeBerry |
Indeed. |
23:44 |
icarito |
but 0 UTC was easy |
23:44 |
CanoeBerry |
7PM EDT is the truth.. |
23:44 |
icarito |
except wrong |
23:44 |
Quozl` |
icarito: shell ... "TZ=:US/Eastern date" |

23:45 |
CanoeBerry |
GrannieB3: welcome |
23:45 |
gonzalo__ |
i had the same problem, we need set the meetings on UTC format |
23:45 |
|
samdroid-test has quit IRC |
23:46 |
GrannieB3 |
Hi… did I finally find the right place? |
23:46 |
Quozl` |
samdroid: GrannieB3: welcome, we're in the middle of the meeting, we've been meeting from 7pm Eastern US time. |
23:46 |
walterbender |
did the conversion wrong... I tried to announce in both |
23:46 |
|
and I usually announce city by city as well. |
23:46 |
CanoeBerry |
Or any large city works as well as UTC, do communicate times without drowning in daylight / savings time adjustments. |
23:46 |
walterbender |
I may not have this time? |
23:46 |
CanoeBerry |
Such as "NYC Time" etc. |
23:46 |
GrannieB3 |
It is so light here in Montana that I had no clue it was so late. |
23:47 |
walterbender |
back to sdanielf |
23:47 |
|
a couple of comments |
23:47 |
|
i5o is now known as nacho |
23:47 |
|
nacho is now known as i5o |
23:48 |
walterbender |
(1) while again I think it was a bad decision to mess up your GCI experience, I think with some of the others, who have already participated for many years it is less of an issue |
23:49 |
|
(2) the lack of Sugar in the schools is a separate problem |
23:49 |
icarito |
GrannieB3, meeting was announced for 15m from now in UTC time - here's a backlog of the last 47 mins http://paste.debian.net/279663/ |
23:49 |
walterbender |
but one where having some insights from students AND teachers would help |
23:50 |
|
sdanielf, I am also concerned that it is administrators who are more responsible for the lack of computer/Sugar use than teachers |
23:50 |
i5o |
Hi everyone |
23:50 |
walterbender |
we don't do a good job of catering to their needs |
23:50 |
sdanielf |
walterbender: then I think the board needs someone younger than me, I'm older since the time I was elected |
23:50 |
walterbender |
sdanielf, how did you manage to get older :) |
23:52 |
sdanielf |
walterbender: don't know, I think it's because of Java and C++ |
23:52 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> I think that it is important to have both sides. Motivated and greater youngsters that motivate and promote. |
23:55 |
GrannieB3 |
OK skimmed the part I missed. |
23:55 |
Claudia_ |
I think we need to make sure we help those members bring the voice of their peers (both young people and teachers)... great responsability |
23:56 |
walterbender |
icarito, GrannieB3 to catch you up -- we seem to have consensus on the model you guys have articulated |
23:56 |
GrannieB3 |
Great! |
23:56 |
|
I notice you had some confusion about the process. |
23:56 |
walterbender |
but we have concerns about how to ensure we recruit more candidates |
23:56 |
|
GrannieB3, wanna "unconfuse" us? |
23:57 |
GrannieB3 |
recruiting is very important… as is retention and participation of existing members. That is where the "short newsletter of recent accomplishments we need comes in. |
23:59 |
walterbender |
GrannieB3, I'm all for any and all mechanisms for retention and participation |
00:00 |
GrannieB3 |
Yes… the process is quite simple. All 7 offices need to be filled/refilled. If you want 2 cohorts on SLOBS, we can split it 4-3 with the top 4 vote getters having terms of 2 years and the next 3, 1 year. |
00:00 |
|
Or… it could be split differently if that is what you all decide |
00:01 |
walterbender |
GrannieB3, I suppose we can vote, but I think your intentions (continuity) are good |
00:01 |
gonzalo__ |
GrannieB3, icarito, did you plan any action about the sugarlabs members list? |
00:01 |
CanoeBerry |
GrannieB3: thanks again for yr bringing this together so concisely: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/arc[…]tachment-0001.pdf |
00:02 |
|
Personally, I'd not want to encourage 3-year terms as we (like many boards) have had a problem with absenteeism. |
00:02 |
GrannieB3 |
If you want 3 cohorts, it could be split 3-2-2. In order to make the turn-over annual there would need to be one (one time only) 3 year term for the top 3, 2 years for the middle 2 and 1 year for the last 2 |
00:03 |
walterbender |
CanoeBerry, 3 years is a long time -- too long IMHO |
00:04 |
CanoeBerry |
The doc above seems perfect, if folkd agree to drop item #8 |
00:04 |
|
*folks |
00:04 |
GrannieB3 |
We will be sending a message to the current membership touting all the great things SugarLabs has done recently and encouraging them to run for office. I don't know if it is psycologically a good idea to invite them to take their names off the list. |
00:05 |
|
If they want to be dropped, they can initiate the process with a simple email reply |
00:07 |
walterbender |
that is fine... but getting more participation from the community is key |
00:07 |
gonzalo__ |
+1 |
00:07 |
walterbender |
I think we have many people participating who are not members |
00:07 |
|
or don't know that they can participate |
00:08 |
gonzalo__ |
the big olpc community is fragmented |
00:08 |
GrannieB3 |
Right! We need to recruit from other groups of folks who are active with Sugar… such as UnleashKids, OLPC France, etc. etc, etc. |
00:08 |
Claudia_ |
I agree with Gonzalo |
00:08 |
gonzalo__ |
and we as sugarlabs have a tendency to value more development work |
00:09 |
|
i would like to find a way to involve more people, writing docs, etc |
00:09 |
GrannieB3 |
If you are looking for young people, teachers, administrators, etc… you are looking for far more than just developers |
00:10 |
gonzalo__ |
GrannieB3, yes |
00:10 |
|
two examples: |
00:10 |
Quozl` |
(developers used to mean also writing docs, translations, and promotion ... but that's not what developers means these days) |
00:11 |
gonzalo__ |
with 0.106 we included social.sugarlabs.org, a site to rovide interactive help |
00:11 |
|
and help.sugarlabs.org have the docs created for many members in the community |
00:11 |
|
Quozl`, the point is involve more people, not have the same people doing more work |
00:12 |
|
Quozl`, we need enlarge the community |
00:12 |
GrannieB3 |
the teachers in Peru, Argentina, and Paraguay might be a place to look for members. Rosamel joined once, she has to be the best Sugar teacher anywhere! Her health is getting a lot better so maybe she would be willing to participate |
00:12 |
Quozl` |
gonzalo__: yes, and promoting what some people do can have the effect of reducing what others do. because somebody else is doing it. |
00:12 |
GrannieB3 |
She is now teaching other teachers too! |
00:13 |
gonzalo__ |
Quozl`, i don't follow |
00:13 |
|
what should we do? |
00:14 |
Quozl` |
gonzalo__: we should not emphasise coding development effort. we should emphasise features and community of users. |
00:14 |
GrannieB3 |
Rozamel in Uruguay… she was very ill with breast cancer in the years after some of us met her. But she is doing soooo much better now. |
00:15 |
|
i5o is now known as nacho |
00:15 |
GrannieB3 |
She is a very effective teacher and teaches at a local teachers college in Uruguay in addition to being an administrator at a school |
00:15 |
Quozl` |
gonzalo__: ask yourself this; where does the community of sugar users exist now; how do they communicate? iaep@ sugar-devel@ facebook? i think a community of users is needed, _from_ which development and outreach may be guided. |
00:16 |
gonzalo__ |
Quozl`, well communication is a big problem, evidently |
00:17 |
GrannieB3 |
How about the folks in OLPC France? I love that they want Sugar on every device. Some of the Activities have a long way to go, but there soon will be enough to promote it for use on non XO devices at schools all over the world |
00:17 |
|
Take that LAUSD and your iPads!!! |
00:18 |
Quozl` |
... and with no well-functioning user community, Sugar ends up being pushed around by developers or funded organisations like deployments or OLPC. |
00:18 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> I have to go me... |
00:19 |
Quozl` |
Re: elections, I'm not a member of SLOBS, but I suggest that SLOBS reach out to people who may be able to join it. Young or old, developer or not. |
00:20 |
samdroid |
+1 |
00:20 |
Quozl` |
sits down |
00:21 |
GrannieB3 |
So… the goal is to grow the SugarLabs membership and encourage people to run for SLOBS |
00:21 |
walterbender |
yes |
00:21 |
|
not a new goal |
00:22 |
|
but we have never been good at it |
00:22 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> *Sorry... *Bye. |
00:22 |
|
* Jose_Miguel has quit (Quit: Page closed) |
00:22 |
|
Jm_ has quit IRC |
00:23 |
walterbender |
so any renewed effort and new insights would be great |
00:23 |
GrannieB3 |
So…. maybe more than just a short newsy item… a real (one time only perhaps) Newsletter (note the capital "N") |
00:24 |
walterbender |
GrannieB3, that is certainly one point of our effort |
00:24 |
|
but do we have other ideas too? |
00:24 |
GrannieB3 |
Who can contribute to such an effort? If someone feeds me the stories, I can put it into a newsletter |
00:25 |
gonzalo__ |
GrannieB3, I can send you something, if you correct my grammar ;) |
00:26 |
GrannieB3 |
Yes! Gonzalo, that would be great! |
00:26 |
gonzalo__ |
GrannieB3, when you want release the Newsletter? |
00:26 |
GrannieB3 |
anyone else? |
00:26 |
gonzalo__ |
(of course we need more people) |

GrannieB3 |
We wanted to send the email out to the membership the first week in August |
00:26 |
walterbender |
GrannieB3, I have 8 years of blogs you can draw from |
00:27 |
kaametza |
GrannieB3, we will get you news from Peru |
00:27 |
gonzalo__ |
GrannieB3, maybe you can send requests to more people, samdroid and nacho can tell us abbout GCI too ;) |
00:27 |
GrannieB3 |
Not old news …. Walter… 8 years ago… no. We need current stuff |
00:28 |
|
Do you all have my email to send me the blurbs? |
00:28 |
Quozl` |
Good old news is just as good, if it is re-edited for context. |
00:28 |
gonzalo__ |
GrannieB3, maybe ask to sora or the guys from olpc france too |
00:28 |
kaametza |
GrannieB3, you shold write to deployments leaders like Maureen |
00:28 |
walterbender |
GrannieB3, I am working on my latest post, but I doubt most people know about much of anything I have posted in the past 6 months |
00:28 |
kaametza |
I'll pass you her email |
00:29 |
Quozl` |
GrannieB3: and give anybody you ask the option of writing only a small paragraph, so they have a graceful way out if they are busy. ;-) |
00:29 |
walterbender |
GrannieB3, a lot of the deployments post on FB |
00:29 |
GrannieB3 |
I won't have time to read thru 8 years of blogs looking for the gems. Walter, could you find some of the stuff you would like to include. Let's keep everything short and snappy! |
00:29 |
walterbender |
you can mine those stories too |
00:30 |
GrannieB3 |
No…. I'll edit and rewrite as needed, but I don't want to write the storied too. Not enough time! You can all have "bylines" on what you send me. |
00:31 |
walterbender |
GrannieB3, can you give me some criteria for what you think you need? |
00:31 |
Claudia_ |
I have to go soon |
00:32 |
GrannieB3 |
Super interesting things that will appeal to the current membership and the type of new members we want to attract. |
00:32 |
walterbender |
Claudia_, thanks... ttyl |
00:32 |
GrannieB3 |
Claudia… how about a blurb from you? |
00:33 |
kaametza |
maybe every current SLOB can contribute with their story |
00:33 |
Claudia_ |
+1 |
00:33 |
GrannieB3 |
good idea kaametza |
00:34 |
|
(You can tell I don't know how to use irc) |
00:34 |
walterbender |
not sure I understand... "their story" |
00:34 |
Claudia_ |
I am happy to work on something.. it would be great to get some topics, so we end up with a good collection |
00:35 |
GrannieB3 |
How about you all "pitch" your ideas and tell whether you would be willing to write it or suggest someone else who could do it? |
00:35 |
kaametza |
many stories to tell I guess, it might be interesting to read their experiences as SLOBs |
00:35 |
GrannieB3 |
Then we can look for balance and pick a reasonable list of stories to include |
00:36 |
Claudia_ |
could we again summarize the overall goal? |
00:36 |
GrannieB3 |
does anyone want to be an "assistant editor?" |
00:37 |
gonzalo__ |
kaametza, ? |
00:37 |
walterbender |
Claudia_, I think the stated goal is "A short “newsletter”about the recent |
00:37 |
|
accomplishments of Sugar Labs will need to be prepared by the board for use" for recruiting members |
00:38 |
Claudia_ |
put together a collection of different kinds of stories? establish a good communication mechanism (periodic)? attract SLOBs candidates? engage the community? |
00:38 |
kaametza |
gonzalo__, I'll help by putting together some news from Peru |
00:38 |
GrannieB3 |
we want to energize the current SugarLabs membership, recruit new members, and encourage people to run for SLOBS. The means we will use is a "newsletter" semt to current members and prospective members |
00:38 |
|
Thats a suggested goal |
00:38 |
gonzalo__ |
i think engage the community is the big objective. include a note about the near elections would be good |
00:39 |
kaametza |
gonzalo__, maybe Colombia as well |
00:39 |
walterbender |
maybe Rwanda as well |
00:39 |
GrannieB3 |
This is sounding exciting! |
00:39 |
Claudia_ |
so.. a bit of all.. |
00:40 |
GrannieB3 |
I can hardly wait to see what you guys contribute and what else we can find out there in the great world of Sugar! |
00:40 |
Claudia_ |
it would be good to have a bit of structure, so we know where to contribute |
00:40 |
GrannieB3 |
OK. Send the items to me also email contacts for others we should encourage to contribute |
00:41 |
|
Do you wan tme to put my email here? Or will that cause me a problem later (spam) |
00:41 |
walterbender |
GrannieB3, we have your email |
00:41 |
kaametza |
:D |
00:42 |
GrannieB3 |
good! |
00:42 |
kaametza |
thx GrannieB3 for helping with this! |
00:43 |
GrannieB3 |
Our goal (by the schedule) is to have this ready to send out by mid-August, so it would be good if I could have the items by the end of July |
00:43 |
|
I have house guests coming the first 2 weeks in August so I shoul dtry to get it in order before then |
00:43 |
gonzalo__ |
ok, end of July |
00:44 |
GrannieB3 |
Sooner is better so I don't get them all at once! |
00:45 |
walterbender |
will try to get you something soon |
00:45 |
|
anything else we need to discuss tonight? |
00:45 |
GrannieB3 |
good! |
00:45 |
|

00:47 |
walterbender |
OK... let's wrap up |
00:47 |
