2 of us have shown up -- amne and me. That's really pathetic, guys. What |
9 |
happened? Did the rest of you miss the announcement in the summary? I |
10 |
was looking at the IRC log from last week, and here's what I saw |
11 |
(relevant parts only): |
12 |
|
13 |
< FlameBook+> I'm fine with the reschedule, as I'm probably going away soon, too |
14 |
< dberkholz@> amne, Betelgeuse, FlameBook, solar -- rescheduling to a special session work? |
15 |
< dberkholz@> ah, FlameBook already said yes |
16 |
<Betelgeuse@> o |
17 |
<Betelgeuse@> k |
18 |
< dberkholz@> looks like amne went to bed |
19 |
< dberkholz@> enough of us agree on that, so let's do it |
20 |
|
21 |
lu_zero said on IRC last night that he was going to be traveling today, |
22 |
but nobody's shown up to proxy for him: |
23 |
|
24 |
< lu_zero@> dberkholz today we'll the extended council meeting, isn't it? |
25 |
< dberkholz@> i optimistically hope it's not "extended" in the "taking a long time" sense |
26 |
< dberkholz@> but the postponed topics from last week, yes |
27 |
< lu_zero@> dberkholz again I'll be travelling |
28 |
< dberkholz@> lu_zero: oh, did it just come up? |
29 |
< lu_zero@> dberkholz pretty much =_= |
30 |
< lu_zero@> lately my time-space position is quite random |
31 |
< lu_zero@> _Hopefully_ I'll be there |
32 |
< lu_zero@> but 4 hours of travel can be extended =_= |
33 |
|

That means that it's conceivable that if solar (vapier's proxy), vapier |
35 |
and jokey didn't check IRC again or read the council summary, they |
36 |
could've missed the announcement. I guess I can see how people who are |
37 |
at the meeting might not read the summary, because they sat through it. |
38 |
I blame myself for not sending a standalone announcement outside of the |
39 |
summary. |
40 |
|
41 |
tove brought up an interesting point from GLEP 39: |
42 |
|
43 |
If any meeting has less than 50% attendance by council members, a |
44 |
new election for all places must be held within a month. The 'one |
45 |
year' is then reset from that point. |
46 |
|
47 |
musikc questioned whether that was only intended for the regular |
48 |
meetings or also irregular ones like this. |
49 |
|
50 |
Open up the floodgates, folks. What do you think, what should we do? I |
51 |
look forward to hearing your advice. |
52 |
|
53 |
Thanks, |
