[20:20] <asad> bht was saying something about logging...
[20:21] <emily> ok, bht are you going to do that?
[20:21] <bht> i hadnt planned on it.  i am logging and can do it though.
[20:21] <emily> sweet
[20:21] <emily> is it just the four of us then?
[20:21] <bht> i also hadnt really planned on being a part of this meeting.
[20:21] <emily> of course you hadnt
[20:22] <emily> well this isnt much of a meeting then. i've got hbo here 
if nobody else is speaking up
[20:23] <asad> let's do it!
[20:23] <asad> first item:
[20:23] <asad> site design
[20:23] <asad> anyone want to take on that one?
[20:23] <bradley> let's center it, at least
[20:23] <bradley> i don't know how to make that happen though
[20:24] <asad> some browsers it is center...
[20:24] <asad> firefox isnt
[20:24] <emily> ok, well centering sounds like a good idea
[20:25] <emily> none of us can do it though
[20:25] <asad> maybe that is a question for #mir ?
[20:25] <emily> mtopper can probably do it
[20:25] <emily> i dont know if he is actually here though
[20:26] <bradley> he will not be around for 8 days
[20:26] <emily> oh..
[20:27] <emily> ok well anything else we can talk about in regards to 
site design
[20:27] <asad> i am fine with how the site looks now, but i will stand aside
[20:28] <emily> i also want to stand aside on this subject
[20:28] <bradley> center the site is a fine first step, then we can come 
back to the issue, i guess
[20:28] <asad> ok
[20:28] <emily> ok
[20:28] <asad> is there anything else on site design? can we consent to 
move on?
[20:29] <emily> i think the three of us can consent...
[20:29] <emily> the next topic is tech related as well....
[20:29] <emily> maybe we shouldnt bother
[20:29] * asad twinkles
[20:30] <bradley> i don't feel very confident on the next topic though
[20:30] <bradley> themes of coverage for local IMCs and Indy.us (similar 
to http://cmrn.net)
[20:31] <emily> do you feel confident on any of the topics?
[20:31] <asad> what about "working on collaberation features"
[20:32] <bradley> (victoria from austin says hi - were in frsc now)
[20:33] <bradley> unless there are other people that want to work on 
indy.us features.... i'm not comitting to anything
[20:33] <bradley> more than i already do
[20:34] <asad> what exactly do you want to collaberate on?
[20:34] <bradley> i don't want to continue being the person that 
promotes such a large percentage of the local features to center column....
[20:34] <asad> are you talking about making features or promoting?
[20:35] <bradley> i'm talking about promoting in those lines before
[20:35] <bradley> but, about collaberation, here are some ideas:
[20:35] <bradley> http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/ImcUsWorkPad
[20:36] <asad> ok, i am down to promoting (as well as creating bradley!)
[20:36] <bradley> great!
[20:36] <asad> just not too much regarding a lot of stuff being features 
goes on here
[20:36] <asad> so i really feel like i am working on an other locations 
feature
[20:37] <bradley> until this IRC room is full of IMCistas from around 
the country... the case will what you mention, asad
[20:38] <bradley> i promoted features from all over, not just santa cruz 
and indybay
[20:38] <asad> of course
[20:38] <bradley> people seem to be very thankful too, so you'll get 
props, which is nice
[20:38] <asad> but i am talking more along the lines of "creating"
[20:38] <baku> hey y'all.  i'm paying attention now
[20:39] <bradley> hey baku
[20:39] <emily> hi baku
[20:39] <asad> as i saw on the workpad, they are talking about student 
work...
[20:39] <asad> no colleges in dallas that are doing anything of the sort
[20:39] <bradley> asad, try to make a feature proposal from the student 
resistance pad
[20:40] <asad> i will be more than willing to help grab information from 
IMCs,  but i just dont feel like that is contributing a whole lot, 
because anyone can do that.
[20:40] <asad> but if it is needed
[20:40] <asad> i dont have a busy calendar
[20:40] <bradley> but it takes someone to do it, YES, it is NEEDED
[20:40] <bradley> that is definately contibuting
[20:40] <emily> asad do it
[20:41] <asad> ok
[20:41] <asad> anyone else? ;)
[20:41] <-- ali has quit (Quit: ali)
[20:43] <bradley> anything else?
[20:43] <asad> can we move on?
[20:43] <asad> to...
[20:44] <asad> ImcUsOutreach checkin
[20:44] <asad> i think...
[20:44] <emily> sure
[20:44] <asad> ok
[20:44] <bradley> i have not done any direct outreach, sorry
[20:44] <asad> north texas wants to be syndicated...
[20:45] <asad> but questions arise..
[20:45] <bradley> did you print it out for them, the FAQ?
[20:45] <asad> will Osailt work on mir?
[20:45] <asad> (no bradley, i wasnt able to get out to denton)
[20:45] <asad> i just e-mailed them though
[20:46] <emily> theres still about 21 locals that need outreach
[20:46] <-- baku has quit (Quit: CGI:IRC)
[20:47] <asad> i will keep you all updated on the ntimc situation
[20:47] <emily> a bunch of the dada sites are having trouble with 
syndication
[20:48] <bradley> i need to sign off for about 10 minutes
[20:48] <-- bradley has quit (Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.68a [Firefox 
1.0.4/20050511])
[20:48] <emily> well asad now its just you and me
