Dan,

 

Not sure when minutes will be posted, but the entire meeting is posted here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBGTg0Hl95k

 

Hope this helps.

... AND never mind, Dan... I didn’t realize that they opened and closed the video so quickly.

 

I thought the video was a record of the meeting, not just a public access vehicle that wouldn’t be used if no-one showed up prior to start.

 

I hope future meetings will be recorded.

 

Thanks.

A lot of the meeting ended up taking place in the IRC - we're going to look at adding that to the videos in the future so we have a record of it.

Unfortunately the lag between the Hangout video and IRC can lead to some confusion.

Chad,

I'm confused. The video was is slow to start because I haven't edited out the beginning chatter yet, but it includes a discussion of all the points on the agenda. Unfortunately, there isn't much discussion because we had few participants live and in the hangout. I still think it serves as a record of the meeting, especially in combination with the notes. The post-meeting discussion on IRC, as is said in the meeting notes, didn't raise any newly actionable items. Also, as I mention in the video, if we continue to get so much participation over IRC, I will add it to the hangout video stream.

Bill,

Sorry we didn't see your email during the meeting. We weren't watching the online interactions as closely as at our previous business meetings. I will make a wiki page to help people participate via the Google Hangout before our next one.

Thanks.

[Dan Goldstein]

Thanks for the notes... Is the irc log available. I connected and there did not seem to be any history? Brad, didn't we discussed setting up irc with history a while ago for something else???

[Zach Zeman]

I keep logs of the IRC channel locally. Here's last night's: http://pastebin.com/F0jXeg6h That link will expire in 30 days.

Thanks.

Zach,

 

Sorry for the confusion... oddly, when I first opened the video it displayed only about 2 minutes of video. I now see 34 minutes.

 

You can either screen-share your IRC using the Hangouts Screen-Share tool or use something like XSplit to grab a screen region of the IRC client and place a box containing local video on top of the IRC chat.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Chad

Thanks Zach,

  One thing was left un resolved..

"<CGW_Jim_2paysoon> We should get a cat!"

So do we have a cat now?

Just want to let Daisy know. She considers herself the CGW mascot...

"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory   out there - good for you.
 
But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of the police forces and the fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory...
 
Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and you pay forward for the next kid who comes along."
