[5:05 PM] <photomatt_> <meetup
[5:05 PM] <photomatt_> P
[5:05 PM] <photomatt_> >
[5:06 PM] <tunicwriter> What he meant was <meetup> :P
[5:06 PM] <photomatt_> yes, what an auspicious start, with bad markup!
[5:06 PM] * skippy breaks out the meeting validator.
[5:06 PM] <SteveAgl> well we can end without closing tag :)
[5:06 PM] <SteveAgl> to make it full unvalidate
[5:07 PM] -->| mikelittle (n=mikelitt@81.97.244.130) has joined #wordpress-meetup
[5:08 PM] * skippy waits in anticipation.
[5:08 PM] <photomatt_> first item up is the WP responsibilities page
[5:08 PM] <gsnedders> should we actaully do some meeting stuff?
[5:08 PM] <photomatt_> after the blog post it seems to have filled out nicely
[5:09 PM] <SteveAgl> yep lot of "subscribers"... what will be the next step now ?
[5:09 PM] <photomatt_> which is a mixed blessing
[5:09 PM] <photomatt_> coordinating everyone might be a job in and of itself
[5:09 PM] <photomatt_> what's the best way to allow everyone who signed up to contribute most efficiently?
[5:09 PM] <photomatt_> and not waste their time or ours
[5:10 PM] <ringmaster> Someone from each group should write out test cases.
[5:11 PM] <ringmaster> Wiki page per group?
[5:11 PM] <ringmaster> I know there are other people here with ideas.
[5:11 PM] <photomatt_> ringmaster: test cases, could you expand?
[5:11 PM] <ringmaster> Well, for instance XML-RPC.
[5:12 PM] <ringmaster> It would be helpful to know what needs to work to "pass" WordPress on that element in the list.
[5:12 PM] <photomatt_> okay
[5:12 PM] <photomatt_> any other ideas?
[5:13 PM] <tunicwriter> Perhaps "team leaders" to better organize people, so you're not doing it all yourself, Matt...
[5:13 PM] <ringmaster> Team leaders might be good, although the folks on the list have already somewhat self-organized.
[5:14 PM] <SteveAgl> team leaders should be instructed to yuse all the same tools, tracs for some stuff, hacker ML for other etc
[5:14 PM] <stevecooley> can we link to a page on the codex right from the "signup sheet" ?
[5:14 PM] <stevecooley> for each area
[5:15 PM] <photomatt_> totally, that'd make sense to me
[5:15 PM] <photomatt_> we should probably move this out of the User: space as well
[5:16 PM] <stevecooley> I mean, I can kind of see how it would be awesome to get this on paper, so to speak, but.. i can also seeing it getting out of hand and everything is listed on weird pages that don't make sense if you didn't come in through the help wanted sign up page
[5:16 PM] <stevecooley> right, ok
[5:16 PM] <stevecooley> yeah, what you said
[5:16 PM] <ringmaster> A single person should be appointed to create all of those pages so they're consistent.
[5:17 PM] <ringmaster> Or at least to coordinate their creation.
[5:17 PM] -->| wtfrandi (n=randi@rkdp-ip-nas-1-p414.telkom-ipnet.co.za) has joined #wordpress-meetup
[5:17 PM] <photomatt_> okay, sounds like a good start
[5:17 PM] <photomatt_> any other ideas on that topic?
[5:17 PM] <MichaelH> I'll be happy to create the pages.
[5:18 PM] <ringmaster> I nominate HichaelH.
[5:18 PM] <stevecooley> I'd be happy if Michael H made the pages
[5:18 PM] <--| gsnedders has left #wordpress-meetup
[5:18 PM] <MichaelH> How bout under something like Testing/XML-RPC??
[5:19 PM] -->| SteveAgl_ (n=Somewher@151.81.7.177) has joined #wordpress-meetup
[5:19 PM] <SteveAgl_> shhit
[5:19 PM] <Pir8> ok im heading to the local bar, going to have an extra pint in celebration of WP BDay
[5:19 PM] <SteveAgl_> got disconnected
[5:19 PM] <Pir8> w00t
[5:19 PM] <Pir8> Long live WP
[5:20 PM] <SteveAgl_> what did i miss ?
[5:20 PM] <skippy> not much, SteveAgl
[5:20 PM] <photomatt_> SteveAgl: check out the logs when things are done
[5:20 PM] <SteveAgl_> ok i'll check log tomorrow :)
[5:21 PM] <photomatt_> next up, someone suggested a paper be submitted to OSCON
[5:21 PM] <photomatt_> anyone planning on going?
[5:21 PM] <skippy> I'd love to go.
[5:21 PM] <skippy> I'd love to present.
[5:21 PM] <ringmaster> I'd love to sit in the audience and heckle.
[5:21 PM] <photomatt_> I'm very likely going this year
[5:21 PM] <Pir8> I'd be interested, good public speaker!
[5:21 PM] <photomatt_> I've avoided past years because I think it's rediciously overpriced
[5:22 PM] <skippy> i agree about the prices
[5:22 PM] <photomatt_> but if you're presenting, it's free!
[5:22 PM] <Pir8> dont they have any sort of discounts for OS projects/undertakings ?
[5:22 PM] <shep> where is OSCON?
[5:22 PM] <skippy> shep: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/os2006/create/e_sess/
[5:22 PM] <Pir8> gone, will check logs later tonight
[5:22 PM] <masquerade> photomatt_, how much is it anyways?
[5:22 PM] <Pir8> have a good one folks.
[5:23 PM] <shep> if podz speaks, i will go and heckle.... errr.. listen
[5:24 PM] <photomatt_> I don't remember the exact price, over 1k
[5:25 PM] <shep> HOLY CRAP
[5:25 PM] <shep> sorry...
[5:25 PM] <skippy> it's definitely not for the casual attendee.
[5:25 PM] * masquerade scratches that off the list of conferences he's interested in attending this year
[5:25 PM] <shep> that's like 1/30 of my salary as a teacher
[5:26 PM] <skippy> but you get to rub shoulders with RMS and ESR, and listen to CmdTaco and Hemos pontificate about how sublime they are!
[5:26 PM] <shep> probably more like 1/28th
[5:26 PM] <skippy> photomatt_ were you planning on submitting a formal presentation, or just being a regular attendee?
[5:26 PM] <photomatt_> I think it's closer to 1800
