It does not have to be very detailed, or complete, but just an overview Dave - stop programming and type words Do we have approval by them? so we need to develop an agenda for the conference? I will finish drafting that tomorrow and we will all review it ok will you mail it out to everyone I think they want that before they give final approval, so I want to complete it quickly so that we get confirmed approval before we get too far into planning --> slavik914 (~slavik914-at-www2.mrbrklyn.com) has joined #nylxs yes, I will mail it out to everyone hello I need a list of email addresses jfg205-at-nyu.edu what is Joanne's? mrichardson-at-abc.state.ny.us and miker-at-nylxs.com send to both and should I use Michaels from abc? okay I'm cycmn-at-nyct.net BTW Joe - your on that other list ruben-at-mrbrklyn.com Hello Steve cool thanks ruben I also spoke, appearently, with Paul's grandmother was she nice >slavik914< NO DISCUSSION of the other project she only speaks spanish and is hard of hearing Ah.... that's a tough phone call That explains all then try again in the morning She did a convincing job of explaining there was no such person as Paul :) <-- slavik914 has quit (Client Quit) what? maybe he's on the lam BEGIN:VCARD^M FN:Paul Rodriguez^M REV:2003-07-29T01:46:20^M TEL:1-201-864-4323^M TEL;HOME:1-201-866-3918^M EMAIL;INTERNET:sangretoro-at-yahoo.com^M END:VCARD^M he has come to terms with urban decay That really makes me laugh hard --> slavik914 (~slavik914-at-www2.mrbrklyn.com) has joined #nylxs Okay good enough... battery died And I wrote Richard she do not want him corrupted by nylxs (Stallman) Did you email Richard? is thi about GNOME? he just said he did yes this is about gnome thanks Yes, I did email Richard who is getting corrupted by nylxs? paul But not Marco even after 2 years of effort I dont think I met him Is Ruben lagging?

He's says we should have official Non-profit status by Nov. 1st Really - based on any changes by us? He also said that it is perfectly fine for us to operate as though we already are officially a non-profit he didn't tell me that when i saw him i asked him and that's what he told me about nov 1 Yeah that to other organizations that want our 501c papers he says that we should have some documentation some places want to see the paperwork ruben or mike do either of you have that i know he said we should already have some that says we're in the process i guess i have some paperwork Nope - I have no paperwork. NYLXS was legally owned by Joe Maffia mike's got it mike bring it to the next meeting please so we can see what the deal is We're going to need to go through that i also asked about a contact at the irs, he said it should be on the docs That is good yeah what else was on your plate Joe? that was basically the jist of it No conference stuff? just talking to someone at NYU about hosting the event Right - any progress on that front? not really, I haven't even found the person I need to talk to yet i don't know who can say yes or no to the event Maybe Tim Oconner is a good person to ask? i suppose i could call someone from the events board is he in ITS ? okay...that sounds like a start Security at ITS - Linux guy cool although they just cut a lot of people loose i hope he wasn't one of the casulties yea...
