<doomcat> hi jay4rest
<jay4rest> hi
<ColonelPanik> No, nothing is done, lots of projects stuck in the middle.
<dthomasdigital> Guys It's going to be a short meeting for me tonight, I have to bow out early, I'll hit the points in the agenda then it's a open forum. 
<kenneth_> hi there
<jimrz> ok
<jay4rest> no prob
<dthomasdigital> 1st item, as you can see we did not get the cottonwood mall
<jay4rest> boo
<doomcat> : (
<dthomasdigital> I was told we don't meet the criteria they have for non-profits.
<dthomasdigital> A load of crap, and I let them know how pissed I was for being strung along.
<jimrz> shame about the mall, but nice rebound getting the library setup so quickly
<jay4rest> we are a 501 right?
<dthomasdigital> I'm sending a formal complain to the Simon company the company that owns the mall
<jay4rest> definately
<dthomasdigital> pending jay4rest it takes months even years to get your official 501
<jay4rest> sorry, my background it takes a few months
<jay4rest> 501(c)3
<jay4rest> religious
<dthomasdigital> The NMLC is registered with the state, and we have a pending letter filed with the IRS.
<nick125> That should be good enough proof
<jay4rest> Ya, a little different
<dthomasdigital> religious gets a fast track, but that should be that way.
<nick125> dthomasdigital: Why didn't you register NMLC as a religious organization? Go Cult Penguin!
<nick125> :D
<jay4rest> lol
<dthomasdigital> oh well we missed out, but thanks to jim, erik, kenneth and ColonelPanik we are book, and paid for at the RR main library
<jay4rest> Richard is the high priest, right?
<jay4rest> Stallman...
<jay4rest> Thanks jim, erik, kenneth and ColonelPanik
<dthomasdigital> Also I was able to build great looking display thanks to the same group looks real good and can be used for other events as well
<dthomasdigital> pics up soon of it
<gcleric> I'm just a minion.
<dthomasdigital> a minion maybe but you should see the nice acrylic holders we have now for brouchurs and flyers thansk to your minon donations
<jay4rest> your not a minion to us
<gcleric> igor... is the name minioning is my game....
<doomcat> yeah all of the tri fold is going good so far
<gcleric> yesss...master...
<gcleric> =)
<jimrz> <grin>
<doomcat> lol
<dthomasdigital> Oh yes and a big thanks to doomcat  whoas spent a good part of his time folding about 200 tr-fold flyers
* gcleric tosses doomcat a cookie.
<jimrz> thanks doomcat
<doomcat> your welcome
<jay4rest> purrrfect
<doomcat> : )
<dthomasdigital> The library sure looks nice, its a good location. But we will need to really advertise, w can all do that
<jay4rest> I plug it on the podcast
<dthomasdigital> I've got links to all the print media on the agenda page. we can meet again of people want mice color laser printed copies
<jimrz> yep...put me down on the list of folks to do flyers...when/where you want to meet up to distribute them?
<dthomasdigital> speaking of the podcast jay4rest it's soundign great
<dthomasdigital> I'll send it out on the mailing list ASAP
<jay4rest> thank you
<jay4rest> I need email comments
<dthomasdigital> What do you guys think of the flyer does it work?
<gcleric> jay4rest: excellent stuff!
<jay4rest> tell me what you think and I read it on the podcast
<dthomasdigital> ColonelPanik it's in SVG so you can change it up pretty easy in inkscape
<dthomasdigital> Also for some reason we did not get a SFD package, and I know I registered on time....thought I had this one planned out better.
<dthomasdigital> but we got lots of swag so it's not a big deal
<gcleric> dthomasdigital: at least this time there's no barcamps.
<dthomasdigital> Don't worry you see a black box when you view it, open it up in inkscape and all is well
<dthomasdigital> gcleric you are right I check nothing is competing with us this year.
<ColonelPanik> I have already sent it on to my co-event coordinator
<dthomasdigital> ColonelPanik do we need to send you printed tri-folds?
<dthomasdigital> I'll do them on a color laser.
<dthomasdigital> Just remember any ideas you have to promote the date and location please feel free to do so, I'll be sure the location is ready and set up.
<kenneth_> only til 3pm at the library?
<ColonelPanik> Rest a beat, gotta talk with the "other" guy.
<dthomasdigital> Yes, the 11:00 till 3:00 works pretty good for them and they got us that time with real short notice.
