Adjourn. m (kentn) Kent Nassen #6 of 16 in item 347 at Sat, May 10, 2014 (17:17): Thanks, Dan. I thought it was one of the better board meetings Grex has had in a while. Lots of good discussions and ideas for making things run better. I hope we can keep it up. It was a rather long meeting, but I guess that's expected when we haven't met for quite a few months and have several new members with good ideas. We also had a number of issues building up over the last few months and a number of status items to go over. If we meet more frequently we can possibly keep the agenda shorter and get done sooner. Note that meeting minutes usually go in a separate item so when we are ready to post them we can do that. It would be good if you review the notes that TS took and see if you agree before posting. Thanks. From (walkman) walkman #7 of 16 in item 347 at Sat, May 10, 2014 (17:45): If we wanted to discuss things like the direction of grex, should we do it here? There were some great points about what grex has had to offer in the past compared to now and that the focus should be on learning unix. I agree with this and have some ideas. From (kentn) Kent Nassen #8 of 16 in item 347 at Sat, May 10, 2014 (18:42): Agora item 6 would work for this I think. I could link it to coop, I think, if that would help. Or, you could start a new coop item if you think it should be a separate discussion. From (cross) Dan Cross #9 of 16 in item 347 at Sat, May 10, 2014 (21:14): For that matter, perhaps it's time to roll coop. From (kentn) Kent Nassen #10 of 16 in item 347 at Sat, May 10, 2014 (22:14): I'm in agreement about that. It's probably long over due. From (tod) Novichok #11 of 16 in item 347 at Sat, May 10, 2014 (23:15): Nice to meet you all at the meeting last night. From (cross) Dan Cross #12 of 16 in item 347 at Sun, May 11, 2014 (10:59): Indeed; same here. From (kentn) Kent Nassen #13 of 16 in item 347 at Sun, May 11, 2014 (11:17): Definitely. Thanks to Dan for getting us all conlected. Thanks to everyone for attending and participating. It was good to meet all of you. From (tod) Novichok #14 of 16 in item 347 at Mon, May 12, 2014 (02:58): Next time, I shall use a tablet instead of the phone. The battery died just as the meeting adjourned. Worked great, though! From (denise) Denise #15 of 16 in item 347 at Wed, May 14, 2014 (18:56): I'm glad all of you were able to have a productive meeting and it sounds like things will get back on track. Thanks in advance for everyone's hard work! From (cross) Dan Cross #16 of 16 in item 347 at Tue, Jun 24, 2014 (12:42): TS did send me minutes, but they were not appreciably different from resp:5, so let that stand as the formal record of minutes from the last meeting.
