Administrivia:
        dove: I'm going to send the letter about Tidbit at the end of the
		meeting if nobody has any objections; I already sent the letter to
		Hal. We're meeting with John Charles at the end of the week.
        glasgall: We should clean the office; along those lines, throw out your
		trash.

        glasgall: The Athena DEFCON sign is blocking on finding a replacement
		for one of the parts that's backordered on Digikey.

        glasgall: We should have a new Code of Conduct draft out tomorrow.

        dove: We moved lola (it's now turned around) so that you can use it with
		the projector more easily.
        achernya: We had a really awesome hackjob for watching the Olympics. It
		only required three office heads!
        dove: Someone should write a script for forwarding PulseAudio to zsr so
		we can use it.


SIPB Projects Report:
        achernya: On Saturday davidben and I decided to start working on the new
		Roost backend; David was working on a pure Go implementation of zephyr,
		and I was working on a pure Go implementation of Hesiod.

        dove: We had a productive conversation about Roost frontend design; I
		think thenext step is actually writing the code to make it happen.

        glasgall: xvm ordered new RAID. Once it's hooked up, we'll be able to
		attempt upgrading firmware in the hopes that i'll make it not crashy.
        achernya: Unlike the current RAIDs we have which are proprietary blobs,
		this will be a proper Linux server with libdisk.

        achernya: Scripts hackathon this Saturday.

        asedeno: git 1.9.0 came out last week, and got put in the locker.

New Prospective Introductions:
        zoz: I'm zoz, I've been a prospective since 98. I designed punched card
		replica invitations to the SIPB reunion, I ran www.mit.edu until IS&T
		asked us for it. I wrote the Ask SIPB DMCA takedown column.
        iannucci: Would it be out of bounds for me to nominate you?
        dove: Second.
        zoz: I accept the nomination.
        [Nomination passes.]
        zoz: I did get nominated once before, and they said I hadn't been to
		enough meetings. They didn't look back far enough.


Other:
        glasgall: If you have one of the new thinkpads without physical buttons
		for the trackpoint, you might be interested in tpscrolld, which makes
		physical scrolling work. It's on my github.

        tboning: Apple released a critical iOS security patch; they weren't
		handling SSL certificate verification properly. If you have an iOS
		device, upgrade it now. OS X is also affected, but there is no patch.
        achernya: We have a SIPB member who works at Apple; when 10.9 came out,
		he said not to upgrade and wait to 10.9.1.

        glasgall: The next Ubuntu LTS, Trusty Tahr, is in feature freeze. At
		some point, there will be a Debathena Trusty release. Also, Ubuntu has
		announced they'll be switching to systemd.

Other Other:
        zoz: I'm zoz, I've been a prospective since 98. I designed punched card
		replica invitations to the SIPB reunion, I ran www.mit.edu

        achernya: Previous Debathena builds all had a SVN repo; we'd check it
		out and run this scary script that would run scarier scripts that would
		munge build scripts. It made builds unreproducable. A couple months ago
		we decided to migrate Debathena into git, so I did a full migration
		while sharding it into separate git repos. vasilvv have been converting
		things into git build package format. We're almost at the point where we
		can build the entire Debathena repo; vasilvv worked on the build scripts
		more.

        glasgall: The Linux container tools hit 1.0 this past week.

The meeting was adjourned at 19:51.
