09:00:02 ajolma: Is the board meeting at 17 UTC ( as on the wiki ) or 20 UTC ( as in Paul's email )? I changed the link on wiki to 17 UTC but I fear 20 UTC is correct...
09:21:25 pramsey: ajolma: 2.5 hours hence
09:22:19 FrankW: Doh, I wrote the wrong thing in the main board wiki page I see.
09:22:34 pramsey: so everyone is online now?
09:23:22 FrankW: I doubt it ... I think most people are working from the email.
09:23:43 pramsey: OK. We'll X our fingers and hope so, gotta get quorum.
09:23:57 FrankW: A reminder email right now might not hurt.
09:28:01 FrankW: Boy, does it ever annoy me that FOSS4G budgets are confidential.
09:29:44 FrankW: I'm off to get some outside work done on this beautiful day before the meeting...
11:42:50 spatialguru: ajolma1: will you be attending the meeting via skype?
11:46:16 ajolma1: spatialguru: yes, if my network connection works ( i've been having short breaks lately )
11:46:37 spatialguru: want me to patch you in via phone?
11:47:34 spatialguru: seven: will you be online via skype?
11:48:14 ajolma1: spatialguru: no
11:51:30 FrankW: I should be online via skype now TylerM.
11:52:32 TylerM: frankw: can't see you yet, can you check your status?
11:52:39 TylerM: markusN: hi - will you join skype?
11:55:53 markusN: I'm afraid yes : )
11:56:01 TylerM: great : )
11:56:05 FrankW: I'm having trouble finding the budget document. I don't see any board-priv email in my inbox or archive.
11:56:36 : * FrankW suspects this demonstrates his inadequate level of pre-meeting review.
11:56:46 ajolma1: it's from Paul at 18th
11:57:00 markusN: seven not yet in skype?
11:57:24 FrankW: found it.

12:46:07 crschmidt: and 216000 x 108000

15:59:12 : <__marius__> does anyone know about schemes to construct strings from geometries that relate lexical ordering to geographic nearness?
