Scottyg says, "Ack. I got an error when I processed that membership and I thought it didn't take so I did it again." kokhmmm says, "Greeetings Ben" kokhmmm says, "Gretings Bryce" lesausl says, "Hi Peter!" Lunadyne says, "Hey Everyone!" Lunadyne says, "Roll Call!"

My wife and i went skiing last week and she broke her leg." Lunadyne says, "Looks like we've got enough folks to make decisions. " Lunadyne says, "Yikes!" Scottyg says, "So I'm having to do all the household chores while still trying to do my job." bnault says, "a note to the meeting chair: I travel tomorrow, so I will need to leave the meeting a bit early. If votes need to be taken, please schedule them early." Lunadyne says, "I'm a single guy. I've been doing that for decades." The housekeeper arrives to cart alanzaldua off to bed. Scottyg says, "So my ability to do Moon Society stuff is rather impaired at the moment." bnault says, "Sorry to hear that Scotty..." lesausl says, "Sorry for your wife Scotty!" Scottyg says, "Like I'm cooking supper right now!" lesausl says, "U the MAN!!" Lunadyne says, "I hope she gets well soon. My reccomendation for rehab is swimming." kokhmmm says, "I used to skin a lot in my early 20s - but never since then" Lunadyne says, "Ditto" Scottyg says, "Well, at 66 I still ski, but not nearly as aggressively as when my bones were less brittle." kokhmmm says, "Water sking is booooooring compared to downhill on snow in the mountains" Lunadyne says, "Our top priority at the moment is getting our 501c3 obligations squared away." bnault has disconnected. lesausl has disconnected. pjbanyai has disconnected. Scottyg has disconnected. kokhmmm has disconnected. ronb22 has disconnected. Lunadyne has disconnected. Strangelv-2 has disconnected.

The housekeeper arrives to cart lesausl off to bed. The housekeeper arrives to cart Scottyg off to bed. The housekeeper arrives to cart dcarson off to bed. pjbanyai says, "i just checked the recorder it last recorded the following. Lunadyne says, "Our top priority at the moment is getting our 501c3 obligations squared away."" kokhmmm says, "we were on th darkside" alanzaldua has arrived. Scottyg has arrived. Lunadyne says, "That's not good. It missed most of the meeting." alanzaldua says, "Hey, guys, I just got disconnected again." kokhmmm says, "we were on the darkside" alanzaldua says, "Creepy." alanzaldua says, "Second time tonight. " Lunadyne says, "Our EML2 link was severed." Scottyg says, "In case some of you are not aware of the situation, the server hosting moonsociety.org is having hardware problems and is periodically rebooting." dcarson has arrived. ronb22 says, "What is going on ???? Are we in the leadership room or in the twilight zone?" dcarson says, "got disconnected" dcarson says, "leadrship room" alanzaldua says, "So it happened to all of us?" Scottyg says, "Randall tells me that a replacement server is in the works but not quite ready yet." Lunadyne says, "Is it hitting NSS as well?" Scottyg says, "Yes Ken. Its a hardware problem - the hard drive or controller IIRC>" dcarson says, "they are on the same server I think so yes" alanzaldua says, "Where were we in our meeting?" Scottyg says, "Another thing that's been getting in the way of me getting anything done for Moon Society is the server keeps going down." kokhmmm says, "talking about our ISDC track on the Econosphere" pjbanyai says, "Cause of crash must have started fairly early. NSS Moo is the same moo server/database with different access points and users." Scottyg says, "Peter, the mmm index page should be working now if you want to try uploading MMM#252" Lunadyne says, "We were discussing the recent Space.com article on EML2." kokhmmm says, "Cislunar Econospheere" kokhmmm says, "Right now it is geting close to the CisBedtime Snoozosphere" Lunadyne says, "lol" Scottyg says, "I think that's actually the HisBedTime Snoozosphere." alanzaldua says, "well, I was about to say that both L1 and L2 would be important for CisLunar Econosphere for different reasons, but it is getting late. " pjbanyai says, "I assume that since Pair still hosts our domain names that we may still be able to setup backup server for webhosting with Pair." Lunadyne says, "The only other real business I had to bring up would be to poll the leadership to see what people think about TMS underwriting half/all of the cost (~$500) for this year's Lunar Sample Bags at Moon Day." dcarson says, "half I'd sat" dcarson says, "day" dcarson bangs gead on table Lunadyne says, "LMFAO" Scottyg says, "BTw guys, the Moon Society mail list is also handled by the same server so it doesn't accomplish much to send emails about the server being down to the mail list." Lunadyne says, "Thought I sent it direct." Scottyg says, "Oh - yeah, yours and Ben's were sent direct." Scottyg says, "Pauls about it being back up was sent to the list." pjbanyai says, "I set up moonsociety.info mailing list thru Google." pjbanyai says, "management_committee@moonsociety.info" lesausl has arrived. Lunadyne says, "Hey Bryce" lesausl says, "Hi again. " lesausl says, "What I miss?" lesausl says, "Anyone" Lunadyne says, "I suggested TMS spend some money on Lunar Sample Bags." pjbanyai says, "Although, I am still trying to work out setting everything up and working out possible bugs." Lunadyne says, "Scotty can tell everyone how the kids enjoyed them at last year's Moon Day." Lunadyne says, "They would have our name and website." lesausl says, "'Lunar Sample Bags' You mean like a give-away thinfg or the real thing for display or. . . ?" kokhmmm says, "What was in the sample bags last year?" Lunadyne says, "They're messenger bags that come with goodies and allows the kids to grab stuff at all the displays and carry it home." lesausl says, "I see. Thanks." Lunadyne says, "Last year had SpinOffs, manga books, Make Magazine, stickers from NLSI, all kinds of stuff." kokhmmm says, "I have as suggestion: something bout the Google Lunar X-Prize teams" Lunadyne says, "GLXP usually sends us stuff for the LSBs." Lunadyne says, "I know Amanda Stiles there." kokhmmm says, "If you could get Bigelow to send his very big table top moonbase with Bigelo inflatable modules ---" Lunadyne says, "I have a model that's similar. Needs a bit of repair work, though." kokhmmm says, "Ken where you at ISDC in Chicago 2010?" Lunadyne says, "Yes." kokhmmm says, "Would be nice to let you have mt big moonbase but getting it to Dallas and back would be a problem" Lunadyne says, "Agreed, and I'm not in favor of having TMS cover shipping. Sets a bad precedent." Lunadyne says, "Would like to have it in DC, though." Lunadyne says, "Bryce, did you get the new paper?" kokhmmm says, "Agreed. I won't be going, and Dave won't have room." lesausl says, "Yes. And thank you." Lunadyne says, "I keep massaging it, but hope to send it to Jeff Foust tonite." lesausl says, "Good luck. i have not yet reviewed it of course. i am assuming it came through ok." pjbanyai says, "David Stuart asked on the Town Hall Invitation/RSVP page "Is the Moon Society joining in on the Space Legislative Blitz on Feb 28 in DC? This is being done by a number of Space groups and orgs as a joint effort and has meetings scheduled with over 70 offices of Senators and Reps."" kokhmmm says, "I had a sleepless night last night and am dozing off now." Lunadyne says, "I don't know of anyone that's going to be there." kokhmmm says, "We have never participated in that - it would be up to individuals who wanted to go. " lesausl says, "We only have @ 15 min. to closing time. " pjbanyai says, "I assume we will have some presence in the blitz by NSS proxy." Lunadyne says, "I'd rather we stayed apolitical." Lunadyne says, "Any other business we need to address?" pjbanyai says, "I think that part of our agreement with NSS mentioned something about political support." Lunadyne says, "They probably could use a position paper." ronb22 says, "I would like to bring forward to the group that I am presently acting as Editor-in -Chief with Spring Pub. in writing a Lunar Science Encyclopedia. It will be the most significant publication to date in the Lunar Science field. I would like to describe what we are doing - but I can do that at a later date. " Lunadyne says, "No, sounds interesting." Lunadyne says, "You've certainly got your work cut out for you. The Lunar Sourcebook is practically canon." kokhmmm says, "Springer publioshing" Lunadyne says, "Through PRaxis?" ronb22 says, "say the Lunar Source Book is a handbook not an encyclopedia. It will two volumes (1,000+ pages)invovling researchers from around the world." lesausl says, "Ron, would it include things like lunar-based astronomy or is it restricted to science OF the Moon eclusively? " pjbanyai says, "from nss_affiliation_proposal.html under Policy Statements and Position Papers--We would like to be invited to have input (not necessarily a vote) on a regular basis in the formulation of new NSS position papers where the subject matter is of direct interest to us. We will then cosign any new position papers whose final version we can live with. The effect of this is to get across to the public, and Congress, that we have our act together." ronb22 says, "It will be tertiary established literature - science of the moon." Lunadyne says, "Anyone feel like being a political liaison?" lesausl says, "Ok." Lunadyne says, "You got it." Lunadyne says, "And we've reached our alloted time. Motion for adjournment?" dcarson says, "so moved" lesausl says, "Ken. Who is 'you'?" Lunadyne says, "In favor" Lunadyne says, "Aye" alanzaldua says, "aye" ronb22 says, "Aye" dcarson says, "aye" lesausl says, "Aye" pjbanyai says, "aye" lesausl says, "Ken . . .?" Lunadyne says, "You is you lesausl. (Where does that come from?)" lesausl says, "LESA=Lunar Exploration & Settlemebnt Advocate" Scottyg says, "aye" lesausl says, "USL = Union of Solar Legions. from an old on-libne sopace gmae I played in ancient times." alanzaldua says, "Good night, folks. " alanzaldua says, "@quit" lesausl says, "What am I being asked to do as a pPL?" lesausl says, "we should talk. . ." pjbanyai says, "I believe Dave Dunlop is the Liason Coordinator or Liaison Director." ronb22 says, "Goodnight" ronb22 has disconnected. lesausl has disconnected. Lunadyne says, "We've been taking advantage of him being on the BoD." alanzaldua says, "@quit" alanzaldua has disconnected. -- End log: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 11:02:31 pm ASI Meeting Server time --
