(06/13 13:03:01) '''Marie Sutherland:''' Our new funders have a lot of inertia. It takes a lot longer to get anything done. There are meetings to arrange meetings to arrange meetings <br />
(06/13 13:03:21) '''Eleri:''' ahh, the machine <br />
(06/13 13:03:22) Vortmax chuckles <br />

(06/13 13:06:39) Vortmax laughs <br />
(06/13 13:06:46) '''Vortmax:''' I'm with Eleri on that one. <br />
(06/13 13:07:15) '''Eleri:''' So, we had a thought... <br />
(06/13 13:07:20) '''Tweek:''' well I managed to get hold of an old sql dump to use on a roll back, we're gonna loose about 3 weeks of stuff. <br />
(06/13 13:07:51) Vortmax grumbles about lost data thanks to stupid script kiddies <br />
(06/13 13:08:18) '''CAGrayWolf:''' Goona be costly to us because of all the Liaison stuff there. <br />
(06/13 13:08:43) '''Vortmax:''' Eleri, what was your thought you had? <br />
(06/13 13:08:43) '''Eleri:''' most of the logs are already on the DRCL site, right? <br />
(06/13 13:08:45) '''Tweek:''' yes I know, I am currently archoving topics to move over hopefully we wont loose much. <br />
(06/13 13:08:54) '''Vortmax:''' Yes, Eleri. <br />
(06/13 13:09:07) '''CAGrayWolf:''' OK, cool. Hope you succeed <br />
(06/13 13:09:18) '''Eleri:''' asking some fun questions of the DRC memebrs. <br />
(06/13 13:09:23) '''Michael Engberg:''' Afternoon Kodama <br />
(06/13 13:09:25) '''Vortmax:''' Oh yeah! <br />
(06/13 13:09:34) '''Tweek:''' in the mean time I can set up a temp forum for us to use on my test forums. <br />
(06/13 13:09:42) '''Eleri:''' more off the wall, non-restoration related things <br />
(06/13 13:09:54) '''Eleri:''' and posting them as sidebars of the DRCL site <br />
(06/13 13:10:07) '''Marie Sutherland:''' That would be nice, Eleri. <br />
(06/13 13:10:49) '''Eleri:''' I think it would help to demystify (ahem) you guys a little <br />
(06/13 13:11:09) '''CAGrayWolf:''' I have a question to ask. <br />
(06/13 13:12:02) '''CAGrayWolf:''' I have received several requests from out Spanish speaking community asking if the KI and Nexus can or ay least will be translated for Spanish. <br />
(06/13 13:12:47) '''Marie Sutherland:''' That might be a good question for Victor tomorrow. <br />
(06/13 13:13:12) '''CAGrayWolf:''' I did pronise I would bring it up in the TH meeting as well. <br />
(06/13 13:13:19) '''Vortmax:''' Speaking of TH meetings, do you know of a good time to reschedule the one we missed? <br />
(06/13 13:13:38) '''Eleri:''' or maybe do them both tomorrow? <br />
(06/13 13:13:39) '''From Ivan in DRC (35) Neighborhood:''' Can you tell me where the DRC members are? <br />
(06/13 13:13:45) '''Vortmax:''' Yeah, what Eleri said <br />
(06/13 13:14:00) '''To Ivan in DRC (35) Neighborhood:''' We are all busy in a meeting at the moment. <br />
(06/13 13:14:12) '''From Ivan in DRC (35) Neighborhood:''' Private? <br />
(06/13 13:14:12) '''Marie Sutherland:''' No, I'd rather it be rescheduled for a separate date. <br />
(06/13 13:14:45) '''To Ivan in DRC (35) Neighborhood:''' Yes, will post chat log latter. <br />
(06/13 13:15:02) '''Eleri:''' *nod* might be overwhelming to do both <br />
(06/13 13:15:30) '''CAGrayWolf:''' Agreed <br />
(06/13 13:15:41) '''Eleri:''' when would be good for you guys? <br />
(06/13 13:18:04) '''Dr. Kodama:''' Is there any business we need to discuss here? <br />
(06/13 13:18:30) '''Eleri:''' hmm, other than checking in, rescheduling that meeting... is there anything new you guys need us to be doing? <br />
(06/13 13:18:46) '''Eleri:''' now that someone opened the pursestrings? <br />
(06/13 13:19:09) '''Dr. Kodama:''' Keep your fingers crossed. <br />
(06/13 13:19:23) '''CAGrayWolf:''' How do you all feel we are doing with the TH meetings and keeping the Explorers informed? <br />
(06/13 13:19:33) '''Marie Sutherland:''' let's tentatively set it for 6/20 <br />
(06/13 13:19:34) '''Dr. Kodama:''' And keep hope alive <br />
(06/13 13:19:43) '''Michael Engberg:''' Great <br />
(06/13 13:19:45) '''Vortmax:''' And, can we get a bit more detail on what you've been doing on the Restoration, other than meetings? <br />
(06/13 13:19:56) '''Tweek:''' any new KI images of places being planned on being released to spread interest to new explorers? <br />
(06/13 13:20:08) '''Dr. Kodama:''' Not that I'm aware of - not yet. <br />
(06/13 13:20:11) '''Vortmax:''' Heh, now we're all flooding with questions... <br />
(06/13 13:20:33) '''Dr. Kodama:''' New Ages are still in early stages - fairly dangerous <br />
(06/13 13:21:06) '''Michael Engberg:''' We need to start small.. because we are small. <br />
(06/13 13:21:09) '''CAGrayWolf:''' Cool ... still would be nice to have a small glimpse though. Help keep interest, you know. <br />
(06/13 13:21:23) '''Eleri:''' voracious explorers <br />
(06/13 13:21:27) '''Eleri:''' rarr <br />
(06/13 13:21:29) '''Vortmax:''' Have you hired any new ResEngs to help out? <br />
(06/13 13:21:37) '''Michael Engberg:''' A glimpse of something new?? <br />
(06/13 13:21:45) '''Dr. Kodama:''' No, as Engberg just said, we are small...still... <br />
(06/13 13:21:55) '''CAGrayWolf:''' or even current ... like a small teaser. <br />
(06/13 13:22:09) '''Eleri:''' some people have asked about volunteer resengs <br />
(06/13 13:22:16) '''Vortmax:''' You wouldn't believe the excitement that one shot of Eder Delin caused. Well, perhaps you would. <br />
(06/13 13:22:38) '''Dr. Kodama:''' WeWhen we have something worth showing, I'm sure we will. <br />
(06/13 13:22:42) '''CAGrayWolf:''' Agreed, they are still talking about that one shot. <br />
(06/13 13:23:11) '''Marie Sutherland:''' Yes, we understand. <br />
(06/13 13:23:50) '''Michael Engberg:''' I agree with Kodama.. it would be silly to show the same ole thing over again. <br />
(06/13 13:24:08) '''Dr. Kodama:''' In the end, the sneak peeks are not going to appease anyone for the long haul. We are trying to get Ages ready. <br />
(06/13 13:24:21) '''CAGrayWolf:''' Understood <br />
(06/13 13:24:33) '''Eleri:''' Just knowing you guys are up to something is worth knowing <br />
(06/13 13:24:41) '''Michael Engberg:''' Reminds me I need to get a ResEng on the DRCsite <br />
(06/13 13:24:41) '''Dr. Kodama:''' We are up to something. : ) <br />
(06/13 13:24:55) '''Dr. Kodama:''' You can know that. <br />
(06/13 13:25:03) '''CAGrayWolf:''' And I would personally rather have you all working on the new areas and Ages. <br />
(06/13 13:25:03) '''Eleri:''' *chuckle* <br />
(06/13 13:25:15) '''CAGrayWolf:''' oooooooooooo ... a teaser, we get. <br />
(06/13 13:25:25) '''Vortmax:''' Is there any chance we can meet with you on a more regular basis, such as once a month? <br />
(06/13 13:25:40) '''Dr. Kodama:''' I'm sure there is a chance. <br />
(06/13 13:25:50) '''Dr. Kodama:''' What percentage are you looking for? <br />
(06/13 13:25:58) '''Vortmax:''' Heh, let me rephrase that: Is there a good chance?? Greater than, say, 80%? <br />
(06/13 13:26:01) Eleri starts to laugh <br />
(06/13 13:26:11) '''Marie Sutherland:''' I'd rather meet as necessary, rather than on a set schedule. <br />
(06/13 13:26:29) '''CAGrayWolf:''' Well, basically ... we are already meeting once a month. <br />
(06/13 13:26:40) '''Dr. Kodama:''' Right, as necessary. I agree with Marie. <br />
(06/13 13:26:53) '''Marie Sutherland:''' True, we have. <br />
(06/13 13:26:59) '''Eleri:''' as far as the THs.. does the lecture-followed by questions format work for you? <br />
(06/13 13:27:28) '''Marie Sutherland:''' As far as I know, yes. That has worked well for everyone on the DRC and at Cyan. <br />
(06/13 13:28:03) '''CAGrayWolf:''' Very cool. Glad we were able to get this together as we have. <br />
(06/13 13:28:18) '''Marie Sutherland: '''<br />
(06/13 13:28:37) '''Vortmax:''' Okay, one thing I promised I'd ask for an explorer: Are people who helped Sharper go around the DRC, like Nick White, still working for you? If so, why? <br />
(06/13 13:29:15) '''Dr. Kodama:''' Nick helps where he can. <br />
(06/13 13:29:27) '''Dr. Kodama:''' Is there any reason he shouldn't? <br />
(06/13 13:29:39) '''Michael Engberg:''' Why not?? Exactly, we need all the help we can get. <br />
(06/13 13:29:58) '''Vortmax:''' I think it was that explorer's opinion that he'd kind of "betrayed" you or something. I just promised to ask, and I got an anser <br />
(06/13 13:30:00) '''Vortmax:''' *answer <br />
(06/13 13:30:26) '''CAGrayWolf:''' Personally, I thought Nick was more mislead by Sharper than did he actually knowingly wen behind the backs of the DRC. <br />
(06/13 13:30:49) '''Dr. Kodama:''' Alright, is that all then? <br />
(06/13 13:30:57) '''Vortmax:''' I'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter much now. Things have changed so much since then. <br />
(06/13 13:31:13) '''Vortmax:''' I believe so. <br />
(06/13 13:31:28) '''Marie Sutherland:''' Yes. Many things have changed. <br />
(06/13 13:31:30) '''Eleri:''' I'm all good <br />
(06/13 13:31:38) '''Vortmax:''' Anything else you'd like to tell us? <br />
(06/13 13:31:46) '''Dr. Kodama:''' Good job everyone. We'll talk to you soon. I need to be heading out. <br />
(06/13 13:31:53) '''CAGrayWolf:''' Oh, there are several lights that have been burned out for almost 3 years here in the hood that really should be replaced. <br />
(06/13 13:32:02) '''Vortmax:''' Oh, and please thank Dr. Laxman for working on the Lattice for us! Things seem to be much improved. <br />
(06/13 13:32:02) '''Eleri:''' LOL <br />
(06/13 13:32:03) Marie Sutherland laughs <br />
(06/13 13:32:08) Vortmax laughs <br />
(06/13 13:32:31) '''Dr. Kodama:''' it takes a lot of DRC members to change a lightbulb <br />
(06/13 13:32:37) '''Eleri:''' one last thing lo lead off the fun questions... Favorite pizza toppings? <br />
(06/13 13:32:38) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh <br />
