  • Josh N: Send Jim e-mail about SEDS decision on Space Ref offer
[18:01] Jedi8798: calling the meeting to order...
[18:01] Jedi8798: only one item today, the Space Ref offer
[18:01] KellyMann10: has joined the chat
[18:01] Jedi8798: Opinions on the Space Ref offer?
[18:02] rmmlg08: I hardly see how this is an "amazing offer"
[18:02] rmmlg08: as the title of the email would imply
[18:02] rmmlg08: and if we were in a position to spend 1200 a year on a website ad, we wouldn't need an endowment fund
[18:03] Jedi8798: yeah.
[18:03] KellyMann10: i think its too much for what we would get out of it
[18:03] nyeerrmm: i'd agree
[18:04] rmmlg08: well that was easy
[18:04] Jedi8798: All in favor of accepting the offer of advertising space for $100 a month. (Aye/Nay/Abstain)
[18:04] Jedi8798: Nay
[18:04] nyeerrmm: nay
[18:04] KellyMann10: nay
[18:04] rmmlg08: nay
[18:04] rmmlg08: holy crap kids, we just voted no to something successfully
[18:04] hydrogenlithium: has joined the chat
[18:04] KellyMann10: hahaha
[18:05] KellyMann10: is this the first time?
[18:05] rmmlg08: that I can remember
[18:05] Jedi8798: motion fails. 0-4-1
[18:05] rmmlg08: (may have happened beforeand I just forgot)
[18:05] nyeerrmm: of course, could have just rephrased it to make it a yes
[18:05] Jedi8798: No, it hasnt happened before
[18:05] Jedi8798: I'll send Jim an email explaining.
[18:05] nyeerrmm: and coc did once for raising dues
[18:05] rmmlg08: true
[18:05] KellyMann10: oh ok
[18:05] Jedi8798: Any other items for the night? I have none on my docket.
[18:06] rmmlg08: brian, any conf updates?
[18:06] nyeerrmm: hurricane this weekend, didnt get much done, should have registration up by the end of the week
[18:07] rmmlg08: think I'm going to book flights soon before the already high rates get even more ridiculous
[18:07] Jedi8798: luckily UASEDS will likely be driving
[18:07] Jedi8798: given a large percentage of the membership wants to go
[18:07] rmmlg08: fyi to others, looks like flying into houston and shuttle to college station is the way to go
[18:07] Jedi8798: as to how many will actually go
[18:08] Jedi8798: *shrugs*
[18:08] nyeerrmm: its a fun drive through lots of desert
[18:08] rmmlg08: unforunately, I don't think I'll get there until around noon on fri
[18:08] nyeerrmm: but speed limits 85 in west texas
[18:08] Jedi8798: 85 in a HOV..
[18:08] Jedi8798: that would be interesting...
[18:08] Jedi8798: I think I'll stick with the vehicles limits of 70 something
[18:09] nyeerrmm: my one concern with taking the shuttle in is you have to get one of the few cabs to get to a hotel near campus, which aren't necessarily that close
[18:09] Jedi8798: With no further items, I adjourn the meeting. Shortest Exec meeting on record I believe
