I liked your experience, what you wrote and think you’ve been doing a great job so far 21[2019-04-02 20:36:07] <@Owlhawk> Used that, going to add some more when I rack just incase I'm misremembering. 21[2019-04-02 20:36:44] <@Owlhawk> I'm thinking that I 'm going to need to filter via my minipump 16[2019-04-02 20:36:46]  Wow!

The herbal ingredients make me thing twice... 21[2019-04-02 20:39:24] <@Owlhawk> I need to deliver before the Solstice. 21[2019-04-02 20:39:37] <@Owlhawk> I'm thinking filtering is likely. 21[2019-04-02 20:39:58] <@Owlhawk> thing = think 21[2019-04-02 20:40:06] <@Owlhawk> oh, and BLUSH!!!! 18[2019-04-02 20:41:28]  StarQuake, if you ever have any questions ADF related, please do ask. Either myself, or Rovena and Owlhawk 21[2019-04-02 20:42:01] <@Owlhawk> just expect a small measure of delay if it's asked outside of chat! 16[2019-04-02 20:47:55]  So I hope the weather is improving for everyone 16[2019-04-02 20:47:59]  Drum, will do. I’ve been doing a lot of digging through the site so all my questions are answered 😀 16[2019-04-02 20:48:06]  we had snow on Sunday :( 21[2019-04-02 20:48:12] <@Owlhawk> We had snow most of the day 16[2019-04-02 20:48:25]  The website will be getting easier to use, but I am glad to hear it! 21[2019-04-02 20:48:26] <@Owlhawk> ANd yesterday,and sunday... 16[2019-04-02 20:48:39]  snow - 4 letter word 16[2019-04-02 20:49:02] <@Rovena> Very true 21[2019-04-02 20:49:12] <@Owlhawk> Yeah, the website is really awesome if you can understand the answers it gives, and it has improved ithe last year or two 21[2019-04-02 20:49:45] <@Owlhawk> yes it does. Happily we didn't get more the 6 or 8 feet of snow at a time before a melt this year 16[2019-04-02 20:49:46]  Drum, yes, it does need some work but I think it just needs to be organized better and a beginner’s guide which I think Victoria is thinking about adding later down the road 16[2019-04-02 20:50:42] <@Rovena> The addition of the ability to page a bad page directly from the page will help catch problems 16[2019-04-02 20:50:59] <@Rovena> report a bad page 16[2019-04-02 20:51:10]  But in all fairness it took me quite some time to figure out my path in ADF so it’s not just the website. And for new members that’s quite a bit to figure out 21[2019-04-02 20:51:51] <@Owlhawk> that is one of the reasons that this chat exists 16[2019-04-02 20:53:06]  Right 16[2019-04-02 20:53:28]  Victoria is *amazing* 16[2019-04-02 20:54:00] <@Rovena> Yes, she is. 16[2019-04-02 20:54:07]  Yes she is doing a great job 16[2019-04-02 20:56:48]  Her work with creating guides will make the website so much easier to use. 16[2019-04-02 20:56:58]  Oh yes! 16[2019-04-02 20:58:08]  And they are also working on making voting easier so the EO will have a much easier time getting people to vote 16[2019-04-02 20:59:46] <@Rovena> Part of the low voting level is Soltaries who don't feel they know the candidates well enough to make a choice. 16[2019-04-02 20:59:47]  Rovena ty for you help as EO, I know it has not been easy 16[2019-04-02 21:00:19] <@Rovena> I have a lot of help. Most of the people are very nice about stuff. 16[2019-04-02 21:01:13] <@Rovena> After the eletion, Bonnie and I are going to work on guidleines to help future EOs understand what to do and how to do it. 16[2019-04-02 21:01:34] <@Rovena> Boy, I need to practice my typing skills 21[2019-04-02 21:02:21] <@Owlhawk> that's a great idea Rovena 16[2019-04-02 21:02:30]  The Mother Grove is also going to discuss a way to offer a "election guide" along with questions that come from the election staff and not private members 16[2019-04-02 21:03:21] <@Rovena> I know that some people submitted their bio statement to Facebook and didn't realize that it was shared with me. 16[2019-04-02 21:03:28] <@Rovena> wasn't 16[2019-04-02 21:03:55]  Well, we are going to tighten things up next time so that things are part of a process 16[2019-04-02 21:04:20]  There is a little too much unofficial that can seem confusing 25[2019-04-02 21:04:56] * NathanLarge (NathanLarge@sorcery-j83dm6.res.rr.com) joins #ADF 16[2019-04-02 21:05:04] <@Rovena> Hello Nathan 27[2019-04-02 21:05:05] * NathanLarge (NathanLarge@sorcery-j83dm6.res.rr.com) has quit IRC (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client) 16[2019-04-02 21:05:10] <@Rovena> How are you tonight? 16[2019-04-02 21:05:11]  Any waym thank you Rovena 25[2019-04-02 21:05:13] * NathanLarge (NathanLarge@sorcery-j83dm6.res.rr.com) joins #ADF 21[2019-04-02 21:05:18] <@Owlhawk> create a downloadable file that members can get 16[2019-04-02 21:05:20] <@Rovena> WB 16[2019-04-02 21:05:30]  Think I've got it sorted this time. 16[2019-04-02 21:05:38]  Hello hello 16[2019-04-02 21:05:40]  Welcome! 16[2019-04-02 21:05:55] <@Rovena> Just when I think that, them move the borders 16[2019-04-02 21:06:25]  It's a continuous process. 16[2019-04-02 21:06:25]  A guide for the elections would be great. I think Erin Fallath got the short end of the stick. Her video didn’t link with what was posted on the site. The info was consistent but anyone who just read the candidate statements missed that 16[2019-04-02 21:06:41]  Hello NathanLarge 16[2019-04-02 21:07:19] <@Rovena> Part of the problem is not everyone has access to the same technology 21[2019-04-02 21:07:55] <@Owlhawk> well, I think her opponent, Sarah, blew her chances with her post on one of the facebook pages about checks for all members. 16[2019-04-02 21:08:15]  True, Rovena 21[2019-04-02 21:08:18] <@Owlhawk> or the same speeds and access Rovena 16[2019-04-02 21:08:33]  That and it’s just growing pains with the organization and the sheer amount of data we all share. 16[2019-04-02 21:08:49] <@Rovena> True Star 16[2019-04-02 21:11:30]  Don’t get me wrong it’s great to see all that info but we are just at the point we have to get organized. It’s like the library not having the Dewey decimal system. For members who have been around a while they just know but new members will probably get lost 16[2019-04-02 21:13:28] <@Rovena> It helps if someone teaches you how the Dewey decimal works. Trial and error will get you there but it takes time 21[2019-04-02 21:13:58] <@Owlhawk> the one thing I've been glad to see this election is requests from the membership to see question and answer sessions with the candidates. I think that's the single largest movement forward this election cycle 16[2019-04-02 21:15:06]  That’s very true. But surprisingly it is a good thing, it means the organization is growing. The best way to tell if an organization is doing well or not is if there are new members coming in. 16[2019-04-02 21:15:20] <@Rovena> Problem is trying to find a time when all the candidates are available 16[2019-04-02 21:15:54] <@Rovena> Maybe doing it by office so there are fewer peole to coordinate with might get better times 16[2019-04-02 21:16:00]  My proposal is to make this a part of the election cycle next year as opposed to just ad hoc 21[2019-04-02 21:16:07] <@Owlhawk> uhm....I thought I suggested in my wrinting that it was a good thing 21[2019-04-02 21:17:20] <@Owlhawk> Drum, I would love to see it organized formally as you are suggesting. I do think that it had to happen this way first, so that your suggestion would become workable 16[2019-04-02 21:17:31]  :) 16[2019-04-02 21:17:39]  We are getting there :) 16[2019-04-02 21:17:50]  How does the phrase go, let them think it was all their idea? ;) 21[2019-04-02 21:17:56] <@Owlhawk> as quickly as a growing Oak 27[2019-04-02 21:18:05] * StarQuake (Sol@sorcery-0jrli3.at.cox.net) has quit IRC (Connection closed) 16[2019-04-02 21:18:23]  Zoom has made access SO much easier 21[2019-04-02 21:18:58] <@Owlhawk> major difference, especially with Rob using his license for ADF election discussion and meetings 21[2019-04-02 21:19:14] <@Owlhawk> O 16[2019-04-02 21:19:27]  It is a good idea.
