We should probably get some blog/microblog action going, it's been a while. Do we have anything to blog about? How's Twitter looking, @kzisme?
It has indeed - Not much happening lately just a few mentions here and there. Any suggested content? I know #441 has been quite busy other than that I'm not sure @whit537 .
I was really encouraged by the call with the OuiShare folks today (https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/314#issuecomment-170940592). It made me feel like we are on the right track going to OuiShare Fest, that these are Our People. Here's the part of the call where I really felt like that. You'll see I picked up on some of the language from this old lightening talk (from https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/314#issuecomment-168286422) about open companies, open non-profits, and open governments. I like that old lightening talk a lot, too. Reminds me about why I started Gittip in the first place and what makes me excited about it. I think I'll find a lot of like-minded people at OuiShare Fest.
Maybe we should publish a blog post going back to that old lightening talk and also picking up on some of the recent calls—Nathan (#399), Neal (#403), Janelle (https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/72#issuecomment-164018346), and now Taoufik and Francesca (https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/314#issuecomment-170940592). Would that be an interesting post, do you think?
The other big things I see that we could report on are HackerOne and then the accounting work (#308, etc.). HackerOne would be a pretty easy post, but probably filler from an interest point of view. The accounting stuff is boring but important, also likely low-traffic, maybe worth waiting on that one until we are further along with it.
some of the recent calls
Also James (https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/421#issuecomment-167798171).
I think tweeting as each of the new teams is approved would help us get some positive buzz.
Sounds good to me.
Inbox 16, GitHub 6, L2 Support 0, Vendors, etc. 0.
Gonna work down those queues while @kaguillera starts looking at the books for July 2012, and then jump on https://github.com/gratipay/finances/pull/1 ... hopefully we can land that today!
Support 0. I'm at least checking this every morning and trying to stay on top of it.
Looking to carve out time to review teams every day; things are still a little crazy around here.
!m @mattbk
P.S. @mattbk Is [COS]()'s work relevant to your day job at all? Are you aware of their preregistration challenge?
At the edges, yes. I'm trying to push openness at my job, especially of data and communication. The preregistration challenge is new to me; it wouldn't work necessarily for my job but it might work for other academic research I'm involved in (academia doesn't care whether you're paid for work or not).

Apparently neither do we. :disappointed:
But we shall!
I just really feel like we're doing one of the most interesting things on the planet right now. Interesting to me, anyways. :-)
WTF slipped this slide in there I love them?
It only gets better/worse. This could mean so many things. Well, two things, really.
Now you're just messing with me, E-E-E-Estonia.
P.S. Always with the snowflakes.
Me very soon (https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/438#issuecomment-171456227). Edward. Lucas Edward.
UPDATE: OR IS IT EDWARD LUCAS????
Is that SimCity? With snowflakes? With snowflakes.
How did I get here I didn't even try?
Like ... that's a custom illustration, right?
(2007)
I just did the very wrong thing, and bought that book ($38.01), to see if there's a note on where the painting is from. Don't tell @JessWhit.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand the music just ran out.
The snowflakes are stymied by raspberry-ish flowers, I note. Inflected, even.
Gosh. Who are you, wonderful Estonian who made this slide deck?
Ping @martinpaljak. Any chance you could help me/us track down the person who made this slide deck? I would like to snail-mail them a personal note of thanks. Thanks. :-)

In a sense, we all wear masks, don't we?
Alright, I think I'm slowing down.
:cocktail:
I just can't believe they passed up the chance at e-stonia.com.
You know what's kind of messed up? Pittsburgh metro has twice the population of Estonia.
Alright, that shiz is a pinned tab. Closing here before I do more damage. Peace, everyone.

Eep! :flushed:
OH: "We'll get a few anonymous parties to advertise the app on Reddit."
@hurlothrumbo's suspicions are confirmed.
GitHub 0! Moving on to https://github.com/gratipay/finances/pull/2.
What are you working on this week and why?
