(assuming that irl is okay with that?) 14:46:09 <gaba> but you can run it too. Otherwise I get the log for the retrospective. 14:46:17 <gaba> yes 14:46:17 <karsten> ah, that works, too. 14:46:21 <gaba> ok 14:46:34 <ahf> if there's something you'd like the script to do, please let me know. right now it's very much geared towards the network-team, but could be made to handle things for other teams :-) 14:46:40 <irl> i would like to have the log of what i've been statusing 14:46:44 <irl> i wonder how often i do it 14:47:00 <karsten> thanks, ahf! 14:47:38 <karsten> I don't need the log during the month. I'd appreciate having it when the next month begins, as input for the monthly report. 14:47:44 <karsten> and for the retrospective. 14:48:13 <karsten> and it'd be good to know that somebody is logging these messages. makes much more sense for me to write them. 14:48:28 <gaba> ok. irl, I can send you the log now so you have an idea but I share it for the retrospective. 14:49:12 <karsten> gaba: can you share it shortly before the actual retrospective? 14:49:41 <irl> sounds good 14:49:43 <gaba> yes 14:49:48 <karsten> awesome! 14:50:30 <karsten> okay, I think we ran out of topics. 14:50:33 <karsten> anything else? 14:50:35 <irl> as gaba is here 14:50:39 <irl> task 10c? 14:51:25 <gaba> I will check today with other people in the network-team to see if soembody can take it. 14:51:31 <irl> awesome thanks 14:51:39 <irl> i can go over it and review it, or even flesh out an outline 14:51:49 <irl> but i'm not sure where to start 14:51:53 <gaba> do you have a draft somewehre already or outline? 14:51:59 <irl> not for 10c 14:52:03 <gaba> ok 14:52:03 <irl> i've done 10a and 10b though 14:52:13 <gaba> whoever take it can talk with you then 14:52:14 <irl> 11a-c are also on track for completion today 14:52:30 <irl> i won't be around this evening 14:52:52 <irl> i've been doing too many evenings this week 14:53:06 <irl> i'll send you a summary and some thoughts to share though? 14:53:08 <gaba> ok, can you just write down your thoughts on it? 14:53:10 <gaba> yes 14:53:12 <gaba> that^ 14:53:12 <irl> ok cool (: 14:53:32 <irl> i'm out of topics now 14:53:38 <karsten> me too. 14:54:06 <karsten> alright, thanks, irl and gaba! 14:54:10 <karsten> bye! :) 14:54:13 <irl> bye! 14:54:18 <karsten> #endmeeting
