[15:54] <schiste> hey Greeves :) [15:54] <Greeves> hey schiste [15:54] <Open_Research> thats a great idea [we're just chatting Greeeves]] [15:55] <Greeves> no meeting :( CPG seems to be dying [15:55] <Open_Research> to Christophe [work experience before MBA is very very good plan.] [15:55] <schiste> Yes, I think so too :) [15:55] <Open_Research> Lets try and revive it next week - it is hard for everyone to have energy after Taipei [15:56] <Platonides> er.. nothing [15:56] <Open_Research> and Sean is on holiday [15:56] <Open_Research> Isnt he? [15:56] <Open_Research> hello there! [15:56] <Greeves> I wonder where Sean is... [15:56] <Platonides> seanw is away: I am away until Tuesday 14th August. [15:56] <Greeves> Hawaii?

[15:57] <schiste> Heu I don't remember where he is [15:57] <Open_Research> ;-) [15:57] <schiste> he told me but I don't remember [15:57] * brown_cat wakes [15:57] <Greeves> Welcome :) [15:58] <brown_cat> hey :D [15:58] <brown_cat> i overslepd :( [15:58] <Greeves> I forgot, so I came about 5 min ago... :( [15:58] <brown_cat> lol [15:59] * brown_cat pokes Open_Research into #wikimedia-stats [15:59] <Open_Research> er.. help [15:59] <Platonides> i suppose we can do like last week [15:59] <Platonides> tell 'Meeting open', 'Meeting closed' [16:00] <Greeves> I missed last week [16:00] <Greeves> Was it dead also? [16:00] <Open_Research> i think so - i think thats what sean said.

[16:03] <brown_cat> yer :) [16:03] <brown_cat> Open_Research: you been in the irc long? [16:03] <Open_Research> er.... you can tell, cant you...?
