IRC Takeover
With my blog back up, I will begin finding and talking with IRC Administrators about TMSR and linking a server. MP had mentioned TMSR had resources available for IRC hosting, but I don’t know if that is still the case now that Pizarro has sunk, so I need to find out what options are available there. I will start with one network (OFTC, since it is at the top of my list), going in on Monday and report back with a blog post as soon as I have had a conversation. I will decide how to proceed the rest of the week based on what happens Monday.
Remedial Education
I will be postponing work here until more republican blogs are back online.
Growing China Network
This week I intend to work towards getting Mia into TMSR. First I need to familiarize myself with how to get gpg and IRC working on Windows so I can help her get through the key registration process if she is interested. I will have the interesting blog post mentioned in this weeks review translated. I will invite Arina Tang into #ossasepia, since she seems very interested in “crypto.” I will attempt to contact the blogger mentioned previously, as well as try to find more interesting bloggers and blog posts with the WeChat blog search feature.
Infrastructure
My blog is still not totally working. I intend to try to get permalinks fixed, and to resolve the issue with me being redirected to the “already installed” page when trying to visit / while logged in.
Vacation
I will be on vacation from Oct. 19th through the 26th in Hawaii. I’m not sure how to handle reviews/plans around this time.
Are you clear now on your position and approach re talking to network operators? For that matter, you can talk to several of them at the same time, not like there’s some limit and in any case, it’s more likely a filtering exercise along the lines of “find the sane ones out of this whole pile of insanity”.

My approach is that I am here on behalf of tmsr looking for networks that want to grow the number of serious, high quality users and you can read our extensive logs here. and you can come talk to us in #ossasepia on Freenode. We would of course want a stake in the network and would contribute servers and need to be involved in the management of the network proportionately to our contribution. My position need not be made explicit but is akin to that of a large company scouring the set of dead startups for some bright kids.
I could indeed talk to several of them at the same time seeing as how given the deadness of many of them it might take a while to get the conversation going in any one network.

Sounds fine, go ahead. And yes, better with as many as you can really but *document* it all and publish it on your blog, actual conversation included.
