==== Tux "Maintenance" ==== 

  * No action here. Will be emailing Richard about the hardware.

  * Not too sure about the static approach at this time, need to look at the functions and who is using them.
  (scott) Tux maintenance. I have not talked to RGB about shutting down the old hardware and migrating to a VPS yet, however I have acquired a VPS to use and will get started on the migration shortly. Changing from Django may not happen, as we do use some of the functionality.

====  Board Meetings and Openness ==== 

  * The calendar item I mentioned will probably solve this. Meetings will be listed, as well as board meetings. The board meeting item will have a statement that the meetings are open to members.
