On hiatus since we are using the first talk for this purpose.

Nothing new here yet. Marc has been getting a couple of systems together for the purposes of doing some installs and documentation.

• Scott has logged in again, no change from the previous balance, no added notation.
• John was going to check his access
• We need to get Ian some GPG keys and a method of using it with Gmail. Mutt works :), along with Thunderbird. There may be a browser plugin, but I am not sure.

• Based on the recent mailing list activity and the breaking of signing, we will be moving back to Mailman.
• Brett has volunteered to take on the work.
• We have had some back and forth and given a number of other deficiencies, we are considering doing a clean install of the linux-ottawa server in order to remove the old cruft and make sure we have no useless software installed.
• We have not set a date for this yet, but we have a plan outlined
• Proposal for getting a new server for the Mail Server for the purpose of building a new server and cutting over rather than trying to rebuild the existing one on the existing server. Estimated cost being less than $10 per month for the duration of the migration.
  • Vote on Do we spend the money to get an additional server to install the mail software on a current OS and migrate the existing content over:
    • 5 yays
    • 0 nays

Any commentary on it? I’m not sure who has tried it out yet, but it looks promising to me

• Scott will give every member of the board accounts.

This is still a thing to review. Has anyone We should review our repeating sessions list and see if we want to continue them all.
