Slack Board channel

Approval of previous minutes.

We had a couple of people who occasionally attend the meeting. Rick Leir was there with a Sun Blade 2000 and was wondering about alternatives to install Debian as the current Debian no longer supports fibre channel. It is also possible that the disks are dead. I offered a wide SCSI external disk for him to try it with. I'm supposed to bring it to the next meeting.

Ian:

• We have five including RGB at L3GO. Interesting discussion, only about half on computers.

John:

• I did start up the new Helium and actually looked at Crunchmaster, but there's been a lot of work to do on histoRicalg.
• I'm going to Dalhousie for Oct 12 and will give talk I'm giving to OCLUG (6 decades of personal computers)
• Also have a tutorial document created today on Double Commander that I can contribute to the tutorials section of wiki.
• Scott: There is a slight gotcha with the Q&D solution I gave you for the sshfs… The process is effectively left running all the time, so you might want to have an additional script that hunts it down and kills it
• John: I already have one, but before next meeting will make sure it really does the kill.

Ian: Balance - $5,099.19 (is it still?)

* Reimbursement to Scott for the room rentals and the drinks for LITW 2018 as per the email that was sent to the board members.

I have not managed to get the logo I created to appear on the web page yet, but I have not expended much time at it either.

We are in Centerpointe for October and November. I have not chased down a room for December yet. I suppose I could ask Richard how the whole cost recovery is going at Algonquin.

• Suggestion made for using a restaurant and having a Soltace/Christmas gathering
• Vote in favour for presenting it to the membership at next meeting. (5 of 6, one abstention)
