   >= 20G OS

      4 G swap

      extended partition containing two partitions

	data1   <=  10G 

              data2   rest        

      one primary unused

  data1 will hold mailman and content data

no encryption

no software RAID

Software:

sshd (openssh-server)

Apache2 and php5

DokuWiki

Mailman

Tasks:

Back up current Tux to USB external drive

Post plan on existing wiki (Note: this is no longer to consult for input, but rather to inform of decisions)

During process, document steps, possibly in partial scripts.

Base install and SSH, within this week or 10 days

JN and Roland will handle supervision of this

Install initial login keys

After this, everything can be done remotely

Install Apache2 and php5

Install Dokuwiki

Migrate web and wiki content

Migrate archives but not members

Install Mailman

Mailing Lists setup

Set up moderators

Re-establishing members

Make Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) accessible from server. 

The constitution and bylaws refer to Board approving new members. 
Bylaws require annual check of list, and this is a suitable time to do so.
send  “This is the bylaws-required membership check” message to all currently
listed members as well as mailing list current registrants. Also post on website

Request return of a signed copy of the AUP (signature image appended, 
or physically signed then scanned), these will be stored encrypted, possibly 
separate from Tux.

Document how to back up new system

Test system is working

Turn off old Tux, change IP address on new system.

Ongoing:

regular backups

Panic Book updates
