Committee Reports
New to Linux (New Users)
On hiatus since we are using the first talk for this purpose.
Linux-Ottawa Distro Project
Nothing new here yet. Marc has been getting a couple of systems together for the purposes of doing some installs and documentation.
Treasurer’s Report
- 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.
Mailing List
- 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
Calendar
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.
