Treasurer's Report
- TODO
- Change account type so we only receive electronic copies
- If this does not allow for viewing online, then RBC offers this
service. Maybe even TD. Tangerine might serve, but read-only and deposit access may be an issue.
- Get at least one additional signature on the bank account
- Currently: Scott, Aaron, Rob and RGB.
- Ian, and John to be added.
- Remove Aaron, Rob and RGB.
- No movement was made on this beyond contacting Aaron to see if he would be available for this task. He is available whenever we get it set up
- I need to visit the Bells Corners branch and find out if we can do it there or if we need to go downtown.
Room Allocation
We have a room for the next three meetings. Kelly is supposed to have you're doing that an idea as to the availability of a room at his building. * need to find out about cost and parking before making a decision
Old Data Recovery
- Scott
- Still have not spent any time on this yet, hoping to get to it shortly.
Wiki Info
- John was going to look into ACLs
- A couple of plugins were added.
OCLUG Branding Continuation
- No movement on this beyond the stickers arrived. I'll have handfulls for the meeting on June 1
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.
Mailing List Rework
- Nothing done here yet. I'll be getting to it over the next couple of weeks.
- Just as a reminder, the action items that come out of this are:
- Calendar system that allows subscriptions (see previous item as well)
- Archiving of the old lists and making them available
- Investigate upgrading Mailman to v3 or replace it with [mlmmj](http://mlmmj.org/)
