  • I need to visit the Bells Corners branch and find out if we can do it there or if we need to go downtown.

  • 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:
