- | * 2011-08 - EveryDNS migration to DynDNS caught us unprepared. Craig moved us to buddyns. | ||

- | * 2011-12 Michelob is dead. | ||

- | * 2012-01 | ||

- | ===== JOBS Mailing List ===== | ||
- | * Historically SLUUG had discouraged postings of jobs on our mailing lists. | ||
- | * Such job postings could be perceived as SPAM. | ||
- | * With drastically lower member employment, job postings have been considered acceptable. | ||
- | * Ideally SLUUG would offer something to paid sponsors and receive credit and compensation. | ||
- | * 2012-06 Jeff Muse volunteered to create a JOBS mailing list. | ||
- | * We'll also add an archive of the list on the web. | ||
- | * 2012-07 (late June) Jeff had indicated earlier that there were problems. Nothing additional reported. | ||
- | * 2012-08 Jeff has been AWOL | ||
- | * 2012-09 Jeff got it working. Now testing. Documentation? | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Pamphlets ===== | ||
- | * 2012-04 - Stan R with considerable help from Christine Wanta has produced a pamphlet on Free Open Source Software (FOSS). | ||
- | * It should be very complementary to what we hawk at the St. Louis Business Expo Linux Booth. | ||
- | * The pamphlet has been added to the SLUUG Resources Handouts page | ||
- | * Another pamphlet is planned to highlight our Google calendar and list regular meeting days of the month. | ||
- | * Lee suggested a single page calendar poster also. | ||
- | * 2012-05 Stan R built new pamphlet for Calendar and Free Open Source Software (FOSS). | ||
- | * 2012-06 New pamphlets have been posted to our web site http://www.sluug.org/resources/handouts/ | ||
- | * 2012-06 Stan will go to Lee's to print out some copies. | ||
- | * Good for handing out, especially at Business Expo. | ||
- | * 2012-06 Stan has more ideas. | ||
- | * Troubleshooting | ||

- | ===== Web Site Suggestions ===== | ||
- | * 2011-01 Mike Knight's emails regarding web site. | ||
- | * Stan R changed the copyright dates. | ||
- | * Good idea to list other Open Source friendly resources. | ||
- | * On a separate page from our own SIGs. | ||
- | * Sites like WITS, CVillage, Arch Reactor, 2600. | ||
- | * Our site layout has not changed for years. | ||
- | * Would take some effort to re-do it, and seems to be working for most people. | ||
- | * 2011-02 Stan R hasn't gotten around to building new resources page, yet. | ||
- | * 2011-03 No change. | ||
- | * 2011-04 No change. | ||
- | * 2011-05 No change. | ||

- | * 2012-05 Gary M. suggests calendar page to highlight OUR, i.e. SLUUG's mtngs. | ||
- | * After all, part of the idea of maintaining the calendar is to drive traffic to our own mtngs! | ||
- | * Could be hilites on the Google calendar itself &/or additional 1-2 lines written outside the Google calendar. | ||
- | * Lee pointed out that advanced users may pull RSS that would not see the "off-Google" lines. | ||
