- | * 2011-08 - EveryDNS migration to DynDNS caught us unprepared. Craig moved us to buddyns. | ||
- | * Lee has made copies of zone files and we have BIND on amber now as an authoritative server. | ||
- | * We should probably make sure buddyns has up-to-date contact info. | ||
- | * 2011-12 Michelob is dead. | ||

- | * Don and Gary did some testing using Apple mail clients, with results showing same problems. | ||
- | * 2012-04 Need to run updates on AMBER or plan for alternate virtual install to migrate over. | ||
- | * 2012-05 Jeff Muse updated AMBER HTTPS cert. | ||
- | * Altho we believed the change would only effect that, unexpectedly, Gary's Apple eMAIL client complained about the certificate on IMAP. | ||

- | * Bud (replacement) - 600 GB storage array | ||
- | * Storage for VMs | ||

- | * Mike Knight is authorized to continue this investigation and remediation. | ||

- | * 2013-05 | ||
- | * | ||
- | |||
- | ===== 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. | ||
- | * Noticed .PNG file doesn't show up on old county library browsers. Do we have .JPG file anywhere? | ||
- | * Not discussed during IRC meeting. | ||
- | * 2011-03 No change. | ||
- | * 2011-04 No change. | ||
- | * 2011-05 No change. | ||
- | * 2011-06 There was brief discussion of implementing a CMS at the work party on 5/21. No decisions made. | ||
- | * 2011-07 Gary noticed Wayback machine has STOPPED archiving our server as of about May 2009. | ||
- | * It would be good to get resumption of archiving at Wayback. | ||
- | * How can we accomplish this? We don't know; so, we appointed Gary M. to find a way. | ||
- | * 2011-08 No progress. | ||
- | * 2011-09 No progress. | ||

- | * 2012-04 Will need to check out WebDev site stlwebdev.org | ||
- | * 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. | ||

- | ===== Reconsider MEETUP.COM ===== | ||
- | * Gary and Craig asked to reconsider MEETUP.COM. | ||

- | ===== STL LUG Meeting Location ===== | ||
- | * 2013-04 | ||
- | * ISSUE: Should/can we move the StL LUG mtng from UMSL's ITE to Savvis? | ||
- | * Introduced previously and in last month's Blue Sky Discussion; but, not recorded | ||
- | |||
- | * 2013-05 | ||
- | <code> | ||
- | * The Pros: | ||
- | 1. Savvis has a number of employees who NEVER come to our mtngs but who would profit professionally by doing so. If we met in their building, they would be more likely to attend. | ||
- | 2. The geographic area around I-64 & MO-141 has more IT professionals than the area around the airport. | ||
- | Therefore, it is more likely we will draw more people. | ||
- | 3. Savvis has made softdrinks available for free to previous mtngs there such as WebDev. | ||
- | 4. Is UMSL getting tired of hosting us??? I haven't heard anything nor have any pressure but just wondering about "the long term". | ||
- | While Craig still has available contacts with Savvis should this be explored. | ||
- | * The Cons: | ||
- | 1. Never rock the boat and screw up the current good thing. | ||
- | 2. Don't want to disappoint Dr. Lemmons & ITE, i.e. our current hosts. | ||
- | 3. There is a LOT of presumption about the geographic draw and the "in the building" population. | ||
- | 4. Location changes...even permanent ones, always tend to LOSE some of the current/existing attendees. | ||
- | Perhaps it is a further geographic location or perhaps it is just the "change of routine" but there are always some people who just disappear. | ||
- | 5. Is there something "big" we want to do or accomplish or present AT UMSL / ITE before we would move? | ||
- | Are we NOT utilizing our current location to max advantage? | ||
