| - | |||
| - | * Lee volunteered to send invoices to our list of previous sponsors. ($200) | ||
| - | * Clarence and Stan will start working to gather information about previous sponsors. | ||
| - | * Starting with information from the web site. | ||
| - | * Lee spoke with Dave Mills - NO other informaiton available. | ||

| - | * Stan and Ted will continue listing prior years' data as time permits. | ||
| - | * Stan working with Ted to get presentations put up. | ||
| - | * Ted has gotten some of the older presentations gathered. | ||
| - | * Ted's major emphasis will be to focus on getting the material from presenters. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== System Administration ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Root passwords on all 4 systems have been changed. Passwords have been given to the President and Secretary. | ||
| - | * Most admin work should be done via ''sudo'', which does not require the root password. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== PROJECT: New servers ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Configured SLUUG.ORG web site on new server. | ||
| - | * Copied over all the data. | ||
| - | * Configured a redirect back to old systems for user pages for short-term. | ||
| - | * Will redirect to users.sluug.org, which can remain in place after the full migration. | ||
| - | * This will allow us to move the web site without having to move the users. | ||
| - | * Need to determine how to do the mailing list sign-up pages. | ||
| - | * Need to determine how to proceed with non-SLUUG sites we host. | ||
| - | * Next step is to test the new site, before we point our production DNS there. | ||
| - | * Make sure everything is there and working. | ||
| - | * Make sure we copy over any updates from the old web site. | ||
| - | * Make sure the redirect to user pages is working. | ||
| - | * Make sure the SIG sites/pages work. | ||
| - | * Get the mailing list sign-up pages to work. | ||
| - | * Craig is working on email infrastructure. | ||
| - | * He made some progress, but is not quite finished. | ||
| - | * Got some input on how to proceed from the others. | ||
| - | * We need some versa-rails to mount the servers. | ||
| - | * Craig will go into Primary and measure the rack depth. | ||
| - | * Craig has a 1U UltraSparc with Solaris 10 to donate and install at Primary. | ||
| - | * We could use a rackmount switch. | ||
| - | * Carl has a 12-port rackmount hub he will donate. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Old Business ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Missouri Exempt status - (Carl Fitch and Lee Lammert, with help from Fred Smith's wife) | ||
| - | * Carl has the forms. Working to finish filling them out. Will hand them off to Lee. | ||
| - | * Gary will take forms to Rich McClennan to get help answering some of the questions. | ||
| - | |||
| - | * See about O'Reilly bringing someone in to speak to our group(s). | ||
| - | * Carl will follow up. | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Stan proposed we clean house, and send any excess inventory to WITS. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== New Business ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Need to come up with rates for membership / accounts this year. | ||
| - | * Craig proposed a new $100 "professional" membership level. | ||
| - | * He wants to pay that much for a membership this year. | ||
| - | * This would support one of SLUUG's goals - being a professional organization. | ||
| - | * Professional members will receive recognition on a new page on the web site. | ||
| - | * No other benefits currently proposed for this level, beyond the current membership benefits. | ||
| - | * Craig will write up info on the membership levels for the web site and hand-outs. | ||
| - | * Proposed rates for 2006: | ||
| - | * Level 1: $35 (basic/shell) Shell | ||
| - | * Level 2: $65 (dial-up + shell) Sustaining | ||
| - | * Level 3: $100 ("professional") Professional | ||
| - | * Corporate Sponsorship: $200 | ||
| - | * Stan proposed that we charge a $5/month late fee. | ||
| - | * Annual account ffes are due on July 1. | ||
| - | * Late fee takes effect starting August 1. | ||
| - | * Accounts over 90 days past due will be suspended. | ||
| - | * Need to announce the new rates, and update all web pages. | ||
| - | * Craig volunteered. | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Mike Knight suggested (via email) that 4 dial-up lines would be the optimal number. | ||
| - | * We currently have 5 lines, and pay $160/month. | ||
| - | * Having 4 lines would result in only a small number of busy signals. | ||
| - | * Reducing 1 line would save us 20% of our #1 expense. | ||
| - | * Reducing 2 lines (down to 3 lines) would save us $768, reducing the total expense to $1152/year. | ||
| - | * This would require about 18 $65 accounts to sustain. | ||
| - | * Unanymous agreement to reduce to 4. | ||
| - | * There was nearly unanymous agreement to reduce to 3 lines. | ||
| - | * Will table the discussion to reduce to 3 (or 0) for later. | ||
| - | * Mike Knight reminded us (via email) that we need to remember that we provide Rich McLennan with a comp account. | ||
| - | * Would need to make alternate arrangements with him for his work for us. | ||
| - | * It was suggested that those who want dial-up look into a more sustainable arrangement. | ||
| - | * Wholesale dial-up accounts. | ||
| - | * Recruiting more users. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Follow-up and Action Items ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Carl - Complete tax-exempt status paperwork. | ||
| - | * Carl - Follow up with O'Reilly about bringing someone in to speak to our group(s). | ||
| - | * Craig - Write up info on membership levels for web site and hand-outs. | ||
| - | * Craig - Print out meeting minutes for inclusion in secretary folder. | ||
