| - | ====== Old Business ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Server Admin ===== | ||
| - | * Fixed GoldenWheat (1U server) | ||
| - | * Acquired 2x2U Dell and 2x2U IBM sets of HW | ||
| - | * Configured one as a new VM server | ||
| - | * ToDo (from Noah Lance): | ||
| - | * Finalize Network (openvswitch isn't happy with linux 3.1), Web GUI, Host monitoring/management configurations | ||
| - | * Build storage configuration - NFS server for images (templates) and home dirs for all VMs | ||
| - | * Validate Web GUI functionality | ||
| - | * Setup Debian 6 VMs for Bud & Budlight | ||
| - | * Attempt p2v of Amber so updates can be tested before pushing to production | ||
| - | * Possible future enhancement - LDAP/Kerberos for SSO to production servers? | ||
| - | * Need to resolve CNAME/A Record issue for sluug.org? | ||
| - | * 2010-07 - Renewed SLUUG.ORG domain during 9 July migration work party. | ||
| - | * 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. | ||
| - | * Joe B. Volunteers to do fix on Michelob, will get together with Gary M. | ||
| - | * 2012-01 | ||
| - | * 2012-02 Lee installed Webalizer on the new servers, per Stan R's request. | ||
| - | * 2012-03 Stan R is getting some technical response of his email problem. | ||
| - | * Much discussion of Mike Knight's research and possible work around. | ||
| - | * 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. | ||
| - | * 2012-06 Noah got 3 new servers up at Hostirian. | ||
| - | * Bud (replacement) - 600 GB storage array | ||
| - | * Storage for VMs | ||
| - | * Storage for media (audio/video recordings of meetings) | ||
| - | * Golden Wheat (replacement) | ||
| - | * XenPRI - platform to run VMs | ||
| - | * 2012-06 Noah has been updating docs on wiki. | ||
| - | * 2012-07 (late June) No report. | ||
| - | * 2012-08 No update | ||
| - | * 2012-09 No update | ||
| - | * 2012-10 Problem geting to AMBER o/a 19/20 September. | ||
| - | * DNS was broken because of zone file configuration error on 20 August. | ||
| - | * BuddyNS stopped resolving after 30 days. | ||
| - | * We aren't logging or documenting very well. | ||
| - | * Mike Knight suggested extending size of root bash history. | ||
| - | * Mike Knight testing of timestamps for root bash history ran into some problems. | ||
| - | * Mike Knight is authorized to continue this investigation and remediation. | ||
| - | * 2012-11 | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== 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? | ||
| - | * Before trying to set up kind of Policy? | ||
| - | * We believe we'll open it up to use, to see how members use it. Announce it on DISCUSS to sign up for now JOBS no longer welcome on DISCUSS list. | ||
| - | * See what happens instead of beating our heads against the wall. | ||
| - | * 2012-10 List is up, 14 people are signed up. Seems to be going OK. | ||
| - | * 2012-11 | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== 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 | ||
| - | * 2012-07 (late June) No report. | ||
| - | * 2012-08 | ||
| - | * Stan R. printed approximately 100 each of Calendar, FOSS, GNU/Linux for Beginners, and GNU/Linux Resources pamphlets. | ||
| - | * Minor spacing revisions have been made to the **GNU/Linux for Beginners** pamphlet, stock on hand can be used. | ||
| - | * Significant revision being made to the **Password Guidelines for Beginners** pamphlet before printing. | ||
| - | * Suggested minor revisions will be made to **FOSS** pamphlet, stock on hand can be used. | ||
| - | * Our **General Information** pamphlet will have to be revised before STL Business Expo on 16 October. | ||
| - | * 2012-09 Lee will update and send on to Stan R. | ||
| - | * 2012-10 Stan has 100 of each, but needs to continue working on the "General" pamphlet. | ||
| - | * 2012-11 | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Domain Names ===== | ||
| - | * 2012-03 Gary M renewed the STLLUG.ORG domain. | ||
| - | * 2012-04 This points to Craig's 2011 membership survey web page. Will redesignate to current active site. | ||
| - | * 2012-05 Yet to be done. | ||
| - | * 2012-06 Craig to take a look at this. | ||
| - | * 2012-07 (late June) No report. | ||
| - | * 2012-08 No update | ||
| - | * 2012-09 | ||
| - | * SLUUG.ORG Last Updated On:11-Jul-2012 01:23:13 UTC | ||

| - | * 2012-10 | ||
| - | * 2012-11 | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Recording Meetings ===== | ||
| - | * 2010-12 | ||
| - | * We have a voice recorder (VC) for recording meeting presentations and have posted some results on web site. | ||
| - | * On 28 Oct Stan R suggested buying an additional VC so that there wouldn't be a single point of failure. | ||
| - | * We forget who has it. | ||
| - | * We forget to bring it. | ||

| - | * Sites like WITS, CVillage, Arch Reactor, 2600. | ||
| - | * Our site layout has not changed for years. | ||
