| - | * 2014-08 | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Web Site Maintenance ===== | ||
| - | * 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? | ||

| - | * 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 highlights 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. | ||

| - | * Ryan Dowell volunteered (in August) to code magic to automatically pull in Calendar items. Gary to follow up. | ||
| - | * Troubleshooting over 3 day period removed errant extra web entries from SIU. | ||
| - | * Some buffering problems remain that disappear when browser clients are rebooted. | ||
| - | * Note that this week, someone other than Stan R put a link to SLUUG calendar in a DISCUSS posting. | ||
| - | * 2013-12 | ||
| - | * Craig working on finishing new STLLUG site. | ||

| - | * Andrew can proceed with the same with the SLUUG site. | ||
| - | * 2014-07 | ||

| - | * 2014-08 | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== SLUUG Web Site Alternative Offers ===== | ||
| - | * FYI Webalizer [[http://www.sluug.org/hitreport/ | report]]. | ||
| - | * Both Noah Lance and Craig Buchek have worked on "new" web pages in the past. | ||
| - | * 2014-03: Scott Granneman indicated our current web site sucks for mobile users. | ||
| - | * He proposed we switch over to using their service for minimal monthly fee. | ||
| - | * They would redesign the site for us and host on their CMS. | ||
| - | * Learning to manage content on their CMS shouldn't be significant. | ||
| - | * Harry (John) Hodges of Graybar offered assistance. | ||
| - | * 2014-03: Our needs: | ||
| - | * We have 2 web sites that we need to update. | ||
| - | * Better appearance | ||
| - | * Especially on mobile | ||
| - | * Easier to maintain | ||
| - | * Web interface | ||
| - | * Easier for multiple people to edit | ||
| - | * Our on-going issue is finding people to find the time to help. | ||
| - | * 2014-03: Andrew's proposal: | ||
| - | * First, redesign static content of existing site(s) | ||
| - | * LUG first, then UUG page | ||
| - | * Using Bootstrap CSS framework (helps with mobile) | ||
| - | * Second, use Monstra (static site builder with no DB required) | ||
| - | * 2014-03: Steering committee decided to go with Andrew's proposal for now. | ||
| - | * Keeps our current hosting. | ||
| - | * Smaller incremental changes, that we're more comfortable with. | ||
| - | * More done by our members. | ||
| - | * 2014-08 | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Publicity ===== | ||
| - | * 2013-09 Publicity. | ||
| - | * Gary M says we're not good at this. | ||
| - | * Flyers for meetings (like this month) will help. | ||
| - | * Mention them at other meetings. | ||
| - | * Mention that the SLUUG calendar covers lots of groups. | ||
| - | * 2013-12 Andrew has been talking to some college kids. | ||
| - | * Inviting them to meetings. | ||
| - | * 2014-01 | ||
| - | * Not too much movement. | ||
| - | * Might want to hand out business cards. | ||
| - | * 2014-03 | ||
| - | * The SLUUG calendar is being referenced at other groups. | ||
| - | * It's a nice way for us to keep our name out there. | ||
| - | * The Google Plus group is also helping a bit. | ||
| - | * 2014-04 No discussion. | ||
| - | * 2014-08 | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Pamphlets ===== | ||
| - | * 2012-04 - Stan R with considerable help from Christine Wanta has produced a pamphlet on Free Open Source Software (FOSS). | ||

| - | * 2012-12 | ||
| - | * Gary McGee returned pamphlets to Stan R. | ||
| - | * We have at least 80 of each. | ||
| - | * Will take them to the upcoming SBE event at the library. | ||

| - | * Single remaining Scribus based pamphlet titled **Password Guidelines for Beginners** will be converted later. | ||
| - | * Pamphlet source .ODT documents are uploaded along side corresponding .PDF files (just not listed on web page). | ||
| - | * Created 1 new pamphlet titled **Why Use Linux?** We should expect that the narratives currently used will be changed. | ||

| - | * The **Password Guidlines for Beginners** and **GNU/Linux Resources** pamphlets are being worked on. | ||
| - | * No progress has been made to adapt ideas in Christine Wanta's handout from last year. Has good points that need to be adapted. | ||

| - | * Would like to print 100 each of the (4) new and updated pamphlets to have on hand for 8 April STL Business Expo. | ||
| - | * We expect that last minute spacing adjustments will be required to match printer alignment for nice folding. | ||
| - | * 2014-05 | ||
| - | * SLUUG pamphlets are available on our Resources/[[http://www.sluug.org/resources/handouts/|Handout]] page. The source .ODT files are availible in same location (just change .PDF to .ODT to download). | ||

| - | ====== Projector ====== | ||
| - | * 2014-06 | ||
| - | * We have a new ViewSonic projector and Penguin case. | ||
| - | * Resolution: 1080P | ||
| - | * Connectors: HDMI, VGA, S-Video, RCA | ||
| - | * Stan R. took it from STEERCOM to SLAAC. | ||
| - | * 2014-07 | ||
| - | * Used at SLACC meeting ~ one of attendees inadvertantly unplugged before cool down cycle completed. | ||
| - | * Used at SLUUG meeting ~ | ||
| - | * Used at STLLUG meeting ~ new HDMI cable placed in case. | ||
| - | * Used at HZWLUG meeting ~ stan r. was unable to get HDMI cable working with ALIENWARE M11 laptop. | ||
| - | * Observations: | ||
| - | * Documentation is pretty and very convoluted and obtuse. | ||
| - | * Factory default had cool down turned off! Had to turn that on, now uses full 60 second cool down. | ||
| - | * The hand controller is somewhat easier to use than on-the-box buttons. | ||
| - | * The hand controller uses InfraRed and works only from front. | ||
| - | * The hand controller brings up menus that then require (counter intuitive) right-or-left selection. | ||
| - | * Overall attendees at each meeting are very impressed with resolution and some even want one for home use. | ||
| - | * As of now, Stan R. has the projector. | ||
| - | * 2014-08 | ||
