| - | * TITLE: Kinky Boots | ||
| - | * BY: Brian Bilgere on | ||
| - | * BIO: On File | ||
| - | * SYNOPSIS: No, not the musical play at The Muny but rather a look at BSD's booting process vs Linux's boot. | ||
| - | * Alternative: Brian Bilgere on loading Raspberrian onto the new Pi4. Depends on if MicroCenter gets him a 4Gig Pi in the next few days. MicroCenter ran out. | ||

| - | * Alternative: | ||
| - | * Lee: That was mine? Steve: Yes. | ||
| - | * This was repeat of GIT presentation 5 years ago, but more content & slower pace. | ||
| - | * Stan: Got a lot more out of it this time. | ||
| - | * Gary: Many UGs try to come up with latest & greatest, but reviewing one from years ago can be more helpful. Stan: SSH for example, after many times around, people got a lot more from presentation. | ||

| - | * QUESTION (Stan): Do we have to worry about losing ownership of the stllug.org domains? | ||
| - | * ANSWER | ||
| - | * 2019-02-04 | ||
| - | * Lee: Everything's up and running thanks to Mike. New topic: DCC. What is it? Lee has no clue. | ||
| - | * 2019-03-04 | ||
| - | * Lee: Server is running. | ||
| - | * ANSWER to previous question re Status of stllug.org: Lee is checking, something looks wonky. | ||
| - | * Lee: Verified this AM, .. stllug.org appears to be forwarding successfully to stllug.sluug.org, which matches the LE cert wildcard. Please check for other issues. | ||
| - | * 2019-04-01 | ||
| - | * Mike's still working on ClamAV, but too timid to pull switch on ClamAV or SpamAssassin. | ||
| - | * Need consensus that settings are right | ||
| - | * 2019-04-29 (for MAY) | ||
| - | * Gary would love to get a presentation on status of the servers, featuring Mike, Chuck, Lee | ||
| - | * One possibility would be to have Andrew St Claire (or someone else) debrief them and give the presentation | ||

| - | * Dave & Stan would like long 'spammy' tag not inserted into subject line on SLUUG STEERCOM emails | ||

| - | * ANSWER: no | ||
| - | * 2019-06-03 | ||
| - | * Lee: It's running. Updates posted. | ||
| - | * 2019-07-01 | ||
| - | * Lee: no updates this month. ClamAV & SpamAssassin are running, SA is giving scores, but up to user to decide what to do with them. | ||
| - | * Gary: good that things are running, but would be nice to get a presentation on what is there and what it does. Would be good for everyone to realize what's been done to make things work. | ||
