Computer Club Minutes for 01/20/2005
Members present: Ed, Tim, Joe, Eric, Chris, Joe W, Adam<p>
1) The new yakko server
The server is serving. Joe commends us for a fantastic job. We migrated in 3
days and we’re back to 90%. We still need to fix mail. It was working, but
now it’s stopped. We can send mail and transmit/receive within the Univ.
Joe suggests that we have POed the OIT department and must talk to them.<p>
Joe will talk to OIT tomorrow, if it is not found to be a configuration problem.
Thanks to Tim, Chris, Joe, Isaac, Matt and Chad for their help with the changeover.<p>
2) Microwave
Some suggested throwing it away, but others want to put things in it that
should not be put into a microwave and fire it up to see what happens.<p>
3) Presentations
Ideas are a basic unix presentation, Mono, Beagle, Linux maintenance. Eric
will do the Linux Maintenance with Package Manager presentation next week.<p>
Various ideas for more presentations are discussed. Joe offered to do a presentation on Mono. Penguicon was discussed. Joe agreed to create a flyer tomorrow.<p>
ASP.NET was also a suggested presentation.<p>
4) New firewall
Brain is dying slowly. We need to get that poor thing upgraded. We have a box
that we can use.<p>
5) New machine
We could use the old one as a backup yakko or offload the mail and web services
onto it.<p>
6) Treasurer’s report
Ed was scolded for not going to the bank. Ed says we have $1300 in the bank
and $300 to go to deposit. We still need to pay off our telephone bill from
when we had a telephone.<p>
Tim and Chris suggested that we get a VOIP phone. Joe agrees. <p>
7) WIDR was discussed
The WIDR changeover went very well, thanks to Isaac.<p>
8) Adjourned at 6:58 PM. Off to the Roadhouse…<p>
