!mooncat Item 137. Grex Board of Directors meeting March 5, 2004 Anne Perry (mooncat) Tue, Mar 9, 2004 (14:58). 45 lines, 12 responses. 1. Gavel sounded at 7:15pm 2. Treasurer s report: In the black for February. Took in $458, paid out $360. 87 members at the end of February 75 paid up. As of the meeting date there were 83 members, 78 paid up. We re getting in what has traditionally been a slow time for Grex financially, April- September. Aruba sent in IRS information, regarding the 501(3)(c) status. Apparently they had tried to mail something to an old address, Aruba contacted them and filled out the forms. They were sent in a week ago Thursday (from the meeting date) and he received a return receipt on Friday. The IRS says to allow 30 days for turnaround time. He also needed a certificate from the state of Michigan saying we were current, which cost $10. 3. Staff Report / Next Grex- There hadn t been a staff meeting as of the date of the board meeting. Most everyone has been engaged in other things. Bhoward set up home directories and is moving scripts from the old to new (and documenting these in RCS) Gelinas discovered that the script that runs 9 minutes after the hour to remove files from /tmp that are two days old doesn t remove directories. So he went ahead to get rid of some of the directories that were in there. Note also that packet filters on the new machine won t trust a certain files unless it is written by root. 4. Schedule next meeting: Monday April 12th at 7:00 pm at Aruba s. Enter Drew 5. New Business: A discussion followed regarding the feasibility of making twit filters more easily accessible. There are several users who would like to engage filters, but do not know how. Perhaps a shared filter concept could be in place wherein user A who like the filter User B had set up, for their personal reading, could be then copied and used by User A. Discussion turned to how slashdot uses their user ranking system. The conversation boiled down to mary volunteering to start an item discussing this, and remmers will look at creating a friendlier front-end for twit filters. 6. Meeting adjourned at 8:15pm 12 responses total. !slynne ---------- (137) #1 S. Lynne Fremont (slynne) Tue, Mar 9, 2004 (15:06). 1 line. Wow. Great minutes.
