30 !5. Advocacy event planning
31
5 CraigBox 32 Planning is well underway. We still need many more volunteers, and a co-ordinated focus and approach. Craig will present an update to the next WLUG meeting.
3 CraigBox 33
5 CraigBox 34 Things to consider:
35
36 * a Penguin suit?
3 CraigBox 37 * Network access - Telecom
38 * Tables
5 CraigBox 39 * Booking Centreplace for Saturday Sep 16th
40 * A Giveaway/raffle to encourage people to fill something out
3 CraigBox 41
42 Motion: that the committee authorize spending of up to $200 for promotional space in Centreplace for the SFD advocacy event.
43
44 Moved: CraigBox %%%
4 CraigBox 45 Seconded: LindsayDruett
3 CraigBox 46
47 __Motion carried__
48
5 CraigBox 49 There is limited interest in holding business event - David's canvassing suggests it is not currently viable. We are interested in considering again after establishing more interest/contacts.
50
51 It was suggested that the WLUG could look at running training as its next advocacy/promotional move. The training could be on general Linux, networking or sysadmin, or could progress in that order. A post to the WLUG list will gauge interest.
3 CraigBox 52
53 !6. New Hoiho
54
5 CraigBox 55 Matt has asked the committee to clarify the maintenance situation for Hoiho.
3 CraigBox 56 Maintaining 5 machines is a reasonable job - kernel security updates, etc.
57 Current Hoiho hasn't required much administration.
58
5 CraigBox 59 Perry is the head of a sysadmin team, currently comprising himself, Matt, Craig and John. Jamie and Daniel also currently have sudo access.
3 CraigBox 60
5 CraigBox 61 On the new server, there should be a person responsible for each blade - Perry hoiho/db, Matt wiki, Craig mail. Decisions fall on the respective blade owners, but all sysadmins are welcome to work on all blades.
3 CraigBox 62
5 CraigBox 63 Matt will be asked to stay as the Orcon administrative contact; Matthias has volunteered to be the person who calls Orcon if the machine needs rebooting.
64
65 Ian has offered to provide backup as well if required.
3 CraigBox 66
67 !7. General business
68
69 The WLUG needs revitalisation.
70
5 CraigBox 71 * The age and skill range we deal with is very hard to work with. Everyone is keen on seeing the group continue, but some of the current committee are burning out.
72 * Hamilton isn't really big enough for a developer/commercial user only LUG.
73
74 Feedback will be solicited.
75
76 A Thursday Night Curry could be used to build interest and contacts from people in the IT industry in Hamilton. One should be organised.
3 CraigBox 77
