+
+

__Motion carried__
-Limited
interest in business event - not currently viable. To look at
again after establishing more contacts, etc
.
+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.
+
+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
.
!6. New Hoiho
+Matt has asked the committee to clarify the maintenance situation for Hoiho.
Maintaining 5 machines is a reasonable job - kernel security updates, etc.
Current Hoiho hasn't required much administration.
-Blade owners & responsibility - perry hoiho/db
, matt wiki
, craig mail
, everything - decision making - form sysadmin team
.
+Perry is the head of a sysadmin team
, currently comprising himself
, Matt
, Craig and John. Jamie and Daniel also currently have sudo access
.
-Orcon administrative contact
- to ask Matt
-Orcon reboot this contact - Matthias
+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.
-Ian has offered to provide backup as well if required
+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.
+
+
Ian has offered to provide backup as well if required.
!7. General business
The WLUG needs revitalisation.
-* age range is hard to work with
-* social events (should have a TNC etc)
-* everyone
keen on seeing it
continue
-* Hamilton not
really big enough for a LUG?
-* offer training, linux, networking, SA
+* 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.
+* Hamilton isn't
really big enough for a developer/commercial user only
LUG.
+
+Feedback will be solicited.
+
+A Thursday Night Curry could be used to build interest and contacts from people in the IT industry in Hamilton. One should be organised.
August meeting: Ian has suggested either firewalling or Squid.
-Need new members for 2007.
+Need to start encouraging
new committee
members for 2007.
Meeting closed at 9.20pm
