I was able to reach both the owner and our new property manager
today. Both were pleased to hear we are happy with our space.
Both thanked us for calling to find out how this renewal worked.
The property manager said, "It would be best" to let him know, each year,
of our intention to stay and take the option to renew. We could just send
a memo, by U.S. mail, that he'll keep with our lease. I said I'd send
this year's off in tomorrow's mail.
I took the opportunity to tell him a little about Grex, why this space
works well for us, and about our non-profit mission. (Thanks, Jan.) He
seemed interested and somewhat amazed we get by on donations. I wouldn't
be surprised if he dropped in to see how our community works.
So, unless something weird happens, we are fine for another year.
I'll send mail to baff with the new address for the rent checks
and telephone numbers to reach the management company both during
business hours and for emergencies, after hours.

It's an e-mail alias for:
valerie, remmers, grex@gibbard.org, srw, steve,
gregc, mdw@umich.edu, nephi, scott, janc, kaplan,
dang, other, eeyore, flem
Some of these I recognise, others I don't. Nor have I deciphered the
acronym.

It's a combination of the board and staff mailing lists.

Except it's not a conclusive list. I should be on it, and probably one or
two others.

Yup.
rcsdiff /etc/aliases
if that shows there being no differences between the checked in and checked
out copies
co -l /etc/aliases
vi /etc/aliases
ci -u /etc/aliases
newaliases
else
vi /etc/aliases
newaliases

Is there a reason to leave the aliases file locked by someone else after
editing it? Wouldn't it make more sense to break the lock and then check
it back in?

Probably, except that it would just get left checked out again within the next
few days anyway. The right answer would be to stop using RCS on that file.

umm. what is RCS?
and what means "checking out/in" a file?

RCS = Revision Control System. It's a package which allows maintenance of
file revisions. Often useful in programming to not lose working versions,
or just generally to backtrack - see who modified a file, etc.
I've never used it before myself, but it seems easy enough (I'll have a quick
read of the chapter on it in one of my Unix books sometime).

Eric, the short form is: read the man pages on rcs, ci and co.

wow. seems like a simple concept with a terribly complex description.

That's why I sent you to the man pages, rather than try to describe it myself.

It's terribly easy to check in a file, forgetting to use the option that
causes it to leave the file in existence (outside the RCS database).
Embarrassing.

Yeah, it is. Fortunately, I'm more likely to forget the file name than the
minusU option.
