Entered by kentn on Sat Feb 27 19:37:58 UTC 2010:

The next Grex Board Meeting will be Sunday, March 7.  At this point,
I'm putting together the agenda.  Are there any items folks would like
to see on the agenda?  If so, enter them here.

Aside from what has been discussed in coop recently, and business
remaining from prior meetings, are there any items people would like
to see on the meeting agenda for the Mar. 7 meeting?

Quick recap: mail/mysql/network-tools/personalized-domains/validation/
public access to #staff/streaming of board meetings/separate-task-lists-
for-staff/
were the matters raised.

1. PD's was dropped because of marginal benefit and fiddling with 
provide.net's DNS but you might want to enquire about doing something 
like: http://veek.users.cyberspace.org (and hosting user written 
tutorials on this domain - SDF has it: http://sdf.lonestar.org/?
tutorials - note credit is given to the user who wrote the tutorial)

2. what about increased disk space (20MB)

3. website needs to be updated and a Grex-cheat-sheet-page created with 
features being offered etc

4. Better google listing!! by tweaking our web-page file names 
(unix_free_shell.html) and dirTweaks (http://cyberblah/Unix_Free_Shell/
features.html) maybe even a new domain like so: http://unix-
shell.cyberspace.org that redirects to cyberspace.org
When someone types "free shell" we should show up first and not weirdo 
sites like: shells.red-pill.eu/

those sneaky arbornet rats have done it!

Those are all great ideas, veek.  Keep the ideas coming!  And we'll see
what we can get done.  Getting the ideas in the queue helps.

Note that if you google for "free unix shell" Grex is the 9th site
listed while arbornet is #4.  SDF is #3 and Cygwin is #2 in the list. If
you google for "free shell" the results are even worse.  So, there's
definitely room for improvement here!

Oh, by the way, shells.red-pill.eu is a list of sites that offer free
shells.  Grex is listed there.  The site provides connection stats
(daily, weekly, monthly), so might be of interest.  But we're #31 on
their list and rated 3 out 5 (it doesn't say why, but that is the
default rating if you don't change to some other rating).
