Re #77:
    Why are "necessities" an exception?

#80 of 107 by gelinas on Wed Feb 4 03:37:55 2004:

grex locked up this evening when /usr/local filled up.  I'm trying to free
up some space on the drive now.

#81 of 107 by gelinas on Wed Feb 4 04:03:09 2004:

I freed up some space on /usr/local.  I don't think another reboot is needed
now.

#82 of 107 by aruba on Wed Feb 4 05:56:41 2004:

Why did /usr/local fill up?

#83 of 107 by gelinas on Wed Feb 4 06:06:16 2004:

Not sure.  I'd been collecting core files /user/local/etc/domain, and there
was another in /usr/local/etc/newuser.  Removing the named core files freed
up a bit space, roughly 40 percent of the disk.

zoundz, them's a buncha cores ... i thought core files were identified
somehow as 'do not save'
 
thankx for 40%back
  
savngs accounts are openable by minors, at least in missouri in the 50s.

#85 of 107 by gelinas on Wed Feb 4 11:34:42 2004:

I'd been hoping to use the core files to figure out why named keeps crashing.
It turns out we don't have enough information to solve the problem, and time
is better spent migrating.

Re #79:  I'm not sure.

TWILA that I'm directly responsible for twenty-two of the last fourty-seven
names keesan has twit-filtered.

Hey sweet; you and jp2 are like the only regulars.

The polls are open now through March 9 on a member proposal to restore
some deleted bbs items.  Type  vote  at a Unix shell prompt, !vote at
most other prompts, to see the proposal or cast a ballot.  For
discussion, see Coop item 112.

Does anyone keep party logs from 1995?

heh

#93 of 107 by remmers on Mon Mar 15 17:43:10 2004:

The motion to clarify Grex's policy on item deletion PASSED, 21 yes to
19 no, with 40 out of 77 eligible members voting.  See Coop item 111
(item:coop,111) for related discussion.

#94 of 107 by keesan on Mon Mar 15 17:53:17 2004:

Are the other 37 members actually receiving notification of the vote, for
instance by email?  Not everyone logs in often enought o read the motd before
every vote, but they might be forwarding their email.  This is a pretty low
voter turnout.

#95 of 107 by albaugh on Mon Mar 15 18:12:41 2004:

The answer is "no".  I have brought this idea up before, some said "good
idea", but it has never been implemented.

See item 111, response 154 of the Coop conference for the wording.

Re #94:  Turnout isn't all that low compared to some past votes, but
I agree that email notification would be reasonable when a vote starts.
Meant to start doing it, but with the hyperactive recent voting activity
the idea kind of got lost in the shuffle, mentally speaking.

Would there be any objection to my doing it from now on, starting with
the current vote?  It's on my own proposal, but I guess that's not a
conflict since anyone notified has the option of voting for or against.
I'd word the email to simply announce the vote, not advocate a particular
side.

#98 of 107 by gelinas on Mon Mar 15 18:33:15 2004:

Sounds good to me, John.

#99 of 107 by albaugh on Mon Mar 15 18:55:56 2004:

There is no "abuse" in announcing a member vote, regardless of whose proposal
it is.

#100 of 107 by remmers on Mon Mar 15 21:39:12 2004:

Okay.  I'm glad I don't have to recuse myself.  :)

Probably won't have time to do it until tomorrow.

#101 of 107 by twenex on Mon Mar 15 21:40:21 2004:

recuse?

#102 of 107 by remmers on Mon Mar 15 21:44:56 2004:

It's what judges do when they decline to hear a case because of
a conflict of interest.

#103 of 107 by atlantic on Mon Mar 15 21:47:30 2004:

I like recusing myself.

#104 of 107 by aruba on Tue Mar 16 00:46:35 2004:

Go for it, John.

#105 of 107 by salad on Tue Mar 16 01:14:56 2004:

Re resp:99: I agree, though as a courtesy it would be good to keep a
list of people who do not want to receive vote notifications.

There are no more items selected.

You have several choices:
