So far $1,688 in the infrastructure fund, expecting another $200-220.
There were two new members in February and three new members in March.
3. Staff Report- none present, skipped until later in the meeting.
4. Next Grex- At the most recent Next Grex meeting user Dang
volunteered to help put together the next Grex is the window of
opportunity for Steve to do so closes.
5. Fundraiser Update: $664 in, $862 in pledges so far. Currently
waiting for Steve for hardware purchases. Steve stated that the prices
are stable and is working at the moment at trying to find the highest
quality items and where best to purchase them from.
6. Centrex- at this point the Board decided to leave it alone for
now, the contract expires in October, and in the meantime keep an eye
out for better deals.
7. New Business: Auction, Aruba states that he thought the auction
had enough items donated and the auction will officially open May 1.
New donations are still being accepted.
MERIT is getting rid of PortMasters- sending them over to Property
Disposition, no idea if they have documentation with them or not.
8. Next Board Meeting scheduled for May 6th, Zingerman s Next Door
in the Kid s Room.
3. Staff Report: Hardware has been pretty good. There was a crash
that Steve thinks was due to a vandal- a more intelligent vandal that
usual. Also noted that we haven t had any root exploits since Grex
lived in the Dungeon.
Batteries for the UPS- Steve was authorized to purchase batteries a few
meetings back- but the location he was going to get them from ran out
of the proper kind. He will be attending the Dayton Ham Convention in
about five weeks and will look for the type of batteries Grex s UPS
needs.
4. Steve has been in a holding pattern while looking at three
different motherboards. Also working to ensure that all the hardware
purchased is compatible with OpenBSD (so that no one has to write
drivers). Steve wants to get Ultra320 drives as they are blindingly
fast.
As for actual purchases, Steve and Aruba were to meet later in the week
to go to CompUSA and see what they could find there from the hardware
list. Steve was very pleased with the selection CompUSA offered.
3. Staff Report- spam is still a problem.
9. Closing Gavel: 8:10 pm.
