Grex Board of Directors meeting March 5, 2004

Mar 9 19:58 UTC 2004

1.      Gavel sounded at 7:15pm

2.      Treasurer s report: In the black for February. Took in $458, 
paid out $360.  87 members at the end of February 75 paid up.  As of 
the meeting date there were 83 members, 78 paid up.  We re getting in 
what has traditionally been a slow time for Grex financially, April-
September.

Aruba sent in IRS information, regarding the 501(3)(c) status. 
Apparently they had tried to mail something to an old address, Aruba 
contacted them and filled out the forms. They were sent in a week ago 
Thursday (from the meeting date) and he received a return receipt on 
Friday. The IRS says to allow 30 days for turnaround time. He also 
needed a certificate from the state of Michigan saying we were 
current, which cost $10.

3.      Staff Report / Next Grex- There hadn t been a staff meeting as 
of the date of the board meeting. Most everyone has been engaged in 
other things. Bhoward set up home directories and is moving scripts 
from the old to new (and documenting these in RCS)
Gelinas discovered that the script that runs 9 minutes after the hour 
to remove files from /tmp that are two days old doesn t remove 
directories. So he went ahead to get rid of some of the directories 
that were in there.
Note also that packet filters on the new machine won t trust a certain 
files unless it is written by root.

4.      Schedule next meeting: Monday April 12th at 7:00 pm at Aruba s.

Enter Drew

5.      New Business: A discussion followed regarding the feasibility 
of making twit filters more easily accessible. There are several users 
who would like to engage filters, but do not know how. Perhaps 
a  shared  filter concept could be in place wherein user A who like 
the filter User B had set up, for their personal reading, could be 
then copied and used by User A. Discussion turned to how slashdot uses 
their user ranking system. The conversation boiled down to mary 
volunteering to start an item discussing this, and remmers will look 
at creating a friendlier front-end for twit filters.

6. Meeting adjourned at 8:15pm
