Oct 28 02:50 UTC 2003

Attending: mary*, other*, lhbunkie, gelinas*, remmers, flem*, mooncat* 
and aruba*. 
(* = board member)

1, Opening gavel: 7:00

2. Treasurer s Report- delayed.

3. Staff Report/Next Grex Update: Remmers and Gelinas attended the 
recent staff meeting. There was discussion regarding Next Grex and it 
was decided that a 3 month timeline was reasonable.

Kip is going to set up a web Bugzilla to track the progress/problems 
with setting up NextGrex.

There wasn t a discussion of changing the location of NextGrex from 
JanC and Valerie s home to the Pumpkin. Janc will be installing the 
most recent release of the OS.

Kip was also trying to finalize documentation of mail- Cross has been 
doing some work on his own. Cross will be leaving us at the end of 
January for at least three months- based on the timeline NextGrex 
hopefully will be up and running by that time.

Gelinas has been working on Pine, but the work will have to be redone. 
Packet filtering is as ready as it ever will be.

2- Treasurer s Report: In September we took in $287 and spent $425- 
another loss, our bank account is down to $3,80. There were three new 
members in September.

In October we have so far taken in $545 and spent $424. There have been 
five new members so far for October. There are 82 members, 81 are paid 
to date.

Our Centrex account expired 10/21. They did switch the next day, so we 
are down to four lines. Initially a trunk hunt was not set up for the 
first line, but was for the other three. That problem has since been 
fixed (after Mark called SBC today, Mary and Other tested the fix at 
the meeting).

Clarifications: the Grex bank account has been droping slowly over the 
past couple years. The membership took a sharp decline about two years 
ago- going from around 100 member to right around 80. Since that time 
membership has been holding steady at around 80.

5. Schedule next meeting: We came up with three potential dates:
        Tuesday November 25th, 7:00 pm
        Tuesday December 2nd, 7:00 pm
        Tuesday December 9th, 7:00

        The meeting will be held, as usual, in the Kid s Room at 
Zingerman s Next Door.

6. New Business: None.

7. Meeting adjourned at 7:35 pm.

All of those dates work for me.

(I somehow missed that discussion.  It's a "Board Meeting", and the Board is
"of Directors")

Do you have connections to Grex at the Kid's room? You guys take your 
laptops there?

THe answer is yes, other and sometimes others bring their laptops, but no,
we have never had a connection to Grex during the meeting.  But it's
possible we could get a connection, as Eric suggested.

They used cell phones.  Both dialed 971-3000, one after the other, and both
got simultaneous modem tones.

I've sent a quick note inquiring about access.

Since "$3,80" could be a European way for writing "$3.80", that could have
been a serious matter!  :-)
