TREASURER S REPORT
We took in $516.14 in December and spent $150. We had two returning
members. At the end of December there were 60 members. 52 paid up and
the others in a grace period.
So far in January, we have taken in $90.
Grex had a good year in 2006. This is mostly because we have cut
expenses. We took in around $4600 and spent around $1900. We had around
$2700 surplus. We also had two times as many new members as last year.
We had 24 new members for a net gain of five members.
The board wonders why are people coming back to grex? We don t know. It
was suggested that we ask users. The list of members is public so any
board member who wishes to do this can write to the members if they
want to.
STAFF REPORT
Grex is up. bhoward was asked if he still wishes to be involved in Grex
staff issues and he said that he does.
gelinas opened up newuser. He created a new group that doesn t have
outbound access and set up new user to use that group.
cross says that he can help fix some vulnerabilities with new user. He
will make changes and will email them to janc
The current staff is janc, bhoward, steve, srw, mdw, i, gelinas, and kip
Users are getting frustrated waiting for things to happen. There is
currently a pretty high first bar to get onto staff. We are not good at
getting new staff members. It was suggested that having staff meetings
could help orient and support newer staff members. It would also help
staff come to a consensus
A staff meeting was planned for February at Janc s house.
Surplus It was suggested that it could be spent on something like
hardware. Perhaps a RAID setup or a hardware email proxy? Those things
would need to be looked into because they are not things that can be
done with minimal effort and might increase our cost at provide.net.
Mail is something that Grex needs to work on however. Grex also might
want to look into doing new things.
