System announcement:
Polls are open through the end of the day (EST), February 7, on two member
proposals. To see the proposals or cast a ballot, type 'vote' at a Unix shell
prompt, '!vote' at any other prompt. If you are reading this on the web, you
need to make a dialup, telnet, or ssh connection to do this. Discussion of
these proposals is in items 75 and 76 of the Coop conference.

Re #73: I've never looked at the law on minors and checking accounts, but
it's a general principle that minors can't be held to contracts
unless they're for necessities.

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

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

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

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.

savngs accounts are openable by minors, at least in missouri in the 50s.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
