Get address from Rene.<br /> <br /> Bring your laptops, and bring your GPL'd Doom and/or Quake engines.<br /> <br /> == Everyone List ==<br /> <br /> Dana announced at GA.<br /> <br /> Whose on the submit committee? We think, Brandon, Anna, Matt H., and<br /> Rene.<br /> <br /> == Administrative Stuff ==<br /> <br /> We discuss handoff of admin stuff from Brandon to members of Obit.<br /> <br /> Services in question:<br /> <br /> * trac<br /> * piwik<br /> * Some mailing list passwords<br /> <br /> == proposals.occupyboston.org ==<br /> <br /> Rene suggested proposals.occupyboston.org. Steve suggested making<br /> this a redirect to voices.occupyboston.org. <br /> <br /> == Downsize infrastructure ==<br /> <br /> We currently pay $100/month for hosting (private VM).<br /> <br /> A business account would be $200/year<br /> <br /> Downsides of normal business account<br /> <br /> * we'd (probably) lose attucks<br /> * fastcgi instead of mod_php<br /> * possible resource contention with other tennants of a shared machine.<br /> * What would happen with varnish?<br /> <br /> Decide not to make a decision tonight. We should try to get an<br /> understanding of OB's monthly expenditures and overall burn rate, so<br /> that we see what portion of expenses hosting is.<br /> <br /> We'd like to keep the current hosting package, and try to find a way<br /> to cover the cost, perhaps contributing some of the money ourselves.<br /> <br /> We compare load on three Mayfirst servers: attucks, boggs, and kerr<br /> (kerr is OccupyArlington's host).<br /> <br /> == secure communications ==<br /> <br /> We often use open wifi networks at meetings. It would be nice if<br /> there were a vpn service we could use (openvpn or similar). <br /> <br /> Steve to ask Ross/Lefty if they know any openvpn providers. Maybe<br /> Mayfirst has a vpn gateway.<br /> <br /> We could also set up an openvpn instance on attucks.<br /> <br /> == Go back to meeting at E5 ==<br /> <br /> We'll see if E5 is available for future obit meetings. Steve will<br /> make a space reservation.<br /> <br /> == Sunday Meeting ==<br /> <br /> Next working meeting is Sunday at 2:00pm, City Place. We're planning<br /> to upgrade wordpress on bostonoccupybanks.org.</div>
