Oct 28 21:16:28 <johnc4510>     first
Oct 28 21:16:41 <johnc4510>     The server is in place for us to use for education and support of the team. Now, as far as education goes, we invisioned using the server to help teach the team members the technology and inner workings of a server. Also to help us in learning html and other applications used for the design of web pages. For the support end of it, we want to link to pages that will be usefull to new and prospective members. Both of these things will 
Oct 28 21:16:41 <johnc4510>     take time and support of the membership. To begin with members can ask slofgren for access to the server to set up a page that links to other pages they may have somewhere else. Like a blog or something. You can ask for access by emailing slofgren at slofgren@gmail.com You must be a registered member of the AZ mailing list and also the AZ launchpad team.
Oct 28 21:17:04 <johnc4510>     .
Oct 28 21:17:23 <Polygon89>     lol

Oct 28 21:17:40 <br24>  slofgren, can I have 7GB of space?
Oct 28 21:17:41 <slofgren>      johnc4510: you get your type on good

Oct 28 21:18:05 <johnc4510>     one more thing
Oct 28 21:18:16 <johnc4510>     Now, after slofgren speaks a little bit about the direction of the team, I want to discuss word's offer of hosting thru his hosting network, and paul928's idea of outside hosting thru https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/.

Oct 28 21:18:51 <slofgren>      direction of team..I am not ready for that
Oct 28 21:19:01 <johnc4510>     slofgren, do you have any announcements then

Oct 28 21:20:29 <slofgren>      enigmastrat: I didn't see but i do not regularly check the forum
Oct 28 21:20:43 <enigmastrat>   I'll drop in a link in a sec

Oct 28 21:21:02 <kjander79>     not really
Oct 28 21:21:04 <johnc4510>     enigmastrat, cool
Oct 28 21:21:16 <slofgren>      any way if we get together people dedicated to design and upkeep our web i can add them to the az_webteam on the server
Oct 28 21:21:16 <br24>  alright...
Oct 28 21:21:19 <br24>  I have some skills
Oct 28 21:21:22 <kjander79>     i could get an html for dummies book.. about the extent of my webskllz
Oct 28 21:21:43 <Polygon89>     lol
Oct 28 21:21:57 <greenlegacy>   I have just a little html and css experience, but I haven't been able to make anything that looks nice
Oct 28 21:22:00 <johnc4510>     enigmastrat, are you willing to help us set up and design a main web page on a new server?
Oct 28 21:22:07 <tyche> I could look at the pictures in the html for dummies book.
Oct 28 21:22:07 <slofgren>      I do have something to talk on....
Oct 28 21:22:15 <br24>  Im in the process of redesigning my website
Oct 28 21:22:20 <johnc4510>     slofgren, kk
Oct 28 21:22:21 <enigmastrat>   johnc, sure
Oct 28 21:22:28 <enigmastrat>   link: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=47712&d=1193283076
Oct 28 21:22:30 <slofgren>      the server in its current state is more than likly a temporary use
Oct 28 21:22:38 <johnc4510>     enigmastrat, i'll get with you after the meeting to talk some
Oct 28 21:22:42 <johnc4510>     :)
Oct 28 21:22:43 <enigmastrat>   ok
Oct 28 21:22:50 <slofgren>      we may need to look inot another server later on
Oct 28 21:23:09 <johnc4510>     yes. i have a small prepared text about that
Oct 28 21:23:13 <slofgren>      I am not certain that this arangment is to our best interest
Oct 28 21:23:24 <johnc4510>     For my part, I held back on buying the domain name this last week due to some difference of opinion with the DeLUG group in Phoenix. I wasn't sure if these differences would or would not lead to a delay of our server project. For now, we have come to an agreement, and we will continue on with this project. So this coming week, I will buy the domain name. AZLoco.org
Oct 28 21:23:35 <br24>  enigmastrat, did you do any of the graphics?
Oct 28 21:23:44 *       johnc4510 now
Oct 28 21:23:46 <enigmastrat>   I do
Oct 28 21:23:59 <enigmastrat>   I did
Oct 28 21:24:03 <br24>  so you did the ones on your link?
Oct 28 21:24:04 <johnc4510>     for now we are going to use the resource, but look around for alternatives
Oct 28 21:24:11 <enigmastrat>   ha, I can talk too I swear
Oct 28 21:24:15 *       johnc4510 is that correct?
Oct 28 21:24:25 <johnc4510>     hang on guys
Oct 28 21:24:33 <enigmastrat>   not all of them
Oct 28 21:24:41 <slofgren>      others may have noticed strange accounts on the server develope
Oct 28 21:24:47 <enigmastrat>   the tux is a mash of ubuntu and tux
Oct 28 21:24:49 <slofgren>      those are not by this group
Oct 28 21:24:59 *       johnc4510 slofgren has the floor please
Oct 28 21:25:08 <br24>  please go slofgren 
Oct 28 21:25:19 <slofgren>      the server was loanded to the group for the groups needs but seems to be taken back some
Oct 28 21:25:43 <slofgren>      it is now being used for spare purposes not fit for devlugs servers
Oct 28 21:26:01 <johnc4510>     which we didn't anticipate
Oct 28 21:26:12 <slofgren>      we are stil thankful but may need to change sometimesoon
Oct 28 21:26:16 <br24>  so we need to look for something/someplace else?
Oct 28 21:26:18 <slofgren>      just a word of warnign
Oct 28 21:26:20 <johnc4510>     yes
Oct 28 21:26:29 <slofgren>      br24: in time
Oct 28 21:26:44 *       bender_ (n=bender@ip68-3-77-199.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined #ubuntu-arizona
Oct 28 21:26:48 <slofgren>      I think we are good with this server til next summer
Oct 28 21:26:50 <johnc4510>     so, the server is there to develop, but sometime in the future we may be moving
Oct 28 21:26:52 *       bender_ is now known as runlevel
Oct 28 21:27:06 <slofgren>      that is all for me
Oct 28 21:27:08 <johnc4510>     kk
Oct 28 21:27:11 <johnc4510>     ty slofgren 
Oct 28 21:27:13 <Polygon89>     what are tthey doing with the server?
Oct 28 21:27:17 <kjander79>     do we have any kind of budget for server equipment?
Oct 28 21:27:18 <Polygon89>     that we didnt anticipate?
Oct 28 21:27:31 <slofgren>      adding users to teach Redhat
Oct 28 21:27:34 <slofgren>      no joke
Oct 28 21:27:34 <johnc4510>     they have put some accounts on it that we didn't know they were going to
Oct 28 21:27:41 <Netdoctor>     heh
Oct 28 21:27:41 <br24>  RH is dumb
Oct 28 21:27:47 <slofgren>      account on an ubuntu server to learn redhat
Oct 28 21:27:52 <johnc4510>     crazy
Oct 28 21:27:58 <johnc4510>     to my thinking
Oct 28 21:28:00 <slofgren>      br24: no redhat is ass backwards
Oct 28 21:28:08 <Netdoctor>     runlevel is my coworker..mind if he sits in too? 
Oct 28 21:28:20 <tyche> Hi, runlevel
Oct 28 21:28:22 <johnc4510>     Netdoctor, no   that's fine
Oct 28 21:28:22 <Polygon89>     wait...waht?
Oct 28 21:28:28 <Polygon89>     its an ubuntu server
Oct 28 21:28:30 <johnc4510>     yes
Oct 28 21:28:33 <Polygon89>     but they are teaching redhat with it?
Oct 28 21:28:34 <Polygon89>     lolol
Oct 28 21:28:37 <slofgren>      Polygon89: yep
Oct 28 21:28:37 <johnc4510>     lol
Oct 28 21:28:44 <Polygon89>     why dont they use...red hat?
Oct 28 21:28:46 <Polygon89>     lol
Oct 28 21:28:48 <johnc4510>     that's why we questioned it
Oct 28 21:28:53 <slofgren>      my first thought
Oct 28 21:28:54 <Polygon89>     and does it really effect us?
Oct 28 21:29:00 <Polygon89>     cause they are using seperate accounts...
Oct 28 21:29:06 <slofgren>      just a worng purpose
Oct 28 21:29:07 <johnc4510>     and the fact that we thought it was for our team use only
Oct 28 21:29:07 <Polygon89>     unless they are gonna use the whole hd or something
Oct 28 21:29:11 <Polygon89>     ah.
Oct 28 21:29:14 <slofgren>      it was donated for our use
Oct 28 21:29:47 <enigmastrat>   What kind of hardware is it?
Oct 28 21:29:54 <slofgren>      guys I have to go...I am sorry I have nbot been participating
Oct 28 21:30:05 <johnc4510>     now, we don't want to make the lug mad because we eventually want to work with then on promoting open source and the lugs of the state
