Oct 21 21:30:56 we have a basic setup now Oct 21 21:31:32 anyone wanting access to the server should email slofgren at slofgren@gemail.com Oct 21 21:31:48 he will set you up with basic access via ssh Oct 21 21:31:50 any news on when we are gonna get a new hd? xD Oct 21 21:31:55 no Oct 21 21:32:06 but slofgren and i have been discussing it Oct 21 21:32:09 and Oct 21 21:32:21 we are going to get this one set up first then Oct 21 21:32:44 image it to a new hd and see about getting that installed then Oct 21 21:32:59 it's hard for us to get physical access to the server Oct 21 21:33:02 so Oct 21 21:33:13 oh Oct 21 21:33:23 when we do we want to be ready to do all of what is needed at one time Oct 21 21:33:28 john4510: should that be slofgren@gmail.com ? Oct 21 21:33:35 without interupting the current setup Oct 21 21:33:40 yes Oct 21 21:33:53 where is it Oct 21 21:34:11 phoenix in some tech server facility Oct 21 21:34:22 where's the server located.....physically? Oct 21 21:34:33 but the lug is the one who has access Oct 21 21:34:36 you see Oct 21 21:34:45 oh Oct 21 21:34:54 the delvry lug donated the use of the server to us Oct 21 21:34:56 and Oct 21 21:34:56 hence the reason why it took so long to get set up? Oct 21 21:34:58 ah Oct 21 21:35:02 right Oct 21 21:35:18 they are the ones with physical access to the machine Oct 21 21:35:20 :) Oct 21 21:35:39 so, we have to work through them at their convenience Oct 21 21:35:45 but still Oct 21 21:35:52 it is a good deal for us Oct 21 21:36:01 free server access Oct 21 21:36:01 yeah Oct 21 21:36:02 maybe we need to buy a server? with our own access? Oct 21 21:36:03 :) Oct 21 21:36:23 paul928, that would be great the problem is $'s Oct 21 21:36:25 :) Oct 21 21:36:39 hosting costs too Oct 21 21:36:39 ok, next Oct 21 21:36:56 what does the ariza group need the server for? Oct 21 21:36:59 this wk, i'm going to buy the domain name Oct 21 21:37:38 paul928, we plan to use it for team support and helping to bring the lugs of the state closer together Oct 21 21:37:42 and Oct 21 21:37:55 anything else we can think of Oct 21 21:38:01 down the road Oct 21 21:38:10 back to the domain name Oct 21 21:38:22 we had already decided on Oct 21 21:38:34 azloco.org Oct 21 21:38:42 short and sweet Oct 21 21:38:48 i may also buy Oct 21 21:38:54 azloco.com Oct 21 21:39:10 is it available? both of them/ Oct 21 21:39:11 to round out our addresses Oct 21 21:39:14 yes Oct 21 21:39:48 domains are cheap Oct 21 21:39:53 so after i get them bought and set up we will be official Oct 21 21:39:58 now Oct 21 21:40:18 we need to start getting a front page going on the server Oct 21 21:40:22 note Oct 21 21:40:40 we are not going to use wordpress or drupal to start with because Oct 21 21:40:53 our hd is very small in size Oct 21 21:40:55 so Oct 21 21:41:19 we need to people with html experience to help in that area Oct 21 21:41:38 css Oct 21 21:41:46 ? Oct 21 21:41:51 yes we could use css Oct 21 21:41:56 the templates Oct 21 21:42:26 http://12.159.65.83/~johnc4510/ Oct 21 21:42:28 I don't know too much about webpages. CSS is like a form of html, right? Oct 21 21:42:40 that's what i used at that link to the server Oct 21 21:42:50 SloggerKhan, yes Oct 21 21:42:56 cascading style sheets are an improvement Oct 21 21:43:07 but i am kind of limited on my knowledge of html Oct 21 21:43:09 css is easy to learn Oct 21 21:43:13 its like html Oct 21 21:43:21 and there are great guides on w3c Oct 21 21:43:21 so i haven't gotten too far Oct 21 21:43:42 ok, well, we need some help in this area so Oct 21 21:43:52 i'm asking for some volunteers :) Oct 21 21:44:08 btw Oct 21 21:44:16 help in what area Oct 21 21:44:18 this doesn't have to be really fancy Oct 21 21:44:34 Polygon89, at setting up a front server page for the team Oct 21 21:44:39 css for server Oct 21 21:44:52 for the intro page Oct 21 21:44:54 a couple of templets Oct 21 21:45:12 where we will link to other pages Oct 21 21:45:13 like Oct 21 21:45:20 Oh, Oct 21 21:45:21 the ed team support page Oct 21 21:45:25 I was messing around. Oct 21 21:45:28 our team wiki Oct 21 21:45:34 I made a mockup, but I don't really like it. Oct 21 21:45:36 and other things Oct 21 21:45:43 oh Oct 21 21:45:50 I think we'd talked about it last week. Oct 21 21:46:13 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=584696 Oct 21 21:46:27 It makes me think of standardized tests. Oct 21 21:46:27 ok, kennymc0_ word seems to have a lot of knowledge about webpages you think he might be interested? Oct 21 21:47:27 slofgren, yeah, it's not exactly what i had in mind but nice all the same Oct 21 21:47:44 hmm Oct 21 21:47:45 maybe Oct 21 21:48:10 ok, well, i'll try to get some help on this project during the next wk Oct 21 21:48:19 hopefully Oct 21 21:48:40 by next meeting we'll have some kind of project started Oct 21 21:49:01 anyone have anything else they want to discuss? Oct 21 21:49:16 john4510-have you considered outside hosting? I'n using nearlyfreespeech.net and the cost is for me is about a dollar/month including a mysql server Oct 21 21:50:01 that's not bad, can you email me the particulars at johnc4510-cox@ubuntu.net Oct 21 21:50:04 ? Oct 21 21:50:04 They seem to host several Ubuntu related sites Oct 21 21:50:08 k Oct 21 21:50:12 paul928: What is the useage? Oct 21 21:50:57 paul928, did you get the above? Oct 21 21:51:11 monthly bandwidth consumption Oct 21 21:51:21 they charge for storage .001 per MB and bandwidth, .001/ MB Oct 21 21:51:34 ah Oct 21 21:51:36 ok Oct 21 21:52:00 $.001 or 0.001?

Oct 21 21:52:16 s/shot/shoot Oct 21 21:52:18 But they run FreeBSD on their servers that are located in the Phoenix area. Oct 21 21:52:35 well, that's at least open source Oct 21 21:52:36 so Oct 21 21:52:41 it would be ok Oct 21 21:52:45 1 cent per MB Oct 21 21:53:11 i know that drupal is around 50mb by itself Oct 21 21:53:34 wordpress might be a little less Oct 21 21:53:36 not sure Oct 21 21:53:42 and 1 cent per day for the mysql server, I'm hosting several Drupal sites there Oct 21 21:54:19 paul928, can you give me a link to their page so i can look it over?
