- | * not yet: | + | |
- | * need to get full control of DNS (Michael Paoli following up on this) | + | |
- | * redundancy/ | + | |
- | -Can we move forward without the old broke mysql stuff? | + | |
- | * yes and no: | + | |
- | * yes - we've got beta.balug.org. - can put it anywhere we want and use it as long as we want | + | |
- | * no: | + | |
- | * unless we want a gaping hole in BALUG' | + | |
- | * we can't smoothly transition the lists without doing some well timed and coordinated mysql extracts and loads. | + | |

- | * Haven' | + | |

- | -How can we implement an RSVP system for events? | + | |
- | * simple e-mail alias? | + | |
- | * snazzier web form, with reminder option(s), etc.? | + | |
- | * we probably want to avoid some 3rd party system that folks may not particularly trust and/or that may have terms some or many may find objectionable (e.g. many folks don't want their e-mail addresses made available to yet another 3rd party site that may end up leading to spam or unwanted promotional e-mails, etc.) | + | |

- | * What is our goal... driving meeting attendance or supporting local causes? | + | |
- | * How to ensure that we don't double book speaking slots? | + | |
- | * Update [[BALUG Speaker Coordination]] (note that that page may eventually move - but for the time being, that's where it is) - that's what it's there for. If one doesn' | + | |
- | * also use < | + | |
- | * Best Practices Guide for Speakers | + | |
- | * did a quite good page of that before; it's still to be extracted from the old BALUG wiki stuff (and no, I don't feel like writing up all that work again, but if someone else wants to, feel free; we can always reintegrate useful bits from the older materials into a newer writeup once we've retrieved the older materials) | + | |

- | * Get (more) detailed information (text blurbs, etc.) for upcoming confirmed speaker engagements | + | |
- | * update website with the above | + | |
- | * continue to tweak and improve our dining experience and coordination (cat herding and menu improvements, | + | |
- | * continue to line up speaker(s)/ | + | |

- | * control of and (eventual) migration of DNS (e-mailed domain registrant on 2007-09-08 & 2007-09-30; need to follow-up as necessary to gain control of registrant and DNS delegation information ... without being excessively pesky about it) | + | |
- | * lists and list archives (including passwords, names, preferences, | + | |
- | * lots of wiki pages that were functional there | + | |
- | * presenter information, | + | |
- | * meeting writeups/ | + | |
- | * past approximately 3 years of BALUG history | + | |
- | * (most) all the HTML page stuff | + | |
- | * information for speakers | + | |
- | * speaker coordination resources | + | |
- | * spiffier information on directions to the meeting location | + | |
- | * other useful | + | |

- | * get regular off-site automated backups in place (covering absolutely everything BALUG has hosted on DreamHost.com., if feasible - e.g. including stuff that DreamHost.com only allows access to via MySQL client) | + | |
- | * have some manual backups of some(/ | + | |

- | * Mailman (list software) is installed on sf-lug.com. box, but isn't configured yet | + | |
- | * BALUG needs to create its own e-mail infrastructure off of 208.96.15.254 (not yet in place, other than the sf-lug.com. box has been reconfigured so it's not using 208.96.15.254 for SF-LUG / default e-mail on the sf-lug.com. box). Note also that BALUG is also (at least thus far) using some of the SF-LUG.com e-mail infrastructure (most notably a bunch of forwarding aliases). | + | |
- | * wiki - sf-lug.com. has a wiki configured for it (and BALUG is using some of that) ... but don't yet have such configured separately for BALUG (under it's own IP address and DNS names and such) - so, the BALUG stuff that' | + | |
- | * DreamHost.com content extraction | + | |
- | * Any PHP and MySQL volunteers? (As of 2007-09-24 we've started to get at least some volunteer(s) to step forward on that.) BALUG could use assistance/consulting advice with PHP and MySQL; that could aid transition from the old DreamHost.com hosted site of www.balug.org. and lists.balug.org. | + | |
- | * List archives and subscribers, | + | |
- | * automate backups of this data, as complete as feasible | + | |

- | * DNS phased migration off of DreamHost.com | + | |
- | * have created new.balug.org. and beta.balug.org. (including slave(s)) | + | |
- | * start phased change of balug.org. (get registrar control, add NS records for balug.org.) | + | |
- | * add slaves for balug.org. (have queued up good volunteer slave resources once we can allow them to do zone transfers) | + | |
- | * continue to maintain balug.org. zone in mode compatible with DreamHost.com until fully migrated off of DreamHost.com (work in progress - currently being done with (to be new) primary master on ns1.balug.org.) | + | |
