07-25-101 17:06:28 <mandie> under way, e.g. the Ceilidh vote, the DB2 upgrade, the web interface, my articles from About, and so on
07-25-101 17:06:37 <mandie> and get everyone caught up
07-25-101 17:07:28 <mandie> let's quickly touch on those topics
07-25-101 17:07:40 <mandie> logging?
07-25-101 17:07:53 <Rat-Salad> of course Sector is
07-25-101 17:07:59 <mandie> Ceilidh vote?
07-25-101 17:08:06 <mandie> any news on that?
07-25-101 17:08:32 <Rat-Salad> Sector?
07-25-101 17:09:37 <Longstaff> i support Ceilidh - and am already on record regarding that
07-25-101 17:10:02 <mandie> thx Longstaff...I think Sector was the one that collected the votes from the members
07-25-101 17:10:47 <Rat-Salad> I heard not many people voted :(
07-25-101 17:10:49 <mandie> let's move on to the DB2 upgrade until Sector returns
07-25-101 17:11:03 <mandie> do we know where we stand with the upgrade?
07-25-101 17:11:23 <madodel0> What upgrade?
07-25-101 17:11:33 <Longstaff> db2 version 5.2 is within the fixpack window
07-25-101 17:12:10 <mandie> madodel0: I don't know if he was referring to the "actual" licence upgrade or db2 and server status
07-25-101 17:12:14 <Longstaff> there's enoough [including net.data] available for download from the ibm website
07-25-101 17:12:19 <mandie> license that is :)
07-25-101 17:12:58 <mandie> Longstaff: you have mailed db2 to the appropriate party?
07-25-101 17:13:16 <mandie> or how are we handling this....
07-25-101 17:13:31 <Longstaff> mandie: not yet......we haven't worked out arrangements
07-25-101 17:13:44 <mandie> what type of arrangements need to be worked out?
07-25-101 17:13:58 <Sector> Only votes I ever got where from Walter, mandie, madodel and Hoss (all yes)
07-25-101 17:14:20 <mandie> then I say we purchase it
07-25-101 17:14:27 <Longstaff> Sector:  please add my "aye" for the record
07-25-101 17:14:33 <mandie> we've danced around long enough
07-25-101 17:15:16 <madodel0> As much as I hate web forums, I guess we have to bite the bullet and install it.  i agree with mandie
07-25-101 17:15:20 <Rat-Salad> the survey to find out the best time to hold the WD meetings is ready whenever someone wants to announce it
07-25-101 17:15:30 <Longstaff> my workgroup edition licenses and allows multiple users though......it might be unnecessary to spend any more money
07-25-101 17:15:32 <mandie> madodel: I'm not fond of them either
07-25-101 17:16:00 <Sector> That makes three of us
07-25-101 17:16:05 <mandie> longstaff: "might be unnecessary".....
07-25-101 17:16:18 <madodel0> Well I sent a draft to VOICE Admin a few weeks ago.  Just give me the URL and I'll send that
07-25-101 17:16:36 <mandie> Longstaff: can you find out something for "certain" so that we can do what we need to do within the next 2 weeks?
07-25-101 17:16:40 <Longstaff> from memory i think my license allows up to 5 users.....i haven't looked at that for a while
07-25-101 17:17:12 <Longstaff> i have the box right here.....lemme see if i can find something conclusive quickly
07-25-101 17:17:22 <mandie> thank you
07-25-101 17:17:25 <madodel0> I think Walter has plans for all 5 forums allowed under the license.  i think VOICE should get it's own license
07-25-101 17:17:47 <mandie> I disagree!
07-25-101 17:18:06 <mandie> VOICE is paying for this....and VOICE should have one forum 
07-25-101 17:18:30 <madodel0> ?
07-25-101 17:18:48 <Rat-Salad> now why does WarpDoctor need 5 different forums?
07-25-101 17:18:49 <mandie> if we see that the VOICE forum isn't utilized than it can always be converted so something else
07-25-101 17:19:07 <madodel0> All would be VOICE related, but for different purposes.  Newsletter, WarpDoctor, VOICE General, etc
07-25-101 17:19:14 <mandie> ah, ok :)
07-25-101 17:19:30 <mandie> then why did you say voice should get its "own" license?
07-25-101 17:19:59 <madodel0> In reference to Longstaff's offer to let us use some of his licensed forums.
07-25-101 17:20:09 <madodel0> I think Walter wants to use all 5
07-25-101 17:20:28 <mandie> I thought he was referring to the db2 license...duh
07-25-101 17:20:59 <madodel0> Oh, I'm sorry we are discussing several things at the same time I guess
07-25-101 17:21:24 <mandie> I know...it was a bit confusing :)..
07-25-101 17:21:41 <mandie> 1. Ceilidh license
07-25-101 17:21:43 <mandie> :)
07-25-101 17:21:54 <mandie> shall we have Peter purchase it?
07-25-101 17:22:44 <madodel0> Aye
07-25-101 17:22:53 <Sector> Guess so
07-25-101 17:23:09 <mandie> then he can just u/l to the site
07-25-101 17:24:08 <Longstaff> i have in my hand the proof of entitlement: 1 server + up to 4 users
07-25-101 17:24:31 <mandie> good
07-25-101 17:24:58 <mandie> Longstaff: please contact Hoss and ask him what you need to do to get this into the proper hands within the week
07-25-101 17:25:00 <mandie> thx :)
07-25-101 17:25:54 <Longstaff> mandie:  will do, thanx
07-25-101 17:26:02 <mandie> thank you :)
07-25-101 17:29:39 <mandie> ok, email sent to Peter requesting purchase of Ceilidh
07-25-101 17:29:42 <mandie> 2. DB2 
07-25-101 17:29:48 <mandie> as discussed....
07-25-101 17:30:04 <mandie> Longstaff has license for 1 server and up to 4 users
07-25-101 17:30:24 <mandie> he is going to contact Abel to determine procedure for getting into proper hands within the week
07-25-101 17:30:40 <mandie> 3. Walter's articles from About
07-25-101 17:30:56 <mandie> I don't know what he wanted us to discuss on this subject??? any ideas?
07-25-101 17:31:10 <Rat-Salad> yeah
07-25-101 17:31:14 <mandie> shoot
07-25-101 17:31:18 <Sector> Making them available¨
07-25-101 17:31:32 <mandie> I thought that was going to be a "given" ???
07-25-101 17:32:00 <Longstaff> once we create the database table, we're going to need something to put in it.......those sound ideal
07-25-101 17:32:08 <Rat-Salad> I have all of the about.com articles on my hard drive... and will start "porting" them.. when the current project I'm working on is finished
07-25-101 17:32:54 <mandie> what do you plan on "porting" them to? the database? web site? explain plz
07-25-101 17:34:03 <Rat-Salad> what I mean is... putting them to the current WD site layout and making any other changes that might be nesseccary
07-25-101 17:34:18 <mandie> index etc...ok, thx :)
07-25-101 17:34:31 <mandie> Rat: estimate of when this might happen?
07-25-101 17:34:39 <mandie> errr...will happen :)
07-25-101 17:35:38 <Rat-Salad> I can't really give a honest estimate... work comes first... ill start between work projects
07-25-101 17:35:57 <mandie> k
07-25-101 17:36:13 <mandie> anything else we need to discuss tonight?
07-25-101 17:36:31 <Longstaff> the files in the context of the database initative i won't go into at this time in detail
07-25-101 17:36:55 <mandie> wise idea :)
07-25-101 17:37:00 <mandie> we'll work on that when the time comes
07-25-101 17:37:38 <Longstaff> i created an experimental table in 1999.....i have to find where i put it :)
07-25-101 17:38:12 <mandie> ok, we've accomplished something in 40 minutes..so I think I'll go spend a few minutes with hubby before he leaves for work...
07-25-101 17:38:26 <mandie> thank you all for coming and your input!
07-25-101 17:38:30 <mandie> carry on :)
07-25-101 17:38:37 <Longstaff> actually, we got through quite a bit
07-25-101 17:42:57 <Longstaff> while the logs are running, is there any further warpdoctor discussion?
07-25-101 17:43:30 <Rat-Salad> meetings sure have been short lately
07-25-101 17:43:54 <Chrissy> nothing wrong with that if things get accomplished
07-25-101 17:48:55 <Longstaff> i just thought of a question regarding db2 on the server.......it's entirely unconnected to www until specifically, and restrictively enabled, but i know abel has a policy of caution about installing stuff on it
07-25-101 17:53:13 <Longstaff> if there's no further WD stuff, i move we adjourn
07-25-101 17:55:00 <Rat-Salad> did you all see my comment about the meeting time survey?
07-25-101 17:55:21 <Longstaff> rat - give me a quick recap?
07-25-101 17:55:32 <Chrissy> you said it at an unopertune moment Jer
07-25-101 17:55:58 <Rat-Salad> yeah I did say it at the wrong time'
07-25-101 17:56:18 <Rat-Salad> the survey is ready whenever someone wants to announce it
07-25-101 17:56:56 <Longstaff> rat - how about hitting the mailinglist with that
07-25-101 17:57:48 <Rat-Salad> I can do that sometime tomorrow
07-25-101 17:58:22 <Longstaff> kewl - sounds good to me
