[clue-admin] CLUE steering meeting

[dennisjperkins at comcast.net]

We might have a second meeting too. Regarding our current setup, I know we have an email server and a web server and something written in PHP. Drupal is written in PHP and needs a database; either MySQL or PostgreSQL will do. If we migrate, what needs to be moved? 

I don't know what Sean's setup is yet. That is why I asked him to provide information. I think he hosts for a number of businesses, hopefully from some business facility. He uses Proxmox for VMs, and he said it has a Drupal module. 

I've been experimenting with Drupal, but I should ask if Greg would be willing to get involved. I want certain people to be able to make their own edits: the speaker coordinator and Dave Anselmi are two that should be able to. I want forums. Dave Anselmi wants a blog and it can do that too, but I don't know if I want every member to have one. There are a number of modules that can be added but not everything needs to be done at once. 

I want to see about having the forums and mailing lists work together. That might be the most difficult part. 

I want a set of procedures drawn up for maintaining the site, so it is easier for anyone to take over.

Dennis and folks: 

Will not be able to attend since that is also Thanksgiving weekend. I would suggest a non-holiday oriented weekend for those who are desiring to attend. 

On the hosting with Sean Perry, could some details be provided for insight and discussion? Is this a colo in a basement or garage setup or something more formal like VPSLink is/was with Spry or <fill in the blank here>? 

On Drupal I presume that would be probably Greg Knaddison leading this with a few others since IIRC he was the one pitching Drupal for that topic earlier this year. Some more thoughts and insight there would be welcomed. 

TIA.
