DRAFT Please direct all design inquiries to the members list.

  • the church has signed up for Comcast! Eta ~50 days.
  • new network infrastructure is actively in progress.
    • wired connections
    • chaos VPN
  • currently running shell server in the space (email [email protected] for an account)
  • soon to be running transparent apt proxy. It will intercept almost all unencrypted requests for Debian, Ubuntu, and mint packages and store the results locally. This will be paired with mirroring of repos done during off hours to (midnight to 6am). Meaning you will be able to run updates in less than a decade and without changing settings. There will be non-debian-based distros supported as well. There will also be locally accessible rsync, ftp, and http repos for those that want to skip the proxy.
  • there will not be any hosting of websites to the interwebs avaiable until after comcast is installed and broken in.
  • there will be tos for all the communal services. Mostly just the usual disclaimers of liability and various forms of "don't be a dick". They will not in any way assert ownership over anything passing though or residing on the servers. """Discus on members list!"""
  • hardware required for remaining servers:
    • RAM : specs here
    • HDD : all SATA, faster is better but 3Gb/s is enough.
      • 2.5":
      • 3.5":
    • Sound absorption: Any fiberglass furnace filters would be appreciated. They will be used as air filters on a custom server muffler. Any ~19" quiet fans would also be apreciated.

Treasurer's Report

Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for October 2014: File:HacDC Financials 2014 10.pdf. We gained Don Jones as a new member. We lost Blake Wintermute, Christopher Hermance, Harry Detwiler, and Abraham Abbas. We have 41 dues-paying members in good standing and 6 dues-waived members.

Project Awesome

Here is the Project Awesome spreadsheet for October: File:HacDC PA Projects-2014 10.pdf. We continue to have to dip into savings to pay our rent, so no dividend this month. :(

Project LASER is in suspended status and needs to report this month to avoid cancellation. Project SPACECAM should technically have been cancelled but I believe its liaison made a September report that was unrecorded in the minutes so it will have another week to fill in the minutes before its status is re-evaluated.
