(clug-talk) Infrastructure - CLUG Server

[Cameron Nikitiuk]

Just a quick note to the executive.

I know there has been some talk about establishing a CLUG server in the 
past and I am not sure if anything else has been done since then.  I do 
have a few ideas for it if I might.

I was thinking that perhaps instead of having a physical CLUG library 
that we could put it online and people could download from there.  This 
could also work as a respository for monthly meeting related things 
(i.e. Programs mentioned during the presentations).  Perhaps it could 
have the potential to evolve into a local mirror for downloads or could 
look at hosting a few local projects.  I guess in a way it would almost 
be similar t /.

With that in mind I would like to make the following offer.  I have a 
staff shopping day coming up at work in which I get a 10% discount on 
electronics and a 15% discount on office supplies.  This offer IS 
NOT...I REPEAT IS NOT open to individual members but to the entity CLUG 
for a purchase they may need.  I had a situation happen recently with a 
family member and got in crap from my GM.  I also had a situation where 
a CLUG member came in and asked for a discount because he said he knew 
me.  I would have to be present for the purchase and would need the 
money in advance as I can not afford to bank roll a purchase.

I do get a regular discount for office supplies and would be more than 
happy to pick things up for CLUG if you wish but I would need to 
reimbursed pretty close to the purchase time.  Again...offer good to 
CLUG only and NOT to individual members.  If anyone comes in asking for 
a discount I can get in big poo.

If there are any needs I can help out with, any executive members are 
welcome to contact me offline.
