EWEB Internet Update - Today I moved the DSL line to the 3N closet.
The significance being there is dark fiber in that room to the data
center - which is where the N building connects in. So Im 5 min and a
couple of connections from having it up on the technical side.
On the political end - I had sent a request to managers asking them if
they preferred wireless in the north building or wired. Almost no-one
has responded which I will assume means they dont care. My preference
is wired as well, as the connection security to the corp network was
mickey mouse anyways, and I'd prefer to put those that need Corp on VPN
from there.
I have had a request to enable some basic virus checking and content
filtering on the firewall for that connection, but you guys didnt want
to surf porn anyways right ? I dont block the geek sites, even though
some of the tools are dangerous, so I woulnt think this would interfere
with this group. outbound non-standard ports are not blocked either.
Sounds like no matter what day LUG chooses someone is going to have a
conflict ( Wife requires me to watch Survivor with her on Thursdays ).
I'll see what I can do about getting screen shots of calendars for those
rooms for the months to come, which may help. Since you have meetings
weekly you could alternate sites and/or days too.

It has been proposed (thank you, Mark Ellister) that EUGLUG could
reserve one of the classrooms at EWEB for our weekly meetings.
Advantages:
close to downtown and the University
ample free parking
large, clean space
tables, chairs, power
Disadvantages:
food and drink (nonalcoholic) only if we pay a cleanup fee.
Internet connection is not up yet.
Need a few months' lead time.
(What other advantages/disadvantages?)
The lack of Internet is obviously a deal breaker, so we won't change
anything until that's resolved. But Mark says he's working on it and
expects results soon.
So. Please discuss. I think we should move to EWEB, but I'm just
one member.
