Minutes

• Chapter missing officers
  • Kelton: I fixed that this morning, except for Shana
  • Mike: Which officers did you add?
  • Kelton: Just you, me, and Charlie. I also added the CSV of our membership spreadsheet
• Recruiter email
  • Mike: What do we want to say to this guy? Can we just ignore it, or do we have to politely turn it down
  • Charlie: I vote just ignore it
• Papertrail billing period
  • Cole: I just emailed them about that
  • Cole: Papertrail doesn't offer annual billing
  • Kelton: Yes it does. I just checked it this morning
  • Cole: Oh weird, I didn't see that anywhere
  • Charlie: Do we actually use papertrail?
  • Hemant: Yeah, Argo reports to it
  • Louis: Hemant gets the emails. We're using it to know if the website goes wrong
  • Louis: If someone has a better idea that papertrail feel free to pitch it
  • Hemant: I could set something up on a personal server
  • Louis: Well ok, the point is that we're not using someone's bootlegged system
  • Louis: If we roll our own system that just means the failure notification system is another thing that can fail
  • Hemant: I think the more pertinent thing is the keybase thing
• Keybase?
  • Louis: Keybase kinda sucks as a service. Also I kinda don't like them anymore ideologically, after the crypto thing
  • Louis: An alternative could be some kind of password manager, but I don't know of any that are free for multiple users
  • Charlie: We could just get a single username and share the password
  • Kelton: Semi-related, but I recently learned that the U is discontinuing unlimited storage for groups
  • Cole: What's wrong with just using a spreadsheet in Google?
  • Louis: The shared folder is such a mess of permissions, there's no way to know who has access to what
  • Kelton: Do we want to just abandon ship on that folder and start using the drive from now on?
  • Mike: Yeah, sounds good to me
  • Cole: So are we going with a shared spreadsheet?
  • Mike: I would prefer a different thing, if possible
  • Cole: I think bitwarden is only like a dollar a month
  • Louis: But then you would bear the brunt of making sure that gets payed for lol
  • Charlie: I believe passbolt is free forever with no strings
  • Louis: Wait what are the strings though? I don't trust that
  • Charlie: The string is that you have to host it yourself
  • Louis: Oh, that's fine then
  • Louis: While we're abandoning things, are we ever going to use bookstack or were we just lying to ourselves?
  • Hemant: Oh we're not using that
  • Hemant: If we are going to have knowledge hosted somewhere it should be somewhere simple like a txt file, not some php monstrosity
• Elections:
  • Louis: We should talk about officer elections
  • Louis: Marguerite is interested in being treasurer still, yes?
  • Marguerite: Yeah that's correct
