Minutes of 23rd E/AGM - Friday 5th May 2023

Remote Zoom meeting

Present

David, Stuart, Jonathan, Steve, Michael. Andy was asleep.

Minutes from Previous Meeting and Matters Arising

Alan Truelove appears to have paid an extra subscription by mistake on his standing order to the club. Efforts so far to contact him have failed. David said he has tried without success to contact him. We agree to call time on that.

Agenda Items

1. Edith

Are we paying too much for what we want (reciprocal system backups, secondary mail, DNS and occasional VPN)?

We discussed the fact that Edith is currently costing almost half of Alice's cost for barely as much of Alice's spec.

ACTION: JJ to investigate prices and alternative services.

2. Alice

We are overdue for an upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04, but the Jump VM host we are on doesn't support higher.

ACTION: JJ to contact Jump see what's needed to go to the latest LTS version.

3. Subscription

Jump have ended annual payments (at a discount) so we are now paying monthly. Price may therefore fluctuate on the month. David suggests an interim subscription now of £50 + VAT as we have enough on projected costs until October. We accepted this, and will review in a "proper" AGM for the Hatters year at that point.

AOB

Steve has solved the mail partition space issue.

David was having some problems with the mailing list but we think this is OK now.

The meeting when then brought to an end.
