7/27 Minutes from politburo: We should migrate email to Google Apps instead
of hosting it ourselves, since managing the mail server takes up too
much of VP's time website needs: *RSS *calendar *static pages
\_ Why is CSUA mail such a problem? Please discuss?
\_ Bahahahahaha. CSUA should just outsource UNIX to India.
While you're at it, move motd to Yahoo Groups, irc+ntalk to Google
Talk, and picture hosting to Flickr. I'll miss alt.binaries.erotic.*
but that's the price we have to pay, I guess.
\_ politburo, i will run email for you if you want. i have
a decade experience doing it.
\_ who are you?
\_ #2.New()
\_ whois number.1
\_ Relevant discussion happening on csua@csua mail list
\_ summary: vaheder rejects outsourcing and wants to use the the
antiquated light saber. the force in vaheder is strong.
there is hope in this one.
\_ summary: tom[holub] says sysadm for <10 alumni isn't going to
be very interesting. however, Amazon donated EC2 and cloud
computing could be the future, and it'll probably be more
fun using a canon than a light sabre.

\_ If we had a filer, I am of the opinion that much of the pain of
keeping our services up and running services would be mitigated. Most
of our uptime problems were because of crashy keg. Another server to
run VMWare e-sex or whatever it's called now would be nice, but no
doubt out of our reach
\_ Who are you? I can probably wrangle a filer to donate. -ausman
\_ I am politburo. I am root. I am nobody. |
