Notice of intent to propose motion.

headers Paul Elliott | 2 Oct 2006 17:14

As a  courtesy to those who will be attending the ALG board meeting
Thursday, I note my intent to make the following motion:

Motion for ALG web space for miscellaneous files.

Whereas, ALG's drupal content manager now has a bug which prevents
uploading large binary files;

Whereas, our system administrator may fix this problem in the future;

Whereas, a number of speakers to ALG have contributed their slides;
but due to the bug their work can not be uploaded to ALG's web space;

Whereas, some ALG slides now reside on Paul Elliott's private web space;

Therefore, be it resolved, that as a temporary solution the following be done:

	A temporary account or accounts for board members be created;

	That account have write access to a special directory on ALG's
	server;

	That account have write access using scp, ssh, and sftp to the
	above directory;

	The above directory be served by ALG's web server so that
		files uploaded to that directory have an URL and 
		be down loadable using HTTP format from ALG's server;

	That ALG's board members be cautioned to use this account only
	for ALG matters.
