Treasurer Charles Bovaird reported current cash assets of $16,148.25, consisting of total bank and postal accounts in the amount of $16,101.74 plus postage on hand of $46.51. Subtracting a liability of prepaid dues in the amount of $6,325.00 left a net equity of $9,823.25. He also reported current membership of 368.

Reviewing the upcoming commitments for presentations at DACS General Meetings resulted in the following: Jason Canty, a Data Specialist for Verizon Wireless,

on Broadband access and alternative technologies for cell phones for January
and Mike Kaltschnee on blogging for

February. Looking beyond those two commitments, various possible subjects were suggested and discussed, including: Adobe products, Science Horizons projects, “pop-up” digital pictures, Staple’s “Geek Squad,” genealogy, astronomy, digital image expansion/resolution and “My Favorites” shareware, freeware or utilities sessions.

Jim Scheef apprised the meeting of his progress in installing JotSpot on the Linux server at the DACS Resource Center and added that Jot is developing a way to make a page public, enabling his concept of making software available for reviews. Discussion followed on the investigation of running Kerio software on the Resource Center’s Windows server, or alternative software on the Linux server, as a mailing list server.

Also discussed was the necessity of upgrades for the server to be so utilized, and it was deemed advisable to consider obtaining a commercial grade Linux distribution for that purpose.
