1) Minutes of last meeting accepted.

incrementing the daily log file and just pile up the records in one file.

maintenance account.
b. We had some form of network problems over the past weekend. Traceroute
indicated problems in the CapuNet segment of the network. The problems
seem to clear up on Monday.
4) Security issues are still un-addressed, but we don't have any known problems.
Our vulnerabilities are limited.
5) The City budget process requires input from RockNet. Bob will submit a letter
to Mike, essentially asking for the same level of support as in the FY 2001
budget.
6) The group developed a list of activities for this calendar year, as follows.
a. Conduct education for citizens on web page authoring and related
tools and technology.
b. Redesign the RockNet web site. The City is planning to redesign theirs.
c. Acquire and install security tools (Black Ice).
d. Conduct a security audit.
e. Revive the calendar process. Perhaps add a self serve tool.
f. Acquire a digital camera for citizen groups to borrow. Will help in
posting more pictures from around the city. We know pictures bring
traffic. The camera needs to be simple to use and use standard floppy
diskettes.
g. Consider posting coupons for City activities and businesses.
h. Set up a Rockville Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
i. Consider setting up an "Ask Mr. Rockville".
j. Set up web based archiving for the NTList email list server.
