ROCKNET MEETING MINUTES
October 14, 1999
Present: Mike Cannon, Stan Klein, Bob Ekman
Meeting called to order at 7:45 pm by Bob Ekman.
1. Minutes of the July and September meeting were tabled due to the lack of
members from those meetings. There was no meeting in August. In order to
get them accepted as official, Bob Ekman will conduct a vote via e-mail.
2. City Report:
a. There has been little activity on the City's web site -- very few
comments. Chris Medley continues to help as best she can.
b. We still don't have statistics for the past few months. The log files
are available on the server. There are several log folders. The
City's and RockNet's are now separate.
c. Resumes for the web administrator position are still being accepted.
Interviews will begin immediately.
d. Apparently, the list server was not delivering messages to people
inside the City network for almost 2 weeks. It is fixed now.
e. There are continued concerns with the speed of the Sailor Internet
connection. The City may get a DSL line as a temporary solution,
until the StarPower connections are established (over 1 year from now).
f. The City will be posting election results on Tuesday, November 2.
3. RockNet Report:
a. RockNet posted candidate responses to a citizens group's question.
It has created additional interest in RockNet.
b. FallsMead Homeowners Corporation web pages were loaded on the RockNet
web server.
c. It was suggested that City interns could help with creating citizen
group web pages.
4. The Twinbrook Recreation Center is opening Saturday, October 16.
There will be a computer room available for citizens to connect
with the Internet. Bob Ekman will attend the opening and leave
some RockNet brochures in the computer room.
Respectfully submitted,
Bob Ekman
