Topics:
* CSuite Progress
* CCN Upgrade
* Summer Students and Other Developments
_________________________________________________________________
CSuite Progress
Bugs continue to be swatted, as we near completion of 1.0 Beta 2
Andrew will prepare a prioritized list of documents that need revision
and update.
James will prioritize the Bug List and finalize it with David Trueman.
Generally bugs first, robustness second but not forgotten.
Andrew will collect and prioritize a list of CCN Issues. Input from
the affected committees will be needed.
Where documentation can be expected to change soon, or is not yet
ready in both languages, we will put in links to documents at
Chebucto, rather than include incomplete or out-of-date documents in
the distribution.

CCN Upgrade
New plans for CCN upgrade
1.
Ultra-Sparc server for www.chebucto.ns.ca
Running CSuite 1.0 / Solaris
The easiest part of the load to shift :-)
Then move mail
Fund-raise for next phase
2.
New modems and additional disk space
Run two servers in "parallel"
Allow dial-in to some users
Shared files between old and new systems
Test CSuite 1.0 Solaris under active load
3.
Migrate some more modems and some disks to new server
Temporarily, to allow software upgrade to old host
Performance will be reduced while old host is off-line
4.
Upgrade old host to Solaris, CSuite 1.0
Probably a couple of days
Some testing will be needed
5.
Split load between two systems
Load balancing will be a fine art :-)
Final configuration will depend on performance
We plan to have the upgrade as the main topic for next meeting.

Summer Students and Other Developments
David Murdoch reported on a number of issues which will have an impact
over the summer.
* A new CSuite site will be established at Truro. This will be
established as a test site, and the strategy is that they will
learn about CSuite by installing and configuring it, with our
help. They will probably run through the set-up process twice, to
get their volunteers up to speed and to provide us some feedback.
* We are again participating in the Wired Nova Scotia (WINS) project
which is being run by the University College of Cape Breton. Brian
and Phil will participate in this as student workers over the
summer.
* Additional student(s) are being sought to work with the CCN office
functions. This will build some experience, and provide
documentation for the office functions, including Blaine's tasks.
* We are exploring the possibility of a partnership to produce the
CCN Manual. The Manual needs to be restored to accessibility on
CCN, and we need to explore better mastering methods.
* Since we will not likely be able to bring the processing for Disk
Space Subscription on stream before the upgrade, we are
considering linking additional quota as an additional "Supporting
Membership" benefit. This is an important fund-raising
opportunity.
