BTW - The domain is due to expire soon, it would be nice if someone else could pay for the two years this time 'round. Maybe a collection plate at the next meeting ;-). It ain't much, I think $15/year.

I happened to be browsing Atlassians Open Source page... started looking
at FatCow and liked what I saw. It's a wiki macro that runs HTML test
cases using HTTP Unit. I think that is a truly novel idea! I'd even do a
preso on it.

The only downside... FatCow (oh what a great name!) requires Confluence... which is their new Collaboration engine thingy... essentially a commercial Wiki (with some pretty slick features).
But then I look at the pricing... $4000. Yowza... but scroll further and
see:
--------------------------
Non-Profit License -- !!!FREE!!!
Confluence is also free for use by official non-profit organisations and
charities (proof of non-profit status is required).
Non-Profit licenses are designed for organisations which are non-profit,
non-government, non-academic and non-commercial in nature, that would
not otherwise be able to afford Confluence.
---------------------------
Seems to me the Tucson JUG could benefit from becoming a licensed non-profit in more ways than just free software, but that would be a good enough start in my book. ;-)
I'd put up $30/year dues to become a member of the Tucson JUG if that meant we'd have access to Confluence and JIRA, and maybe drinks/snacks at meetings, and if dues paid for the [now taken for granted, thanks Warner] hosting of tucson-jug.org, and maybe buy some small 'thank-you' tchotchke's for presenters (laser-engraved Tucson-JUG pens perhaps? http://www.logomark.com/ShowMyModelNumbers.asp?ShowLogo=&ProductID=798)
Thoughts? Anyone else willing to put up money where their java is? :-)
