The lounge site has been down a lot ever since the storage requirements got huge: >2 GB for the once-tiny database due to spammers. Whenever the server (data center) loses power, which has happened a lot lately, someone needs to scrape together disk space so that Zope/Plone will start up. Even freeing space isn't working now, and I neither know how to fix it nor care to spend much time finding out. Is anyone interested in bringing lounge.cs back or making/maintaining a simple webpage for UMLUG? We can always redirect to a static page.
I think the Paypal button is still tied to whoever was maintaining that site in 2007. I'm pretty sure no current students have access to that web space or the Paypal e-mail; I've just requested write access for the website, so I can at least take the old button down. I'm the treasurer as far as SGA is concerned. (We have some money this year for hardware upgrades.) Things UMLUG does: 1) mailing list 2) http://mirror.umoss.org/ 3) basic web/DNS hosting for a small number of student groups. I think the last in-person meeting was about a year and a half ago. We haven't made any attempt at selecting officers for the coming school year. If anyone is interested in bringing UMLUG back, post here or e-mail [email protected]! - Ken
