Take Our Survey -- Please (Apr 10, 2003)

The Linux Computer Usage Survey 2003 Spring, created by Jeff Goddard, has now been put into online form. The survey will be ready for the public as soon as we finish wrestling with LDAP.

Website and Wiki work (Apr 10, 2003)

JaredA and I have been working hard on our web presence. The Faq O Matic? has finally been retired and Jared has put a simple and clean site in its place (check out http://linux.dartmouth.edu/). We'd like to integrate as much of that as possible into the Wiki, but we're not sure if we're going to be using the TWiki software in the upcoming months.

As for other projects, we're going to try to get a lot more things running over the weekend. May LDAP be nice to us and integrate with everything.

Open File Formats -- Buffalo (Apr 10, 2003)

Looks like the Faculty decision for open file formats in Buffalo drew some attention. We've been given an opportunity to go before the Council on Computing and offer an opinion. This is great news as it could mean potential university support and additonal resources.
