Activity in 2016 and beginning of 2017

• Sendar
  • Finished re-installation following the crash.
  • Switched mail back to sendar
  • Set up a backup system (we're backing up to a virtual machine hosted by Brent)
  • Still to do
    • database synchronization with backup
    • scripted process to activate backup as primary in case of need
• Social Events
  • Grill party at Alain Rassel's place
  • Christmas dinner
• LLL
  • Upgraded servers of Pirate Party and Eng nei Schaff to LLL based on Kubuntu 14.04 (from 12.04)
  • A new partner association: Wäisse Rank. They will get a new LLL version based on Debian. Later this version will be rolled out to the 2 other sites as well.
  • Unfortunately, as a new director took office at LGL, he removed the LLL system.

Outlook/plans to the future

• Our Linux-basic class slides need updating.
• Idea: organize classes to teach small an medium enterprises of Luxembourg how to use a Raspberry pi (or clone/competitor) as a thin client (or even as a not-so-thin client)
• In Q4 this year, our club will have existed for twenty years. This is worthy of celebration. Maybe a two-day bootcamp at ENS? Maybe we could do something together with MCCL?
• Register in our club in the commune of Contern, so that we can benefit from a room there too, or maybe even a subsidy.

"Rapport de Caisse" / "Rapport du réviseur de caisse"

• at the beginning of the exercise (2016), we had 3567.49€ on our CCP account
• throughout 2016 we received 345€, all of which were membership dues
• 581.59€ were spent (AG and Christmas meals, postage stamps, membership card blanks, bank fees, ...)
• at the end of 2016 we had 3330.90€ on our account
• Our cash box staid constant at 252.25€

Our accounting has been verified by one réviseur de caisse (Pierre Fonck) and we gave décharge to the trésorier.

... has been granted.

Election of the New Board

• Alain Knaff, secretary

Pierre Fonck and Patrick Kleeblatt are réviseur de caisse

Membership due

• Membership due stays at 15€

Miscellaneous

• When faced with vendors that are less than friendly to the community, we should nevertheless stay customers, and complain, rather than leave to boycott. A boycott might not be "noticed", however a barrage of complaints will.
