[Minds-disaster] hey

Hi, Noel Hogan here. Just to let you know, nobody from Dr. Smyth's office, the Computer Science Department or the Computer Centre have been onto me yet. That's generally a good sign. If things were really bad, the phone in my office would be hopping mad and I'd have had about 10 letters from Smyth on my desk. So keep the faith, and we're going to make sure that Minds survives.

Agreed. I think we can work around that technicality. There is a meeting on Monday at 10:30am with Stephen Brown. I want the following people to attend: Myself, in the capacity of Vice-Chairperson Aidan Delaney as last years Vice-Chairperson Bart Busschots in the capacity of SU Executive Officer in charge of the Societies Cian Synott, as the guy who set the machine up. Stephen Brown also has requested David Bolger to be there... Dave, if you are afraid of being hounded by Stephen be aware that there's all of us there too. > > > be possible to implement this behaviour, but would involve a lot of custom > > > hacking, and not just some configuration directives. > > Perhaps limiting the size of the mail queue? > > > I believe that it's possible to do something along those lines, but I don't see > how it would help.

Right... to get Minds back up and running myself, Aidan and a sysadmin are going to need to talk to James Cotter/Stephen Brown about getting the thing up and running. I'd prefer Cian to be the sysadmin there; as he has more knowledge of the system then our Committee Sysadmin, Phil Brennan [ this sure ain't any sort of dissing Phil competition though... ]. After James Cotter has finished his official investigation, we can sort it out; depending on his recomendations. As far as I know, he's pro Minds (though obviously not pro mailbomb); as is Stephen Brown... but we will have to convince them that we can do things to stop this happening again... Cian was talking about mail limiting; and Andy suggested a limit of 50 a day, resetable only by a committee member and only by another 50 a day. The only people with unlimited accounts would be the executive committee. Now, need to know people: (who we should put on this list and keep informed): Committee members David Bolger Sinead McDonagh Release information to: Damien Murphy Noel Hogan I'll write that letter up tonight, and post it on here tommorrow. Regard, David Barrett

Dave meant to send this to the list - ----- Forwarded message from David Bolger <dbolger(a)esatclear.ie> ----- From: "David Bolger" <dbolger(a)esatclear.ie> To: <minds-disaster-admin(a)redbrick.dcu.ie> Date: Mon, 1 Jan 2001 10:11:41 GMT Subject: What happened According to people inside the Dail, the DoS on the Minister for Finance crashed the eMail server for the whole of Leinster House and kept it down for two days. At the same time in an unrelated attack, a Worm virus was planted by somebody other than myself and the people in LH assumed that the two events were connected. -- dave -- http://www.iol.ie ----- End forwarded message ----- Cian -- "there is nothing wrong /* Cian with emulating a man ** I need to sleep.

[ honeybear(a)cuddle.co.uk ] > if there is no other choice in this ... then we should talk to him or at least > tell him what we are planning and the reasons behind it. > Absolutely. Talk to him. I'm sure that if you explain why you think it'll be better for the society if he steps down, we can open some kind of dialog instead of just trying to vote him out, which looks hostile to me and I'm sure to anyone watching from the outside. Any internal divisions in the society right now could be very damaging. Let's try and go about this like reasonable people, not lawyers. ;o) > but even sargons webpage shouldnt be his main reason for revoking his > resignation, he did write the original script and here in the dept that does > hold some blame > Sargon's webpage?

I don't think it would be taken kindly if the society was not self-sufficient; which it *was*, we could have survived without your help, not that we don't appreciate it.
