Subject: [TriLUG Volunteers] BarCamp
Message-ID: <5107D8BE.50408@trilug.org>


Recently, some of the steering committee guys were talking to the 
planners of BarCampRDU, the annual "unconference" that has been held on 
a Saturday at the same meeting room that we use at Red Hat.  It sounds 
like the folks that planned last year's event are stepping down.

So there has been some very early talk about taking over the planning 
role, and basically running BarCamp under the TriLUG banner.  If any of 
you guys are interested in helping out, speak up here.  The initial 
brainstorming has pointed towards an early summer date, maybe around May.

If we move forward, there will be some logistics planning (room, food, 
helpers) and some fund raising, T-shirt design and ordering, and some 
promotion / advertising / outreach.  We might also prime some speakers 
into holding a session or talk at the event.

Subject: [TriLUG Volunteers] Thunderbird mail autoconfig on pilot
Message-ID: <CAPm8Nr0zwBDYCQ_MPme2oMrn6v_95Wd5mYpHTn3-VOOpfG_cjw@mail.gmail.com>

Hey Guys,
On irc today, tjchamberlain was having some trouble with connecting
Thunderbird to pilot's IMAP server.  qqx jumped in a created a
site-wide Thunderbird autoconfig xml file for us, and I have copied
that into the required websever directory on pilot (as root).  Hope
that helps.

=== Thunderbird Docs ===
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration


=== IRC conversation from #trilug ===
18:36 < qqx> I thought that somebody had set it up so that thunderbird
would automatically
             configure for that, but apparently not.
18:37 < qqx> I've written a config file for it, which one of the
administrators can put in place
             by doing: mv ~aschrab/config-v1.1.xml
             /var/www/www.trilug.org/.well-known/autoconfig/mail
18:37 < qqx> (after making that destination directory)
18:38 < qqx> billf: ^^
18:38 < qqx> With that in place people should only need to enter their
name, email address and
             password.
18:57 < qqx> Ohh, to be clear: the entire destination in that mv
command should be a directory
             name.  The source file name should remain the same, not
end up as "mail".


=== Commands run ===
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/www.trilug.org/.well-known/autoconfig/mail
sudo cp ~aschrab/config-v1.1.xml
/var/www/www.trilug.org/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/
