[Mickaboo Techlist] Credit Cards at the party, continued....
by AMuse 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi all! It's possible that I won't have time to put together an official -mickaboo- laptop prior to the party. It's also possible that the merchant account won't be ready by then. I'm going to do my absolute best to make sure both of those get done, but just in case, lets have a plan B. In case all of our technical stuff isn't ready in time.... I'll bring a padlocked box with a slot in the top, and a bunch of paper forms on which people can write their credit card number, amount they're charging to it, what they bought and sign it. They can then slip the paper in the slot and be assured (in writing, which I'll prepare) that only I or Heather will be permitted to open the box back up, read their slip of paper, make the charge after-the-fact, and then securely store (and later shred) the piece of paper. Does this backup process work for everyone? If so, we can be 100% sure we'll be able to process credit cards. Otherwise it's a roll of the dice whether the merchant account will be fully set up in time.

Does anyone else (other than me) have a phone with unlimited data service AND bluetooth (or some other way to connect to a laptop) who will be going to the holiday party?

[Mickaboo Techlist] Newsletter Question
by wrw 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hi Matt: I was wondering what you thought about using the Mail-Page Plugin (http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/E-mailing+a+Page) to try and send the newsletter. The reason I am interested in seeing how well this works is that I have set up the newsletter space in such a way that someone else could take it over, with a minimal documentation write up on my part. I can use dreamweaver and/or publisher to set the newsletter up, but it does require setting up links etc..which I can do.but in the future it may not be easy for someone else. Also if the email page does work, all the newsletter, setup etc is contained on the mickaboo site where it belongs. What do you think? I do appreciate all your work in installing plugins etc., in getting this newsletter going. Wendi

[Mickaboo Techlist] LDAP
by AMuse 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

FYI all, I'm about 75% complete with an LDAP server implementation for our usernames, passwords and group affiliations. I'm hoping that fairly soon, I can consolidate the following LDAP aware pieces of software to use the SAME username/password for all their actions: * ASM * Confluence (the wiki) * Email logins (webmail, etc) * Apache "Secure page" logins Unfortunately, mailman doesn't support LDAP so I'm still screwed there. :P Still, I think it's an improvement to have something centralized to work off of.

Hi: I do not have the ability to add an additional alias to the email list. Can someone add Brian Greger (wbg(a)zozoeng.com) to the class(a)mickaboo.org address recipients? Wendi

When Karen emails in a request to join, she's approved even though she's not a foster or adoptive parent at this time. She's volunteering in other ways. :)
