Summary: Tues, 1 Sep, 6pm -- Picadilly, South Square
Organization: Triangle Free-Net User Interface Committee
Distribution: triangle
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 1992 03:42:30 GMT

The Triangle Free-Net User Interface Committee will hold its first
meeting on Tuesday, September 1, at 6:00pm at the Picadilly Cafeteria
in South Square Mall in Durham. Everyone is invited.

The User Interface Committee was formed at the first general Triangle
Free-Net meeting in order to address these and other issues:

  -  Evaluate existing systems
  -  Follow city model?
  -  Design main menu
  -  Determine easy interface for new users and good help facilities
  -  Design disclaimer
  -  Determine policies for posting and removing messages--any access
       restrictions?
  -  Plan consistent menus and naming schemes (for example, for bulletin
       boards and ask-an-expert boards)
  -  Plan acknowledgements for contributors
  -  Build prototype
  -  Evaluate and redesign

Please come with your ideas and energy.  The Triangle Free-Net needs
your support.

If you have any questions or need directions, email me
(Michael.Grubb@bbs.oit.unc.edu) or call me in Durham (682-3700).

Please allow me to make a correction to the information on Youngstown's
software. They are currently using the FreePort software.

On another subject, Cleveland is currently upgrading their computers.
This may cause them to be unavailable at various times while they are
moving all the accounts, configuring the new machines, etc.

The domain name for Lorain County FreeNet should be

                    freenet.lorain.oberlin.edu

instead of lorain.freenet.edu as I previously posted. I believe the IP
address is correct.

So far, my machine is not aware of the 
triangle.freenet.hwsw group, so I thought I'd
put my thoughts into this group.  

From the recent posting concerning questions the
hardware/software committee should think about:
	What kind of OS 
	What manufacturer
	What Capacity
	What about Flexibility

Well, just to get some discussion started,
what about:
	UNIX OS, seems like a natural to me,
		multi-user, networking built-in.

	Manufacturer: this may be like a religious
	question, but I'm pretty sure the SUN machines
	are running a freenet somewhere, so the 
	software must be SUN compatible at least.

	I admit to some partiality here (I work on a Sun)
	and I promise to check on what machine types
	are running a couple of the freenets.

	Capacity: I don't have any idea, but disk space
	is fairly cheap (if that's the question--maybe the
	maximum number of users is the question?)
	Well, we want to be the best, right?  Bill Hutchins
	said there were 96 users on Cleveland on a Saturday
	night, so does that mean we need at least 100
	possible simultaneous users?


So I'm thinking a Sun Sparc II at least (a Sparc 10 would be
great with ISDN) Say 32meg memory? 1.5 gig disk, located
in some small office in RTP.

By the way, what about incorporating Gopher and WAIS
into the machine?  Are the current packages running
on the FreeNets what we really want?  Or maybe offer
different access modes?  

I'll see what I can find out about the already existing
freenets and post that ASAP.  In the meantime, what do
you think?

Duke University Medical Center, Department of Cell Biology, is looking for a
hardware hero or heroine.

CellBio operates an EtherTalk/LocalTalk network of approximately 100 machines,
mostly Macintoshes, with two file servers and a mail server, currently totaling
about 2.5 GB of available storage. The LAN wiring is entirely twisted-pair, and
is linked to the fiber-optic backbones that unite the university and med-center
campuses.

The open position has primary responsibility for maintaining hardware and
monitoring performance on the LAN. In addition to connectivity equipment
(bridges, routers, concentrators, Ethernet cards, and whatnot), this includes
networked disk drives, laser printers, scanners, and associated equipment.

This support person also advises the network administrator, department
administrators, and network users on purchases of connectivity equipment and
software; handles routine hardware upgrades on individual computers; serves as
backup manager for the network and e-mail; and coordinates service requests for
the department's ISDN telephone system.

Expertise in all these areas is NOT required. If you have the background and
talent to grow into the job, and to continue to grow with it, you qualify.
Guidelines include:

-- General knowledge of several operating systems, and detailed knowledge of
either the MacOS, DOS, or OS/2.
--General knowledge of computer hardware and maintenance procedures.
--Familiarity with a networked computer environment; networking in an
educational setting is a plus.
--Familiarity with a range of software, including word processing,
communications, spreadsheet, database, drawing/drafting, or others.

This position probably will be classified Computer Technician III, with a
minimum salary in the low 20s. Benefits are good: Health care at Duke 100
percent covered (no copayments!); 13 paid holidays, plus vacation; low-cost
dental insurance; and a good deal more. The position also includes a small
private office and use of a Macintosh IIci with color monitor.

If you're interested, please send a summary of your qualifications, either by
e-mail (john_norris@cellbio.duke.edu or jsn@cellbio.duke.edu) or on paper (John
Norris, Cell Biology Box 3709, Duke Medical Center, Durham NC 27710). If you
have questions about the opening, you can reach me at 684-4779.
