More working group updates:

*FINANCE*

The holiday appeal fundraising letters have been composed and mailed.

The 2008 audit and taxes have been completed and submitted.

We consensed to become the fiscal sponsors of Community Center for the
LGBTQA community in Champaign County.

Our treasurer and board member, Jason Turner, will be stepping down after
three years of service. A search is currently being conducted. Jason has
done an AMAZING job of completing audits and grant budgets for our many
programs. He has also helped to clean the backlog out of our books. Jason
will be MISSED!

We received notice from Champaign Consortium that funding for Tim and Chris'
positions will end January 8, 2010, not March 31 as previously stated.

Building Concerns--

We had to order a new motor for the boiler. Comfort will install this within
the next week or so when the part comes in.

Our tenant in room 15 vacated. We signed a 12 month lease for the space with
the Tech group and MakerSpace. We signed a 6 month lease with Chris Evans
for room 215. We are filled to capacity.


*TECH

*--Much of the IMC's internal network has been restructured for greater
security, with a new firewall and the public network segregated from
internal services.

--A number of bugs have been fixed in the backpage.

--The backup system has been reworked, and all critical directories and
databases on all servers are backed up.

--All email lists and primary email functionality has been migrated to a
new server, deprecating old imsahp.chambana.net. People who have legacy
email accounts can still access them through imsahp.chambana.net and can
contact the tech group for migration. We'll be rolling out improved
POP3/IMAP/SMTP capabilities as well as webmail and accounts management
shortly.

--Makerspace Urbana has gotten off the ground with the support of
IMC-Tech group members and is renting one of the downstairs studios as a
space for creative and technical projects.
