I'd like to discuss the following items:
 - move the buzz, events, and swarm report mailing lists from EMWD/Affinity to BlueHost
 - find/partner with another club for a VPS (virtual private server) to avoid sharing email services, restricted access to configuration and logs - no hurry, we've already paid for another year of hosting with BlueHost
 - find an appropriate CRM system
 - simple/quick membership database driven entirely by the join/renew Formidable forms
 - transition from the current "contact7" swarm report form to Formidable forms
 - support member logins to update member info, mailing list preferences, ...
 - add mapping support to website to track swarms, member hive locations (could be controversial)

Subject: [board] moving email lists
Message-ID: <1D2479CC-BC68-47C5-8E7B-402EE2CE0E78@marinbees.org>

EMWD/Affiinity just unsubscribed Jed and me from the buzz due to "excessive bounces". I'm pretty sure this is an artifact of their shared hosting service. I've resubscribed us.
I'll move the events list to BlueHost this weekend to get a better idea of what's involved in moving the lists.
We're due to renew our EMWD/Affinity for $300 on 2/6/26. I'm not sure I'll be able to move all three lists by that date. I'll keep you posted.
