CONTENT OF THE NEWSLETTER
- Does your association need towels for loan?
- Deadline for Otax account admin report 29 March
- Teekkari Sailors’ leisure and coastal skipper courses
1. DOES YOUR ASSOCIATION NEED TOWELS FOR LOAN?
AYY has accumulated a huge amount of lost property, such as a stack of towels. If your association wants to start or improve your own supply of loans, now you have the opportunity to collect an unlimited number of towels from AYY’s lost property. It is advisable to wash towels prior to use.
Contacts concerning towels & agreement on pick-up times (no later than Mon, 17 Feb):
Annamaija Hutri, Vice Chairperson of AYY Board
annamaija.hutri@ayy.fi, 0407183308
AYY always stores lost property for two weeks and after that is entitled to get rid of it.
2. DEADLINE FOR OTAX ACCOUNT ADMIN REPORT 29 MARCH
Deadline for Otax account admin report is 29 March. Accounts without reported admin will be locked on 1 Apr and sites disabled at the end of April.
Update your PHP-applications (wikis, content management systems etc.) and then fill in the admin report form. Remember to mention which applications and versions you have. Clean up unnecessary keys from .ssh/authorized_keys.
Admin report can be filled here: http://yhdistykset.ayy.fi/yllapitajailmoitus/english.html
Leave your report in time and fill it in carefully.
Other notes about Otax:
- phpMyAdmin will answer from ayy.fi connections only, ./:80/phpmyadmin/. Use SSH tunneling and provided phpMyAdmin instead of running your own version of it.
- If your site needs htaccess rewrites, please contact us and we’ll add AllowOverride FileInfo to vhost configuration.
- We are testing Python-support with mod_wsgi. If you want to run WSGI compatible Python applications in Otax, please contact tietotekniikka@ayy.fi.
3. TEEKKARI SAILORS’ LEISURE AND COASTAL SKIPPER COURSES
Teekkari Sailors’ navigation courses in the spring of 2014:
Leisure skipper course on Tuesdays, 25 Feb-15 Apr, 5:30pm-8pm
Coastal skipper course on Wednesdays, 5 Mar-16 Apr, 5:30pm-8pm
Examinations of both courses: Fri, 25 Apr, 6pm-10pm
The leisure skipper course is the beginner’s course on navigation theory and maritime traffic regulations. You will learn how to find your way between the right signs, navigate on the map and identify other ships based on lights. Teaching begins from the basics, so previous knowledge is not required. Later, you can continue your studies in the coastal skipper course, which includes tides, meteorology and the use of the radar. You may participate in both courses at the same time.
You can join the courses by becoming a member of TRIP and paying the membership fee.
