Happy Holidays, everyone! :xmas_sant
When I typed in the title above for this message, I was shocked - as this year coming up will be our >>> 20th YEAR <<< on the internet!
To celebrate, I wanted to let you know about a big change coming to our house - I am taking a sabbatical from work and will be updating our website over the course of the next few months! Actually, I'm taking the sabbatical to finish my architecture license - but I have made arrangements to upgrade this site and move us to a new platform in January!
This has been a long time in coming - began in January 2017, actually - however once we get over to the new platform, I think you will be very, very happy with the result. The new software will give us much better security, more flexibility in services offered - and the Archives will become an integral part of the overall package (not just an add-on as it is here). We will have ties directly into Social Media and YouTube, and a whole host of other things that I will FINALLY have the time to do. There is already a installation of the software on our server, you can see it here (not much to see at this point - and is locked - but it's been tested and is functioning well:
http://www.ericsonyachts.org/ie/index.php
I will be putting out a number of threads for the upgrade and advising all the particulars as we get closer. I work through the end of the year - so this won't start until after Jan 1st - but I am very much look forward to the transition and the improvements it will bring!
.... And now, down to business:
As usual, this is the time of year when we open the fund raising efforts to the membership - and with a bunch of small donations, the bills get paid and (this year), we'll be buying new software licenses, some consulting developer time and associated items. If you would like to help out, please go to the Donations Page to learn more about supporting this site and the Ericson Community:
