      @jack-waugh Can you add forum.admin@equal.vote as a user for starters? For now that's just in my name. ForumAdmin is a good username. I'll make sure Evans and anyone else we recruit to help comes and posts here to keep us all posted.

        Clarification: On Linode, an account does not have a name. Nor do they give a number to identify the account. Accounts have users, and users have names. "votingtheory" is the name I have been using for the user on which I have been logging in. But this can be changed. E. g., to "jack_votingtheory", maybe.

          @sarawolk said in Next Steps for Managing the Forum:

          forum.admin@equal.vote ... ForumAdmin

          It accepted those coordinates and said it will send you e-mail so you can set your password.

            Maybe you can add an equal.vote debit card and then delete my credit card.

              If you can't log in as "ForumAdmin", try it in all lowercase. It looks as though they project usernames to single-case.

                @jack-waugh Okay. I'm in. Thank you. I'm going to bed for tonight but we can do more later.

                  @sarawolk I changed the permissions and then added the Equal Vote Card and a backup card for payments going forward. I'll look through it with Evans when he's back and then we can schedule a time to meet with you @Jack-Waugh to go over the Linode platform and see about which next steps make the most sense. Thank you for doing this.

                  For people who want to get to know the Equal Vote Software Dev Committee (who I'll be asking for help if volunteers from the forum itself are short) I'd like to invite you all to attend a Software Dev monthly meeting if you'd like. They are 3rd Mondays at 6pm Pacific. I'll also be encouraging them to post here if they are willing to help, as well as to share more about their main project Star.Vote 2.0.

                      @jack-waugh Yes. I changed your billing access to Read Only, deleted your card, and added mine and Equal Vote's. The Equal Vote card is the default card now. We can go over the permission settings together when we meet if any changes are needed. I won't make any other changes in the Lindoe.

                        Azure (Microsoft) does in fact support Linux.

                        Notes remind me that the distro I used on Linode (now merged with Akamai) is Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (bionic).
