Gary: Team, because of a few changes, updates and plan changes are as follows:
  1. Meetings of CNMCyber Community Board are postponed. It looks like Kevin stopped attending our boards, so let's postpone the Community Board until better times come.
  2. Educaship pitch is now in beta testing. My https://wiki.cnmcyber.com/en/Educaship_pitch sprint is complete. I haven't decided what I will work on next, but whatever it will be, it will be on a new wiki.
  3. New Wiki. Natalia installed new wiki engines. DocuWiki looks like mobile-friendly MediaWiki. XWiki acts like Confluence, but I couldn't find how to plug it into Educaship GitLab. Wiki.js seems like the application our school students will enjoy the most. Natalia -- may we try to integrate it into Educaship LDAP and migrate our MediaWiki database to our Wiki.js instance?
  4. New LMS. Natalia, are there any updates on the CanvasLMS project? I plan to use Moodle for the third course, but the first two sound better on another LMS. OpenEdX is, probably, too complex for us for now.
  5. Dry run for iDosvid is cancelled. My funds are depleting faster than I expected. Thus, I propose to skip the dry run and look at every expense in the nearest future.
  6. Educaship WordPress. Because of changes in the visa process, I cannot predict when my upcoming trip will be. Since we don't do a dry run, most likely, I have time to work on something. I am thinking about our websites -- at least, they will help our educaship marketing. During our tech board, I propose to discuss that.
  7. Break through the wall. Natalia enabled experiments with OpenVPN. However, I found at least one place where VPN is blocked, so, technically, encrypted VPN can be recognized and blocked. I would like to play with the Tor browser. Also, Natalia, may you take a look at Shadowsocks? It is regarded as the best solution to our needs at least here -- https://www.howtogeek.com/802198/vpn-alternatives-what-can-you-use-besides-a-vpn/
