I approve this. The other trustees?
Works for me
Yes, although it appears payment has already been made which is fairly irregular.
(In reply to comment #3) > Yes, although it appears payment has already been made which is fairly > irregular. > Maybe not. If you remember the funding request for the drives, I asked for some funds to be put aside in case of a problem(I was expecting a PSU problem if anything) One could argue that this is a continuation of that. Anyway, thanks to whomever sent me the funds, my CC appreciates it :)
We need this machine for the release, right? So, yes from my side.
I do not like hot drives and ham I do not like them Sam I am. +1
+1 from me. Good luck on this fixing the issue.
I approve this, with the understanding that it fixes the issue. I'm a little concerned that we don't really know what the problem is, so we're hoping putting some fans on it fixes it. If this doesn't fix the problem, I do not approve further funds until we've definitively identified the root cause of the problem. (just being clear since it seems like someone already sent Mike the funds, so since we seem to be paying in advance of approval, I thought I'd make my opinion known in advance, too. :P)
Closing, since we sent the funds some time ago.
Forgot to close
