Title: cap.usafaux.us e-mail domain
Post by: Lancer on July 21, 2011, 09:49:16 PM
Hi All,

Since I'm no longer involved with CAP, I've transferred the cap.usafaux.us sub/domain for e-mail to Robert Bowden of MIWG. If you have a question about an existing account, or would like an account, please contact him at:

Robert.Bowden@cap.usafaux.us

Please give him some time to get back to you, as he is currently on vacation.

Hi All,

Thanks @Lancer for that intro and getting me slammed with emails today.  I am currently in East Europe and have only a so so WIFI connection at my hotels.

If you want an account please email me but please don't expect any accounts to be set up until 1 Sept 11 when I get back into town and am finished with the GLR encampment at the end of Aug.

Thanks for all you do and donations via paypal are accepted to help pay for the domain/hosting

Robert

There's no reason you should be paying for hosting

If only there were a provider that offered free hosting to non-profits.  :P

Lt. Bowden must be tired from his vacationing in Eastern Europe, the only expense is the domain renewal, as Google Apps for Domains is free.

...and Dreamhost offers free hosting to non-profits, and Google offers free education accounts to CAP subordinates.

No need for donations, or telethons asking for them. :)

I know all the national capital wing emails are hosted by gmail.  They issue everyone in the wing an email address, give them access to calendars for aircraft, vehicles, training, meetings etc...shared network stuff like google apps and google docs.  All done free through google because we are a non profit.  It looks really great.

It's a big cup of awesome.

There's definitely some people at NHQ using it as well, you can tell when you add their contacts to yours - one of these days NHQ will expand the license, issue every member an email address, require it be used for CAP business, and we'll all be better off.

No more discussions with the FEMA director between "jim@fema.gov" and "hotpilotcutiechick72@juno.com".

I mean, seriously.

Or even Wings with a .gov.

Or even restarting national use of CAP.gov and using that.

*gasp*
