I knew it would take a while, but I didn't realize just how long... As most of you know, sfbapa.org was hacked in 2011. In trying to determine how seriously compromised the site was, we discovered there had been multiple hacks (over many months). So the safest course of action was to completely rebuild the site from a clean slate. The bad news was how long it took (and how painful it sometimes was). The good news is that we're on the latest version of the website software, it's much more stable and hack-proof, and it offered some nice new features. Plus there is a real back-up system in place now.

You'll notice that there is a lot of content missing. Hopefully most of it will be restored over time (or at least what was found to be useful). Every BAPA Member should remember that they have the ability to add articles to the website, so if you think something interesting should be added - add it!

Meanwhile, since things were so compromised (including some passwords for people who can log in to the administration site), all user passwords were reset.

Here's what ALL BAPA MEMBERS NEED TO DO:

In Memory of Chip Greel

At the request of Chip's family we will have a memorial event at Ed Levin on Sunday, December 4, 2011 around late morning, probably 11:00am or so. Chip's family wants to recognize that Chip loved to fly and to remember him accordingly.

There is a page at Facebook, that anyone can access, where one can put words, pictures etc... to acknowledge Chip Greel http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chip-Greel-Memorial-page/147443288689338

BAPA Weather Clinic - Next Wednesday, February 8, 2012, 7pm

Details: Last Updated on Sunday, 26 February 2012 19:41

Members,

The BAPA Weather Clinic will be held at Brightworks (Gever's new school) on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 from 7-10pm. It's located at 1960 Bryant St., San Francisco - between Mariposa and 18th (3 blocks west of Potrero Avenue). Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but the meters only run until 6pm and it's less residential east of the school, so you should be able to find street parking within a block or so.
