Apologies: Nick Rout, Dave Lane General business: The offer for CLUG to use the facilities offered to us by the the Aoteroa Multimedia centre was discussed and the majority consensus was that we remain using Sydenham Community Centre. Install Fest. It was agreed that we should have an install fest this year. Most likely three to four months from now, so as to make enough time for organization and more importantly advertising. ie inBusiness IT magazine, Buy sell Exchange, Newspaper. The offer to the club using a school (I am sorry I didn't note which school) for a future demonstrations was made by one of our members. The possibility of using Sydenham Community Hall one weekend day was suggested The issue of the risk of wrecking someones data while doing an install on their computer was raised. It was generally agreed that we should put some kind of disclaimer on the our web site nearer the event. Along with how to prepare a machine for a linux install. Be it defraging a windows drive or adding another HDD. The option of having bootable CD distros that run linux off of the CD for demonstration was also suggested. A hands up of those likely to attend next months social meeting at a hotel was asked for. Approximately 10 people at the meeting thought they would most likely go along. Suggestions for a likely venue was asked for. One suggestion was submitted: Heathcote Hotel (so lets go there!) (Did you mean the Valley Inn Brian?)
