Don't know what we could usefully use $500 at the UC for the mailing list related things or anything related to CLUG promotion. The University will support local groups where it can because it is a social good. (we supported the NZ PyCon a little)
Personally, since the money was raised in Canterbury, spending it here is good. Rik's ongoing work is what seems to be the main idea coming up and sounds like it would promote the aims of an unofficial CLUG (that only doesn't exist officially). :-) Pete Peter Glassenbury Computer Science & Software Engineering p...@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz University of Canterbury +64 3 3667001 ext 7762 On 16/05/16 15:17, Criggie wrote:

Since there is no clug, anyone can do what they want. This is one of the times where no-clug is a bad thing. Formalised groups have wind-up proceedings as part of their charter. Clug doesn't. So David - you could do anything or nothing, completely without consultation or approval. I'd make a suggestion that we consider these groups as worthy possible recipients for some or all of the funds. * Rik, for his ongoing work in the OSS field. * UOC for their contribution of mailing list, this being the only thing that holds CLUG together * WLUG, for being an Incorporated Society and doing the FOS/OSS thing. Noone's used horse in a long time. I'm happy to turn it off. This is assuming that David can take money out of the bank without losing arms, legs or an entire firstborn. Thoughts?
