I vote 3, but we really should organise a subset of 1. Been too long!

I think if Rick has a use for the money for the SFD's that would be a
good local use for the money.
Cheers, Chris H.

Hi Chris,
The balance is about $470.
So, we have three suggestions so far.
1. Drink it away
2. Transfer it to Rik to use for Software Freedom Day and his monthly
meetings
3. Donate to the Free Software Foundation
I'm not a big fan of drinking it away, but it's not my money. The
group can decide.
Rik, are you reading this? I'm happy for the money to go to you. Do
you have some ideas about what you would use it for?
I'm also fine with donating to FSF or other open source groups.
Lets vote.
Thanks
David

btw : . What is the balance?

I'd rather you didn't - that's the sort of thing that ends up
misreported
in the newspaper.
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?
