Minutes
=======
Tasks needed
* Mary had a complete list of tasks that need to be completed to run
a meeting, so we'll sort it out on the mailing lists a little
closer to the event.
Meeting format
* Sluglets - Jeff having second thoughts, people don't want to
have to choose. But we'd like to have a real crack at this format
just once..
* Other options for the meetings: More practical hands-on
demonstrations, Linux installs, mini workshops.
* Need to make up some signs pointing out meeting rooms. Probably
use the ones that have been designed for the Workshop.
Workshop
* Tony says we have too many installers, and need to split them into
frontline workers, and backup shock troops.
* Important to have greeters at the door, one or two all day, and it
should be shared around.
* Shirts: Installers and helpers will be given shirts. Some will be
given away as prizes, the rest will be sold.
* Discussed the possibility of giving away other goodies, like
books or stuffed tuxes. Tony will come up with some ideas.
* Costs incurred so far: ~$100 on leaflets
~$150 on posters
$435 on t-shirts
Camera
* Jan recommended a model we'll eventually go with. We also need
one or two microphones, preferably clip-on lapel type, and a
tripod at least.
* Jan will be getting definite quotes to be approved by the
committee
* Secure storage needs to be found.
* Insurance will be investigated by Jamie.
Dymocks
* Tony has spoken to our Dymocks contact in regards to
distributing SLUG endorsed CDs. We've given them some ideas and
suggestions, and we get final approval.
* Tony also mentioned the possibility of getting member discounts,
on the CDs and other items.
* Won't be chased too seriously until after the Workshop.
Roles
* The ctte will start documenting what we're doing. Areas that
especially need it are Jamie's fun as a Treasurer, and how the
new website works.
* Peter to take over role of webmaster.
* Jan will be coordinating our monthly meetings, making sure
speakers are organised and it all comes together.
* Tony is responsible for coordinating other events.
* Craige will be looking at our involvement with other like-minded
organisations, eg: ComputerBank.
* Mary has been asked to help liase with new SLUG members and new
users on the mailing lists.
* Tony is liasing with corporate bodies, with the aim of promoting
Linux and incidentally scoring SLUG membership advantages.
Misc
* Discussed the issue of resources available for SIGs, after the
problems PIG had obtaining a laptop and a working projector.
No firm decision.
