Here are the February 2004 committee meeting minutes. if you want to discuss them, direct your reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or [EMAIL PROTECTED] if it is confidential).
I never posted the December 2003 minutes to the SLUG lists, but they are available from http://www.slug.org.au/minutes/ Mary Gardiner, SLUG Secretary ----- Committee meeting minutes February 2004 Meeting open: 6:40pm, 2nd February 2004 Present: Chris Deigan, Mary Gardiner (minutes), Jaime Hemmett, Ben Leslie, Jan Schmidt (chair), Jamie Wilkinson Apologies: Peter Hardy, Michael Kortvelyesy 1. General business 1. Direct deposit Jamie has tested direct deposit into the SLUG bank account and had difficulty. Jaime warned that iSLUG's account type may not allow it. 2. Video and slides Benno has some emails containing slides from speakers, Jan needs to buy more DVDs. Ryan Verner from the linux.conf.au organising team will supply us with Jan's LCA footage. 3. Urn No urn has been purchased yet, we still need somewhere to store it. Jaime suggested giving a member a car allowance to store SLUG goods and bring them to meetings. 4. Xandros review copy Chris has a copy of Xandros for review purposes. It was suggested that it could be a prize at a SLUGlet but it was decided that it should be given to someone at the installfest to review. 5. Campbell's Cash and Carry Card CC&C is a wholesaler, a CC&C Card will let us purchase things at wholesale prices (eg BBQ food for installfests). The fact that SLUG is a legal entity with a bank account should allow us to get a card. 2. Review of recent events 1. January monthly meeting There are some people who'd like a Spice Boys alternative. We decided to ask the list - if no plausible alternatives are suggested, then we will continue going to Spice Boys. We must ring Spice Boys to let them know we're coming. SLUGlets was very small -- we didn't expect the Red Hat talk to be so popular. 3. Upcoming events 1. Installfest The installfest was not well publicised but Jan feels that it's better to have regular small installfests and build a following that way. There may be a ComputerBank member bringing a BBQ. 2. February monthly meeting SLUGlets could be a post-installfest tutorial. Craige may want to advertise the DebSIG code fest/bug squish The general talk will be the "Microsoft free" business people, and the technical talk the cluster talk, if the speakers agree. 3. Annual General Meeting The agenda at this stage is: 1. President's report 2. Treasurer's report 3. Election of 2004-2005 committee 4. March monthly meeting We discussed getting the AGM over with quickly so that we could have two full talks sessions, but with the two reports, questions from the audience and the committee election this is unlikely. So we'll have the AGM in the first half and a general talk in the second half. The general talk will be Jeff Waugh's talk on the Planet aggregator, if he agrees.
