3. Correspondence

Letters of thanks for supporting the installfest were sent to Ross Hamblin from DickSmithElectonics?, Kevin Lawson from CrawshawSchool and SteveWebb? of Connector Systems.

WLUG officially endorsed the discuss mailing list for creation of a New Zealand Linux organisation.

4. Treasurers report

The treasurer was not present, however the financial position of the WLUG has not altered since the last report.

5. Wiki migration

A copy of PhpWiki HEAD has been put up on test.wlug.org.nz, and Matt is coordinating porting and merging our patches into it.

We intend to add code to disable lots of functionality that we don't require, and often adds security issues.

6. Fallout from NZLUG/Wiki

Some comments were tabled from NZLUG members about the way WLUG handled the change from the "NZLUG wiki" to the "New Zealand Linux Wiki". We consider it unfortunate that more time was spent on NZLUG arguing about the design of the wiki than actually using it. The new theme that is currently up meets the goal of being less Waikato centric, and a new theme is under development taking into account the suggestions made on NZLUG. Upon completion we intend to aggressively promote the wiki to all New Zealand Linux users.

7. Membership

Membership form to be redesigned into a two part form, where members keep half (with bank account details and information) and the secretary keeps half with membership details. Greig will try and get the source for the original form and oversee its redesign, including information about how to get shell and email accounts,

Craig McK has been asked to follow up on people who signed up at the Installfest; Greig is also overseeing this.
