18 !2. Matters arising
19
20 Hoiho has been relocated to the Orcon datacentre, and the WLUG committee would like to thank Craig Whitmore and Orcon for sponsoring its hosting. The WLUG committee needs a documented procedure about how to contact people who can reboot Hoiho if required.
21
22 The Christmas BBQ had a disappointing turnout. Follow up posts to the mailing list suggest it should be at a different time, perhaps earlier in the month.

25
26 None.
27
28 !4. Treasurers report
29
30 CraigMckenna needs to be chased up for a copy of the AGM financial statement. We also need to arrange signing rights for Ian.
31
32 Ian will pay for the SSL certificate on his credit card.
33
34 !5. Google Ads on WLUG wiki
35
36 Matt Brown has proposed putting Google ads on the WLUG wiki. He has addressed concerns about violating any hosting agreement with Orcon - they are happy as long as we don't do anything illegal.
37
38 The WLUG committee supports adding Google ads, with the following suggestions:
39
40 * have the code last on the page, as sites that hang on a Google lookup often are slow to render
41 * ads should be able to be turned off with a cookie/a "Hide ads" link, like the "Hide Sidebar" link
42
43 !6. Direction for 2006
44
3 CraigBox 45 Fix presentations. We haven't been good at this lately.
2 CraigBox 46
3 CraigBox 47 Have an installfest. Have it a bit later this time, for more advertising, and to get Ubuntu CDs in time. Run presentations at the installfest to try and get people other than those who just want to install Linux.
