 We have tentative meeting topics planned from now through May and a new meeting venue, so we feel we are on track for delivering good meetings throughout the year. We are committed to having meetings planned two months out, and each committee member has been asked to follow up for a lead for a meeting presenter. 
  
 For the quiet period over Christmas, we discussed options for the BBQ last meeting, where we suggested we should hold it earlier in December, and attempt to get a higher turnout, and at that point, make sure we always have a January meeting planned in advance. 
  
-It was also suggested that over quiet periods that we use the mailing list more as a community builder; perhaps by encouraging people to post useful links/resources, or having a wiki drive. An idea presented was to have a "cool wall" of URLs on the wiki, which are summarised weekly to the mailing list.
