We have answered question required to get a firm quote for a promotional banner for WLUG. When this arrives, we will discuss the details and get a design that everyone agrees on. We agreed to authorize spending at this meeting so that we can arrange for it immediately when consensus is reached. |

A summary of the situation was posted to the mailing list in the last week - the server hardware is no longer trusted. DanielLawson has loaned us a disk, which MattBrown has installed. |

We intend to hold the server donated by WAND and IT Partners as a backup in case of emergency, and proceed with a plan to seek sponsorship for a new, rack mountable server (2U or less, 1GB of RAM, redundant disks), from companies such as HP, IBM, Dell and Sun. Ian will co-ordinate writing of a letter on the wiki, and we will aim to have them off with in two weeks, to have answers for the next meeting. |
