Matters arising
+
+The Waikato University Computer Science department have again kindly agreed to sponsor the cost of room bookings for our meetings for the year. The room [TW.2.07|TW] was well received and we are happy to continue using it.
+
+Orcon payment for the www.wlug.org.nz domain has been sorted. In return for their continued sponsorship, the WLUG committee will suggest its members use Orcon products and services.
+
+The wiki software was upgraded, and then downgraded again due to it stressing the hardware and causing faults (see point 5 below)
+
+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.
+
+Motion: that the committee authorize spending of up to $500 on a promotional banner for WLUG

report

+Conversion of data from Quickbooks format needs to performed to submit a financial return to the Societies Office; Ian will send the data to Craig to investigate.
+
+!5. Hoiho
+
+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.
