We have received a letter from to Companies Office reminding us to submit our financial statements.
Ian is handling submission of 2005 and 2006 financial reports to the IRD and the Companies Office as appropriate.
Software Freedom Day was successful and well received by the members of the public who attended. Most of the goals we set out were addressed. We collected e-mail addresses from 35 people on the day but have only had 4 people enter our draw so far. Ian is going to draft an e-mail to send out to those addresses tomorrow.
There have been a number of complaints about the actions of a WLUG member. Lindsay will address the issue with this member.
We had a lot of help on the day from people who were not involved with the planning, and need a way of addressing this on the way.
People were in general happy to receive the software. One lady was on her way to buy a commercial Office package, and is very happy that we "saved her $250". Overall, the helpers were very happy with the response from the audience.
The difference between Free and free wasn't well defined on the display; next time we should pay more attention. We also were unable to have an XGL display; this wasn't a huge concern because the technology to give it to people on a CD isn't quite ready.
We will ask Jamie to handle purchasing a second SSL for 'mail.wlug.org.nz', approaching Metanet and weighing the price against online vendors.
We have had a drive fail; Ian will contact Buddika to see if we can get a replacement drive from HP. Failing that:
Motion: to authorise the purchase of a replacement hard drive if necessary
Moved: IanMcDonald
Seconded: LindsayDruett
Perry will move the Planet/library web sites to www2 in the interim.
Lightning talks:
We have space for at least 3 10-minute slots
To be done from e-mail addresses entered into Perry's draw page, drawn on the day - you do not have to be at the meeting to win.

Lindsay will write and present a Presidents Report.
We have nominations for President, Vice President, Treasurer (carried over from 2006) and three general committee members. There have been no nominations for secretary.
Craig will document as much as possible about the operation of the society for the incoming secretary.
To be investigated further.
