* ... but a reluctance of 'no support' especially in server installations
The three general committee members have each been given a job to do:
-JohnBillings
is going to look into start a local Freegeek [http://www.freegeek.org] group. The general concept is to recycle old hardware, install Linux, and donate to community groups. John and Bruce are going to start it up. The
actual work will be done by enthusiastic young people (suggested year 13 students). This will provide them with hands on experience and allow them to volunteer time to a good cause.

-~[This should be corrected, I would be willing to advise anyone if they are interested in starting a recycling/education project, I've been involved with Free Geek projects in the past and worked for an electronics recycling company. I did talk briefly with one of the organizers of the hamilton eday event, and next year wlug could be involved with that in some manner, I'll follow up w/ eday and find out what this entails. ~~JohnBillings~]
+BruceKingsbury
is going to look into start a local Freegeek [http://www.freegeek.org] group, with advice and guidance from JohnBillings who has been involved in setting up similar groups in Chicago and South Bend, Indiana
. The general concept is to recycle old hardware, install Linux, and donate to community groups. It is anticipated that the
actual work will be done by enthusiastic young people (suggested year 13 students). This will provide them with hands on experience and allow them to volunteer time to a good cause.
Rod is going to work with outreaching WLUG to other groups.
Simon is going to continue with membership and server management. He will also be the backup librarian / coffee boy if James cannot make it to a meeting.
