8 -Sign up for SFD, what quantity of supplies do we require?
9 ChrisOhalloran 9 -Contact Canonical and get 8.04 CD order underway. (Bruce has put in an order for 100 freebies from shipit, only 10 approved.. we can order stamped cds or but a few spools of blanks and burn our own..)
10 -Bruce and Lindsay to discuss with BP Tech use of a number of machines for SFD display. We're also offering a preconfigured install of Ubuntu that they can clone on their BP-tech special machines which are currently being sold 'without Operating System'
4 BruceKingsbury 11 - Bryce Utting nominated as 'temporary committee member' to replace Simon, as allowed for in the constitution.. no SGM required (it's a lot of hassle for a minor committee position and also Bruce forgot to announce one..) Approved by email vote, but should probably be recorded in some minutes somewhere.
7 BruceKingsbury 12 - Fund raising.. bank balance is distressingly low. Bruce intends to remind members to pay fees at next meeting. We should send out 'reminder' emails to all members. I thought we already did? Is there anything else we could do to raise funds? Trust applications?
5 BruceKingsbury 13 # Server(s) status
14 - hoiho - New hard drive required. About $80. Daniel will install in a couple of weeks when he's next at the datacentre.
15 - kororaa - Bruce needs to write an email to FX networks and see if we can get rackspace and a few IP addresses.
