Useful in promoting the WLUG at grass-roots level. Can be made available to members to hand out. Suggested slogan "Supporting FOSS in the Waikato", web address.

  • Raising public profile of the WLUG

We are open to suggestions.

  • Canturbury LUG using WLUG wiki but with CLUG branding

Not happy with sharing wiki content. Wasn't approved by committee before being actioned; Multiple URL's to single page of content dilutes web presence, lowers Google PageRank?. Happy to offer hosting to other LUG's but can't use multiple domains referencing same content - appears to Google as duplicate content. Our members deserve credit for content they have created. Bruce will talk to Perry.

Anything that affects WLUG or the WLUG profile needs to be approved by the committee.

  • Meeting Closed at 21:15.
