# Matters
## room bookings for 2009. Some restrictions this year due to reduced funding in CS, we can only use rooms that CS get for free..

###BruceKingsbury to discuss options with Sally-JoCunningham around access to the CompSci department's available rooms.

## IdeasForFutureMeetings - If Sunday falls through (Editor: Fell Through - past Tense) I think Graham owes us a presentation. ;-) Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) perhaps, or migrating businesses from 'doze to 'nix

### LizQuilty to talk to Aaron (WAND Group) about giving a presentation on some of their latest "Ooo Shiny" projects.
### LizQuilty also suggested talking to local businesses and getting them to talk to WLUG about how they use Linux/FOSS in their businesses.  This will give a twofold bonus - The business will get to promote itself to a receptive audience in their target market and WLUG gets some interesting speakers.  (BruceKingsbury suggested we also ask said businesses if they would like to book a table at SFD).
### RodAldridge would like to see a presentation on virtualisation.
### Android - What is it? How does it work? What is it good for?  Is it worth it.
### Zen
### Section 92A - Copyright Act - How does this affect FOSS, Linux and your average computer user.  BruceKingsbury to approach AlexKing to see if he is willing to help with this topic.
### Cloud computing and the battle for the next user interface.

# Server status
## undoing wiki.linux.net.nz's pagerank dilution  without upsetting anyone or breaking existing links and bookmarks. Can we wrap the content in a frame so google sees wlug as the source and wiki.linux.net.nz is still in the address bar? redirect? something else?

###LizQuilty suggested The use of a frame with the content of the frame containing a redirect to the wlug.org.nz equivalent address should work well.  LizQuilty to discuss solution with PerryLorier

# General business
##No new business raised.
