-Historic ideas (new Committee
can tidy up if they don
't want them
)
+* Vik Oliver - LizQuilty is scheduling for June

can't field a speaker, invites any of the other sysadmins to present or participate.
+* JohnMcpherson to present on global-pix.com, said maybe later in year ~ JohnBillings asked, JohnM said maybe later in the year
+* NatTorkington ~ Has been sent an invite, said he'd love to when he finds an excuse to come to Hamilton
+* AndrewMcmillan John has asked same as Nat, looking for an excuse to come to Hamilton
+* Steven Ellis OpenMedia - no action yet
+* Gavin Treadgold [Sahana|http://www.sahana.lk] - JohnB asked, said later in the year very likely.
+* Invite organizers of LinuxConfAu - John will get around to. Makes sense later in the year closer to the conference.
+* Local businesses that might use Linux (and be interested in support SFD
) - no action yet
+* Virtualisation - JohnB has asked the Xen gurus at Rimu, Peter already presented once and others not interested. Does anyone know someone who can do a presentation on VirtualBox? Maybe Bruce?
+* Android - What is it? How does it work? What is it good for? Is it worth it. ~ Can someone suggest a presenter for this?
+* 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. ~ Please suggest a presenter for this.

-* "I'd like to know how to index and search the huge mass of documentation that comes with a Linux distribution. I want my own personal Linux Box [Google]. It would be a very useful thing for a Linux beginner to have, but it seems beyond a Linux beginner's abilities to set up. This makes me think it's a good topic for a [WLUG] to be teaching." --GlynWebster
- * (spurious note: if you're using [Debian], just install the [dwww] package), and otherwise swish++ --JohnButtery
- * this machine has a GreenStone collection built from html/txt/info/man pages found in /usr/share/doc on a debian woody box - [search/browse|http://www.wlug.org.nz/gsdl/cgi-bin/library?p=about&c=linuxdoc] -- JohnMcPherson
-
-* "Is anyone else interested in a presentation of selling/using linux in the small to medium business ??" --AndrewThrift
- * I did this [last year|http://www.wlug.org.nz/MeetingTopics.2004-06-28] -- GreigMcGill
-
-* Linux Terminal Server Project
-
-* Securing your network through use of [SSL] enabled services
-
-* A bit of notice that we are expecting distinguished guests to any particular meeting (email to the list would be nice - even an hour or two in advance)... --- LindsayDruett ''I'll make sure I announce my attendance to every meeting then, just for you Lindsay ;) --DanielLawson''
- * As soon as they are confirmed, they are posted on the Wiki. People usually prefer this to yet more email. :) -- GreigMcGill
-
-* The basics of [Emacs]/[Vim]/bash(1), for those who are new to [LinuxCulture|LinuxIsNotWindows] but want to use more geeky^H^H^H^H^Hpotentially convenient tools. --JaredWigmore
