* 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

+* [IRLP|http://www.irlp.net/] - a VOIP system connecting Amateur Radio repeaters via the internet. The system uses SpeakFreely on CentOS, with some custom radio interface hardware. Bruce will ask [the Waikato VHF Group|http://www.zl1is.info] (who run the Waikato node) or [KielyPetersen|http://www.qrz.com/detail/ZL1KM] (Kiely has set up an IRLP node at home)

* 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.
