Advocacy planning for 2003.

Some freeform notes from the meeting:

Apply for a WEL Energy Trust grant - perhaps purchase data projector

We need topics for the year (need about 9 or 10)

* Desktop Linux
** the LUG should select a "desktop linux distro" of choice and look at having a common platform for supporting users issues
** a distribution for business users
* An introduction to Unix - what it is, why it does what it does etc, the Unix model; similar to what was covered in Uni tutorials
** What is a load average?
* Installfest? (See Distro of Choice)
* What can linux do now (that it couldn't do previously)
** Multimedia - music, video, cd copying
* Windows + linux compatiblity
* Wireless and wardriving - CRCNet presentation?
* Anti spam and anti virus
* Advanced routing, gateway, qos, source based routing,

-----

Work to establish the WLUG Library.

Approach:
* IBM
* O'Reilly
* !McGraw Hill
* Apple
* Member owned books/loans - need some system for this

-----

Throw a Linux lan party?

Need diversity of membership - try and up membership numbers in both Linux professionals and new users

Use Knoppix to show Linux off to new people
