+
+
+!3. Discussion of the general direction/progress of the LUG with respect to our stated goals
+
+We are achieving good turnout at our meetings (30+ at the previous meeting, 28 at this one). The Wiki is also a very popular medium for information, both from inside the LUG and internationally. A summary of what has happened in the year will be presented at the AGM and decisions on future direction can be made then.
+
+For the WLUG's role as a troubleshooting and support organisation, it would be better to encourage an 'intake' (in the form of an installfest or a group of new users), who can then be taught in a series of meetings. Customizing a Knoppix CD for WLUG and offering a 'media kit' around it, perhaps with 20 tasks that people are encouraged to try, would be an excellent promotional vehicle for this intake.
+
+
+!4. Making the Linux Server project an official WLUG branch
+
+See LinuxServer - Greig is to investigate editing Wiki pages after further discussion on IRC.
+
+
+!5. Committee Membership/Regular Absences
+
+Craig has expressed concern at the regular absences of committee members. After establishing we were one member over numbers Gavin Denby has offered to resign - Kim Shepherd is already ex-officio. Possible changes to the charter are to be investigated at the upcoming AGM. No action with regard to committee members will be taken until then.
+
+
+!6. 2003 AGM & Subscription Renewal Date
+
+!Motion: that the date for the 2003 Annual General Meeting be September 22, and that the topic of subs be raised there for general discussion.

+Moved Greig %%%
+Seconded Daniel
+
+Motion passed
+
+
+!7. General Business
+
+!Motion: that a moderated post, public read e-mail list be created for the WLUG Committee
+
+Moved Daniel %%%
+Seconded Craig
+
+Motion passed
+
+
+There was discussion regarding the lack of time for committee business in the half hour before WLUG presentations and that they often pushed back presentation start times, alienating the non-committee members in the audience. Greig will organise the details regarding these meetings. Suggestion: Held at someone's house (Greig volunteers to be first) on the Thursday evening before the WLUG meeting. General notice provided to the list. Admittance limited to non-committee members who have something they need to raise in person.
+
+!Motion: that committee meetings should be held separately from WLUG meetings
+
+Moved Greig %%%
+Seconded Perry
+
+Motion passed
+
+Meeting closed at 22:20pm.
