-* Advertising
+* Discussion was had regarding new user participation, specifically after installfests; points were raised that installs could be more automated, giving more time for teaching the basics of Linux use. A meeting dedicated to new users getting help could assist, but new users would have to be encouraged to widely advertise it.
+* WLUG itself isn't very widely publicised; members to investigate ways to change this.
