President's Report

WLUG has been relatively quiet in the past few years, has been mostly a social club, if anyone has wanted to present it has been relatively open, not just Linux but all Open Source/FLOSS. Projects for the year included getting financial records sorted, updating the charter.

Thanks to RimuHosting for their continued support for hosting of the WlugServer.

Treasurer's Report

Tony tabled a draft copy of the financial report for 2010-2013. We need to complete the missing information so we can submit to MoBIE the missing years to re-register as an incorporated society. Tony moved, Roderick seconded that Tonys report be accepted. Elroy to look into what is required to re-register with MoBIE.

Adoption of updated charter

Michael has made more extensive changes than had been discussed. Some changes are clarifications, rules around society doing things outside of the goals of the charter, changing the committee size, ajourning meetings which do not meet a quorum, added objects around options to rent premises, clarifications around memberships; quorums and meetings, adding items from updated charter on wiki which were never submitted to MoBIE.
