-%%%
-I will look to see if i can find a system to donate to run as a router for the net connection.
-%%%
-Meetings possibly every 4th monday of the month, to make easier to keep track of.
-%%%
-2002 meetings to be a short presentation on anything, recent packages etc, then hands-on. this way everyone can present something whether it just be how you use linux in your network/ home / business etc.
-
-!!Other ideas
-Another idea that cropped up during the discussions on IRC was something to do with X basics. Basically things like:
-* How to change WMs/desktop environments && how to set these as defaults
-* how to setup a scrollmouse
-*
[how to get X to not start on boot
]
-* various tricks to do with startx & similar

-!Regarding the WLUG group itself
-%%%
-Group has no formality - we could ask for gold coin donations at radio club
-Use this money to buy box of stuff for WLUG to keep at radio club - power boards, network gear etc
-%%%
-Appoint a hierarchy - group president?
-%%%
-Traditionally we have meetings only, need to do something to get new people, start doing installs, bringing boxes, start presentations etc.
-Momentum will eventually gather.
-%%%
-Group needs to develop a purpose
-* have 2 groups of people - large group of people that don't particularly want help with anything (know what they're doing) that can all sort themselves out
-* group of newbies that are starting to arrive...

-
-!Regarding Linux and advocacy
-
-The mission of the group needs to be to "Promote Linux use" and NOT to discourage Windows use - as such, people considering public advocacy
-should read the [LinuxAdvocacy] how-to document.
-%%%
-Daniel refers to a pro-Microsoft story on "Breakfast" TV program. A guy wrote a letter to the show explain alternatives (crossposted to NZLUG
-list.) While a great idea, it was filled with "Micro$haft" etc - bad advocate. This from the head of a reputable firm in Auck. Profanities,
-allegorical stuff, "Evil Empire" etc. Not the right way to go about it.
-%%%
-There is a resources for advocacy link on WLUG page.
-%%%
-Question asked of how did everyone get to know about Linux:
-* newspaper articles are becoming more prevalent
-* Lots of press in the business market (Linux can do things that other solutions can't)
-%%%
-(story of backing up to can't back up to SQL database)

-%%%
-Aim to have a definate goal with talks - show how to do something specific?
-%%%
-* Daniel: LDAP talk
