2002.08.02 Meeting Notes

Officer's Meeting

House Agricultural, Davis

Topics

• Debian Donation - Pete donated Debain 3.0 ver.0 discs. 8 CDROMs, binary for Intel.

• Davis Library - There's a $10 charge for food (although it may just be for using the kitchen; we'll need to confirm, and find out if we can simply pay on the day of the meeting, IF we have food).

  There's a $5.00/hr charge for staying after library hours (9pm).

  The library may be able to get us network if needed. We will ask for it.

• Meeting Schedule - To try to make sure meetings go more quickly and smoothly, we've settled on:
  • 5:30 - 6:00 - Set-up
  • 6:00 - doors open
  • 6:30 - 7:15 - Introductions, meeting business, games, etc.
  • 7:15 - 8:45 - Presentation.
  • 8:45 - 9:00 - Break-down.

  We should ask speakers whether they want questions during or after their talk.

  Mike Simons will be running the next meeting, to wet his feet.

• 4-H - Needs another coordination meeting. Henry is going to back down from the talk, since he is busy every Saturday, and we're well staffed already (Bill, Nicole, Richard, Mike).

• Jon 'maddog' Hall - Mike Simons has offered his place for Jon to crash the night of the meeting.

• LERT - Update LERT page. Add a form to search Usenet groups (via Google) and our mailing lists, so people can research on their own before asking for a LERT call.

  Make a LERT call request form on the web page. It can include a check-list ("have you checked Google," "have you posted to vox-tech," etc.)

• Web pages - Pete has asked that everyone (e.g., Bill and Henry) sign their scripts, so people know who's responsible for what code.

• Library - Software, magazines and distros. sections still need updating!

• Kylix - Invite Borland back to speak about the new version of Kylix. (Mike has contact info.)
