  ttidman: pending release of hardy heron in... 9 days

  mcr: 40 for OPL, "a bunch" for OCLUG
  mcr suggests that we give one per person at OCLUG meeting (donation suggested)
  mcr suggests a second unit can be had for $4.
  mcr: so,  around 2.40CDN for a CD, if there are 30 people at the meeting, then 
       we have 30 left over. If we sell those at $4 each, that's $120.  I've left none for the Programming Olympics.
       so, I suggest we get $300 worth of CDs.
  ttidman: sorry, looks like the cds will be (before shipping and taxes and 
           taxes on the shipping and so on) 0.825 GBP each
  mcr: motion: that we buy $300 of CDs.  including shipping and taxes.
  wardi: I second
  bjb: I third the motion to buy $300 of CDs
  nashjc: OK on 300
  rj_ren: $300 of cds ok with me
  passed unanimously.

  • refund Carback his food expenses too: $190. Unanimous.
  • clarify that Programming Olympics prize is $500. (wiki is wrong). Unanimous.
