 ===== Regular Agenda Items =====
@@ Line 37: / Line 35: @@
 ==== Committee Reports ====
-==== New to Linux (New Users) ====
+=== New to Linux (New Users) ===
-  * No new people at the last meeting. It was a fairly small group.
-  * Alex was there and there was some lively discussion
-==== L3GO (Low Level Linux Group) ====
-  * Question raised as whether or not to continue the meetings as Ian will likely be missing a number in the near future and others may not have the bandwidth to attend on a regular basis.
-  * Ian wants to keep it as a regular agenda item and will try to free up some time to attend.
-  * Better to show it as more than a mailing list. It is a small group, but closely related to OCLUG, being a specialized subgroup.
-==== OCLUG Distro Project Update ====
-  * some minor progress
-  * May need to review the status with others in the organization to clarify the problems
-  * I've got EFI and legacy versions, but not a dual that works, even though recipes seem to indicate they should work.
-  * Scott may be able to provide some feedback this coming Sunday.
-==== Treasurer's Report ====
-  * Bank balance 5,099.19 today.
-  * The card won't allow us to check at the machine, but the treasurer can take the card and driver's licence to the counter and they will tell him the balance.
-  * We really need to get set up with online access
-  * Scott will get receipts for the stickers and new site hosting to Ian for reimbursement.
-  * We need to get a cheque book for reimbursements
-  * We need to make some changes to the cheques, to account for current circumstances.
-  * Once we have decided on an address etc. for the cheques, we will communicate the financial institution to get things changed.
-==== Room Allocation ====
-==== Old Data Recovery ====
-  * This will be taken off the agenda as the task has been completed.
-==== Tux “Maintenance”: ====
-==== Online Activities ====
-  * Clean up the wiki landing pages and archive the content that is out of date and unused.
-  * Need to add something on the landing page to direct to L3GO activities and content.
-  * Add a stub (at least) for the mailing list.
-  * John to transfer content from the old site to the new site (wiki).
-  * Suggestion made by Scott, to keep both the static and the wiki sites
-  * Scott is looking for feedback on theme suggestions for the static site.
-  * The basic premise is that the wiki will be for dynamic content and the static site for stuff that does not change much.
