• October minutes on website approved.
• September's still needs to be converted to the dokuwiki format from the Slack channel records. This will have to wait until next meeting.
• Going forward it is agreed to include the relevant portions of the agenda as part of the minutes.

• No new people at the last meeting. It was a fairly small group.
• Alex was there and there was some lively discussion

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• This will be taken off the agenda as the task has been completed.

• Clean up the wiki landing pages and archive the content that is out of date and unused.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.

• There does not appear to be much traction on this topic in spite of the meeting being in the calendar available to everyone

• Scott
• John

• Open discussion about scripting
• A brief contrast between DOS and *nix for accepting console input would be interesting

Suggestion for making every December a panel/lightning talk session
