MATTERS ARISING

1. AGM - Julian won't be able to make it and the accounts won't be ready until the end of the June. Agreed to postpone AGM until next Business meeting. Need to cancel booking for next Saturday (ACTION: Woodsy)

2. Belgium - We're not taking the LTSP suite because Mike and Bails talked themselves out of it

REPORTS

1. Groupware - Ben demo'd the horde groupware he's been configuring and managing for Psand and that we can now use for internal communication. Check it out, keep a tab open. Any bugs , glitches report to Ben.

2. Financial Report - Julian showed us the working accounts , there's about £14,000 (copies in the lab) in the bank, but Accounts Receivable is very down, so we need to look at ways of raising cash (big funding bid/trading increase)

3. Recycling Project / Unmet Needs - sales not going too well. Voscur want to be invoiced with full details of all sales before payment, but will extend the project to 160 machines. We need to ensure commitment to supply by Byteback (ACTION : SEAN)

4. UFI Update - seems to be a problem with some of the equipment on powercycling after brown outs (getting just like the 70s!) Sam and Lloyd have a workaround plan involving mini ups, agreed Sam would buy some to test.

5. Knowle west project - Progressing

AOB

1. Woodsy has gone to Sunderland to sell LTSP, he'll report back soon
