UPDATE ON LAST MEETING
———————-
Finance:
Missing cheque found. Jason has audited account. We have around £200 in the pot. Still owed T-Shirt payments. Once nodes are rolled out and training completed, we will get £3000 for upkeep of the network. Owed money from ECC to pay tutors for courses we ran.
ERN:
All PCs rolled out, 4 connected to network. Paul to arrange training of users. Rich & Jim to arrange install of the last 6 nodes.
Machines all have RedHat 9 installed, not Fedora as requested. Suggest reinstall done, and invoice sent to LinuxIT.

MATTERS ARISING
—————
Website:
New site looking great. Old wiki to be moved to one of our servers with password protection. New site to go live next week with the new wiki.
Bannerman Road Distro:
School are happy with the progress. Possibly changing the school IT suite to dual boot Linux (paid project). We have 20 machines waiting to be built before distribution to parents. Should be done by end of next week.
Creative Commons:
Hamish suggests that we have a message on the website informing users of liability and copyright issue. We are going to use GPL for the website/wiki, and media will be licensed by the original author.
Linux Day:
Cancelled due to lack of interest. Possibly redo for April.

AOB

Bitorrent:
We should install a tracker on the server to distribute our media.
