In attendance

The meeting ran from 16:45 to 17:51.


Previous meeting minutes

Accepted as accurate. These cannot be ratified until the next AGM.

Ratified.


CAUUG website

The Canberra AUUG website is available at http://www.canb.auug.org.au.

Steven Rothwell can arrange access. An email requesting access for Martin and Michael was sent, and Stephen responded that policy documentation needed to be signed by both Martin and Michael. This has now been completed, and access granted. An update to the website can now be undertaken.

Tested and works.

Should work, untested.

Big bang change suggested. Martin volunteers. Michael will help.

All meeting minutes will be made available on the website except for those whose commercial in confidence nature makes this impossible.


Co-opting other committee members

        Hello,
        
        At the CAUUG AGM on 30 November 2002, the members present elected Martin 
        Schwenke (president@canb.auug.org.au) President of CAUUG. Bob Edwards 
        was elected Treasurer (treasurer@canb.auug.org.au, and Michael Still was 
        elected Secretary (secretary@canb.auug.org.au. The term for these 
        elections are until the next AGM, which will be in approximately November
        2003.
        
        The committee believes that a reasonable goal for the coming year is to:
         - host four technical symposiums (the first one having been held on 
           30 November 2002)
         - and promote the use of Open Source and Unix based solutions within 
           local government
        
        The new committee feels that there are good reasons to co opt more people
        onto the committee for the 2002-2003 period, in order to ease the 
        workload associated with pursuing our goals for the year.
        
        We are also especially interested in people who feel that they have 
        specific skills or contacts which will assist in the pursuit of this 
        agenda.
        
        Therefore, the CAUUG committee invites expressions of interest in being 
        co opted onto the CAUUG committee for the period 2002-2003. The committee
        can be contacted by email at committee@canb.auug.org.au.
        
        Thanks for your time,
        Michael Still
        Secretary, CAUUG

Send this. Consider Steve cooped. There is a helpers mailing list as well which should be advertised in the email.

We should ask to be kept informed.


Finances

Unknown at this point. This is still being investigated.

$290

No.

Yes, and Stephen Rothwell should get some money for the monthly UUnite meetings expenses (drinks and chips).


Open Source advocacy

Still being clarified.

Currently on pause as Ted Quinlan's adviser is away. Should we appoint Steve our official government liaison?

Steve Jenkin was unable to attend this committee meeting. The committee agreed to wait until he is available to make a report before taking further action on this item.

Bob is pursuing open source advocacy within the ACT education system. The next step there is to run a couple of half day workshops for teachers. Install / config, and programming (scripting and stuff).

We should also get into contact with Tom Worthington...


Technical symposium


AUUGN

There was some discussion of the current state of AUUGN, and the lack of CAUUG contact details in the most recent issue.


Next meeting

Agreed
