2009.03.16 Meeting Notes

Location

Project Reports

• Installfests — Alex has looked into holding an IF in the Blanchard meeting room at the Davis Public library, but the room was booked for the day(s) he was looking at.
• LERT — No news. Bill has suggested we consider discontinuing LERT, since it's not used very often, and Henry seems to be the only volunteer.
• Library — Henry delivered some of the library to Bill, who still needs to go through the books and mail them to CSU Bakersfield. Four students from Chico were in attendance, and said they would also be willing to take some books.

Other Business

• Whole Earth Festival - Nick Schmalenberger has the application and filled it out, and requested comments. Bill suggested going ahead and submitting it (the deadline is soon: March 28th). WEF takes place on Mother's Day weekend in May. We'll need volunteers to burn CDs and staff the booth.
• Venue needed - The Davis branch of the Yolo County Library will be undergoing renovation soon. They are not booking meetings for June and beyond, and renovation will apparently take approximately one full year. So LUGOD will need a new place to meet during that period (June 2009 thru June 2010, or so).
• News — The next LUGOD meetings will be April 20th ("something computer science related") and May 18th (Oracle Technology Network). This past weekend marked the 15th anniversary of the 1.0 release of the Linux Kernel.
• Financial Report — $13.89 in voluntary dues were collected.
