  1. Meeting called to order
  2. Previous 2 meetings' minutes read and approved
  3. Status of General Meeting Videos - Tabled
  4. Podcasting meetings - Discussed. Decided not to do it at this point. Audio of our meetings not very useful without video. Besides, we don't even have the video thing going.
  5. NBLUG member suggestion: post linux questions to panel at meetings - Discussed. Didn't work well before. Might work well with questions gathered ahead of time, but mailing list seems like a better venue for questions like that
  6. Linux news (not on agenda) - Discussed Kyle's idea for presenting some recent Linux news items at the start of the meeting -- he'll try again with more organization than last time
  7. General meetings:
    1. Nov. Meeting - WRT54G - discussed briefly
    2. Dec. Meeting - Discussed various options; final answer: A Panel discussion comparing different Linux distributions -- exactly who will be involved hasn't been decided yet.
    3. January meeting: - Kyle will give a DVD talk
    4. February meeting: - Resolved: after checking with Rob, we'll reschedule the February meeting to the previous Tuesday, February 7th.
  8. Splunk sponsorship of a meeting - discussed - no real resolution, other than that we're more interested in speakers than free pizza...
  9. Status of previous action items - summaries given - Rob is liason, an access point was purchased, Kyle's been trying to mention the raffle policies more at meetings
  10. mirrors - Resolved: Augie's now in charge
  11. Flyers - Resolved: removed from agenda
  12. TaxID/non-profit Status - Tabled; Jake's item and he wasn't at the meeting
