Meeting called to order
Previous 2 meetings' minutes read and approved
Status of General Meeting Videos - Tabled
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.
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
