[Shaden Smith]

I would like to thank everyone for attending! That meeting was exponentially more productive than I expected it to be. I hope to see all of you at our next meeting.

Today we had our July meeting at the Eagle Creek Library. What was

expected to be a very short and low attendance meeting turned into what

was probably the best meeting that we have had to date. There were a

total of 12 people there and we met for the full 3 hours discussing what

we feel the future meetings should be like. We decided that we want to

have a set day of the month for our meetings. The 1st Thursday of the

month at 9:00PM will be the time for our irc meetings while the 3rd

Saturday will be reserved for our IRL meetings. We have decided to have

the majority of our meetings at the Eagle Creek branch and when

necessary we will go to the Tates Creek branch or East Side Tech.



The general flow of the meetings will look something like this for now

(times subject to change):



3:00            Start the meeting

3:00 - 3:20     Shameless self promotion. Go around the room and tell

your name and what you do.

3:30 - 4:00     User centered presentation. Something that new users

will be able to keep up with and that is not super technical (i.e.

installing packages)

4:10 - 4:40     Business centered presentation. Something that will

benefit members that use linux in a work environment (i.e. hardening the

kernel)

4:40 - 5:00     Open discussion
