Items for Discussion

Instead of cluttering the agenda above, I'm going to put some notes here. Relevant items can be folded into the minutes later. Feel free to add to this. Vance 14:03, 12 February 2007 (EST)

• Vice-Chair's report
  • Out of brochures - discuss design and printing of new ones
  • Should V-C have an inventory of brochures, business cards, CDs, stickers, etc. to mail out to folks who inquire about WPLUG?

• Program Comittee
  • We could use a database of experts. I've had a couple of people ask about "So when are you going to have someone speak on Xen? I asked about that a few months ago." or "When is a python talk coming up?". These people obviously don't realize the work required to find speakers on these topics, if we had a database, that would be helpful.
  • Meeting at Team-1 systems next Tuesday

• PR Committee
  • Joint happy hour-like event with TiE Pittsburgh
  • Survey
  • Certification study group

• Newsletter Committee
  • January issue out
  • Three books distributed to reviewers
  • Can use content for February issue

• New Business
  • Organize a BarCamp event in Pittsburgh for user groups?
