The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Western Pennsylvania Linux Users Group was held on Tuesday, December 9, 2008, at 7:20 PM, at 6374 Morrowfield Avenue in Squirrel Hill, the regular presiding officer being in the chair and the Secretary being present.  The minutes of the October 27 and November 10, 2008 meetings were approved as read.

The Vice-Chair reported that he has been in touch with Elwin Green regarding a possible community activity WPLUG could get involved with, but has not yet seen a concrete plan.  He also reported that a $25 donation was received from a member.

The Secretary reported that minutes of the most recent membership meeting have not yet been posted.

The Program Committee reported that if anyone wishes to make donations to the Wilkins School Community Center, they can provide receipts for such.  The committee is looking into several local public libraries as possible installfest locations.

The Internet Committee reported that Yaakov Nemoy with the OpenStreetMap project requested that WPLUG host a mailing list on its server for used by local participants in the project.  It was moved to authorize the committee to create such a mailing list.  The motion was adopted.  The committee also reported that the wiki has been configured to use friendlier URLs.
