Agenda Item 4: Fall Projects Review – Discussion

- Roger and Nancy gave a joint report on the Acreage and Seed Project

- Shirley reported on the Short Wave Radio Project.

- Then Brent gave a report on the Server Project, this one sparking quite a bit of discussion. Roger thought he might know of a Linux user who could help, and will check it out.

 

Agenda Item 5: Independent Booklet Printing – Discussion and Vote

- Since the Booklet is already available on the web in printable PDF, the Board could see no problem in allowing individuals to print it, but it was agreed that a disclaimer should be added. Brent suggested something like: "reproduce in total, and no charge for distribution".

- Motion, made by Nancy, seconded by Roger: “THAT we add to the Operations page, where the PDF files are found and can be downloaded, such a statement.” Carried unanimously.

- It was also agreed that the statement could be added to the content of the PDF files, and downloaded as part of the Booklet.

 

Roger moved to adjourn and the motion was seconded by Nancy. The meeting was officially adjourned at 19:50, UT.
