Motion: That the minutes of the Committee Meeting held by
teleconference on the 22nd February 2005 accurately reflect the
proceedings of that meeting.

motion was passed without dissent, with six votes in favour and one
abstention.
2. Change of registered office
Motion: That Linux Australia's registered business office be changed
to the North Sydney office of Minerva Technology Lawyers.
After discussion, it was decided that this issue could be postponed, and
the motion was thus deferred until one of the executive could meet with
the Minerva people.
3. Linux Professional Institute Activities Budget
Motion: That Pia Smith be authorised access to funds necessary to
cover LPI events and activities related to linux.conf.au 2005, with
total amount not to exceed $2000; that Miss Smith be directed by the
committee to show discretion in the use of such funds; and that the
committee shall review LPI related income and expenses by 1st June
2005, with a view to ensuring the sustainability and effectiveness
of our involvement in LPI.
The motion was proposed by Pia Smith and seconded by Mark Tearle. After
some discussion, the motion was passed unanimously.
4. Media Training
Motion: That the quote offered to Linux Australia for media training
in Canberra on April 20th, for a group of eight or more (to include
the linux.conf.au 2006 organisers and others), for $4198.70
(including GST) be accepted.
The motion was proposed by Pia Smith and seconded by Jonathan Oxer. The
motion was passed unanimously.
(5) Community Code Project
Motion: That a sub-committee of Linux Australia be established in
accordance with the proposal presented to the committee by Matthew
Palmer on the 26th of March, 2005, and that the Linux Australia
committee shall offer appropriate assistance to the sub-committee,
in particular with respect to insurance concerns. The sub-committee
shall be known as the "Community Code Project", and the committee
chair shall be Mary Gardiner.
Pia Smith indicated that she has participated in some of the Community
Code group's meetings already, and that she was very happy for Linux
Australia to get involved. The treasurer indicated that he had spoken
with our insurance broker regarding Community Code's requirements, and
indicated that he was confident that we could meet their needs.
The motion was proposed by Pia Smith and seconded by Jonathan Oxer. The
motion was passed unanimously.
Mark Tearle will draft a sub-committee charter and send it to Mary Gardiner.
The formal portion of the meeting ended at 21:25.
