 0. {*} Linux Australia server - the council would like to extend their 
thanks to Bob Gobblieb from HP for the donation of disks for our array, 
and Bulletproof Hosting for their donation of RAM. Upgrades are 
currently taking place, which will enable us to provide future and 
expanded functionality.
 0. {*} Linux Australia meetings - Teleconference meetings will now take 
place fortnightly, with IRC meetings on alternate weeks to allow 
operational matters to be dealt with. Teleconferences may be scheduled 
in place of IRC meetings as needed.
 0. {*} LCA equipment - Steve Walsh will be travelling to Hobart next 
weekend to bring the LCA equipment back to Melbourne in preparation for 
shipping to LCA'10.
 0. {*} Brisbane Barcamp - an email was received from Clinton Roy 
requesting $300 in sponsorship to cover the shortfall from the recent 
Brisbane BarCamp.  The council agrees to cover this expense on a 
once-off basis; future requests for sponsorship will be required to be 
made prior to the event.
 0. {*} Proposal for podcast - an email was received from Daniel Sobey 
proposing provision of an official Linux Australia podcast, and 
requesting endorsement by the Linux Australia council.  The council has 
agreed that while a Linux focused podcast would be of interest to our 
members, Linux Australia will not endorse the podcast at this time. 
However, Linux Australia is willing to sponsor the podcast in terms of 
providing infrastructure for mirroring podcast content in a relevant 
format, and publicity via the Linux Australia mailing list.
 0. {*} CDs for SFD - the council wishes to extend their thanks to 
MediaMovers for their fast turnaround of the Software Freedom Day CDs on 
such a short timeframe, and apologises to any LUGs who may not have 
received theirs in time for SFD.
