The Board was brought to order almost exactly on time by Case, the new General Manager. Other people on the scene included in no particular order: Adam G. Adam R. Andrew George Partha Sean Sam Boyd Hank Robert M. Shannon Mike Scott C. Scott D.

The first order of business was to vote Sean back onto the Board so there would be someone to take minutes. The vote was 9 to 0 in favor. (Not everyone mentioned above was there at the very start of the meeting.)

Case spoke: He went to the EJC and put something in the E-Week program. The EJC has their funding but hasn't decided how to divide their money.

Scott C. was voted in as Treasurer.

Case continued: We have three dead machines back, but they are still dead. The meeting with Ron has been taken care of... HP has a grant program and he is looking into getting a piece of it for us.

On the lpd project (Adrian was not present, conspicuously enough...), it is not yet finished but work continues.

Tutorials: We a few weeks before anything needs to be done with that.

As for this summer: Things will be left to those of us who will be left around. (Partha was seen rubbing his hands together in glee...)

A standard environment was discussed. However, the topic quickly changed to documentation for new users. It was decided that documentation is good, but what and for whom needs to be decided.

WHAT: Mail, editor, X...

WHO: Those who can't help themselves.

After much debate, tasks were given out, and they went like this: Scott D. - How to log in, How to log out, and How to change passwords Robert - Basic Unix(tm) commands George - How to use mail Partha - Emacs guide

That was pretty much it. The meeting broke up a little early and we all moved down to the second floor...
