[GLLUG] Board of Directors Meeting - Notes

[Jeff lawton]

Thank you very much Curt. I remember a few additional things that I 
thought where important to mention.

1) During install nights also have a project (hands on) something to do 
while we are waiting for peoples systems to install.
    such as mythtv, clusters, etc...
2) Having people RSVP to the list so that I know how many pizzas to bring.
