The Vice-Chair reported that he is working on finalizing job descriptions for the chairmen of the Internet Committee and Wilkins School Networking Committee. Jim Harris volunteered to help with this effort. The Vice-Chair also reported that he has printed WPLUG business cards and distributed them at the meeting. In addition, he noted that curtains have been installed in the auditorium of the Wilkins School Community Center which may help the acoustics of the room.

The Wilkins School Networking Committee reported that there has been no recent activity to complete the wired installation; Terry Golightly will attempt to arrange a date with David Kraus to finish off the remaining work.
Terry Golightly stated that a company called Skybot is interested in presenting on their software. It was suggested that this might be a suitable subject for the January or February General User Meetings, and additionally that we may wish to have SNAPgh co-host the presentation.
