Investigating Committee:  No report.

Marketing and Communications Committee:  No report.

''New business:''

Justin mentions that if WPLUG has any need for presentation agreement (e.g., laptop that a speaker could use), Justin's new company is giving away some hardware and if there is any interest in that Justin could investigate and either ship back or transport back on a future visit to Pittsburgh.

Terry advanced an idea for a future event where people could bring their hardware for troubleshooting if they had problems.  We'd require that they sign a release before assisting them.  We had a template for such a release before, and were considering having an attorney look it over, but the idea never went anywhere.  We have nothing planned for April, we could potentially do this then.  A possible location could be the Monroeville library where we previously did an installfest.

It was noted that our contact at the Monroeville library is also a supported of the CPUsers group in Tarentum.  It was asked if anyone had had any contact with CPUsers Group recently, no one has.

''Old business:''

None

There being no further business, it was moved to adjourn the meeting.  The motion was adopted.  The meeting was adjourned at 7:55pm.
