Hello all,<br>
<br>
Nick Bannon, Jason Nicholls and I had a meeting today with
LotteryWest staff at their office in Osborne Park to explain the
grant request for the AV project. The meeting lasted around an hour,
and we had to explain what PLUG was and what we do, how we're run,
and explain the concept of Free Software and what the role of PLUG
is as a LUG in the community. They seemed particularly pleased that
we had already got a working proof of concept for the project, and
all seemed satisfied there were no issues with getting approved, but
this is still (!) going to take some time - possibly January or
February.<br>
<br>
One of the items they were keen on was tangible benefits to the
community - such as the (free) availability of the videos, and the
(free) availability of the documentation for how to repeat what
we're doing. <br>
<br>
Jason, Nick - anything to add?<br>
<br>
<br>
See you tonight at the Moon & Six Pence.<br>
<br>
James<br>
