Hi All,
If any one who is going to the fixit meeting has a
Feisty 64bit install disc it would be helpful as I
downloaded a 64 bit version of Feisty .ISO and saved it to
my windows ntfs partition then burned it with my Gnomebaker
in Dapper only to find the CD had two file errors on it.
Maybe dragging it across to Ubuntu corrupted them.
Also if I can get a successful install(64 or 32 bit) I
would probably need a help with my broadcom wireless card
set up.
Regards John

Given Ian's information, if anyone has the 7.10 beta I would
appreciate it.

Folks,
Here is another periodic notice to remind you that the AGM will be
held on 24th September 2007.
For you to vote you must be an official member, although you have 90
days to pay if you do not have the $20 with you at the AGM.
The method of voting proposed for the AGM is simple first past the
post voting. We will put this to a vote at the AGM so if people feel
strongly about STV for example, and the majority agree, then we can
have STV. You will be required to have a method of counting the vote
though so if you wish for STV you will need an electronic system for
this.
It is proposed to alter the first paragraph of rule 9 of the charter
(which is our constitution) from:
The funds of the society shall be held under the control of the
officers of the committee. The treasurer and secretary shall have
joint required signing rights, and operate the bank accounts, handle
investments, and make payments as needed.
to:
The funds of the society shall be held under the control of the
officers of the committee. The officers shall have joint signing
rights with a minimum of two signatories required, and operate the
bank accounts, handle investments, and make payments as needed.
The purpose of this change is so that the president or vice president
can also sign cheques (which they cannot do at present). As a
safeguard there must be a minimum of two signatories.
