[wellylug] HuttLug Meeting

[Centurion Computer Technology Ltd]

The meeting is on tonight at 7:30, Youth For Christat 10 Raroa Rd,
downstairs at the back of the building.

I will endeavor to put together a machine to use as a K12LTSP,to
demonstrate tonight.  

We will also be having a discussion about the running of the HuttLug, as
I cannot do everything my self, nor do I want to.  I would be
appreciative if there are others to share the load, sepecially as there
has been talk of Installfests and such like.

Cheers,
	Daniel
