LINUX USER GROUP BAMENDA

REPORT OF MEETING ON 28TH OF JULY 2007

The meeting followed the normal traditional pattern,it started at exactly 1.00pm whiteman time. The following issues were discussed:

1)Members to create Skypte addresses or Yahoo Instant Messenger for forum chating. Members were asked to come to the Baptist Centre Cyber Café to create these addresses on Wednesday from 12.00pm to 1.00pm or from 4.00pm upwards. The importance of these addresses was not only for communication with our oversea partners but also for communication in the group.

2) Finally it was concluded that members can give their opinion about the group individually by sending an email to lugbamenda@immerda.ch so that any member and our oversea partners can read freely.
