- AvExpo Presentation:
- Discussed whether the LUG will do a presentation at Avalon Expo this year.
- Noted that the current presentation has been used a few times, and some fresh content or slightly different focus would be good.
- Opting not to do a presentation this show.
- Fall LUG Show
- Discussed whether the LUG will do another show of its own this year.
