Planned Technical Meeting: Thursday November 9th

Swap meet!! Also hopefully in attendance will be members of PCIG, ham radio club, students from RCTC, and the general public. But in order to do this, we NEED YOUR HELP! How?

-Bring your stuff to sell/swap.

-Bring your computer stuff that needs to go to the recycling ($0.35/pound).

-Bring a bathroom scale that's accurate at low weight ranges, so we can figure out the appropriate recycling fee to charge.

-Bring your truck and be willing to take a load to the recycling during the recycling center's open hours (Mondays-Saturdays, 8-5).

-Coordinate the pizza fundraiser, buy pizza and pop plus bring paper plates and disposable cups in quantities sufficient for those who show up. Will be reimbursed out of the profits from the fundraiser (charge is a donation).

-Making some Ubuntu CDs to give away

-Posting

Volunteers are needed to post to many locations. Please sign up to be the poster for the following (suggestions welcome):

-Craigslist

-IBM calendar - Tim M.

-PCIG website - Tim M.

-Ham radio club - Tim M.

-Mayo classifieds

-Rochester Freecycle (limited to free pick-up of non-swapped items headed for recycling at the end of the swap)

-RCTC bulletin boards - in hard copy

Please RSVP for what tasks you can help with. If I haven't heard from anyone on a task, I'll have to start pestering people. This has got to be a group effort to be successful.
