The fol. decisions were taken...

 - Mailing list subject line will contain no pre-fix. The prefix
"ilug-cochin" will be added only in case of difficulty in filtering
mails
 - Manoj Victor Mathew would be the home page web master and Shanu, the
list admin.
 - Only subscribers will be allowed to post to the list

* A final Q&A session

	Attendance has been consistent over the last 3 months (20+) which is a
good sign. However, space constraints at the present venue is proving to
be a problem. With the mailing list already active and the home page
soon to be commissioned, the user list can only go up. The hunt for a
new venue (or a sponsor) is currently top priority for the LUG and the
members have promised to look into the matter.

	On this note we split up.
