[Lancaster] did some work on the server

[Ken Hough]

Taylor,

Agreed! Emphasis must be on getting 'bums on seats' to justify the 
setup. We must find ways of making people aware of the benefits of Linux 
and the Folly setup.

We should be able to put together some advertising (using Linux of 
course, eg SCRIBUS). I could do some printing (A4, black and white) via 
my Laserjet printer. I also have an A3 inkjet printer, but that tends to 
gobble up ink.

I think you've covered most important topics for immediate attention 
except perhaps for some additional furniture. The room does look rather 
spartan and not too friendly at present.
