 How do the committee and others feel about throwing some money in a
 worthwhile direction?
 

Dan asked if we would like to make a donation in the form of sponsoring the
sausage sizzle tomorrow. (ALERT: CBNSW event tomorrow, see
http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug/2004/03/msg00061.html for details)

I think it sound like a great idea, so I vote yes.

 I'd like to propose SLUG make a donation for this.  There's a fairly
 large crossover between CB and SLUG membership, and SLUG has made use of
 their facilities a few times in the past.  We've been trying to move our
 events a little further west than the CBD for a while, and CB have been
 helping out a lot.

I think SLUG ought to be quite choosy about where it spends it's money.
SLUG does not have a revenue stream that allows for spending on impulse.
Perhaps we ought to ask some questions, such as:

- How many solutions has Computerbank NSW / Sydney actually delivered in
the last 12 months? 

- What would be Computerbank's long term storage funding plan once
SLUG's / LA's money runs out?

The committee ought to think long and hard about where it invests SLUG's
money and investigate thoroughly just how effective that investment will
be for the SLUG community at large.
