 I suppose we can think about the streaming another day. If we concentrate firstly on the audio, maybe we could stream the audio as that would be easier.

 There was talk about car pooling to and from meetings. This raised some interesting questions:

 If we find that there is a big demand for transport we will then have to think about how we are going to implement a safe structure in which people can ask for a lift and find someone they trust to take them to and from the meeting.  For now we are interested to see if this is a problem or not.

 Other suggestions throughout the night

+  *  Access to WIFI at the premises. This gets brought up a few times throughout the year and the I have spoken to the manager in the past. Currently there is no access to the WIFI and people usually use their phones to get some internet. We have found this works quite well. There is a chance to get access to the WIFI but we would have to chip in. I don't like dealing with money and want to keep MLUG free so people can just rock up and have a good time so I think this is out of the question. I'm open to suggestions or arguments here for or against. I find that if you really need internet at MLUG for getting a package/code or access to a server we can work something out for those issues pretty easy. I don't see a big need to all start chipping in and getting a WIFI plan, even if it was a dollar each, it's the hassle of collecting money.
