*****************************************************************************
In attendance: Lisa, Matt, Kevin, Scott, Dean.

== Pool Party ==

Seven and Linda are running the Pool Party.  How much should we allocate,
given that the room is free?  We decided on $200.  Linda arrived towards
the end of the meeting and indicated that this was fine as long as she
wasn't supposed to fit alcohol in that budget.  We agreed.

== Bank Accounts ==

The "Minicon 2005" account at Highland is closed.  Lisa brought the final
statement (which says "final statement").

== Copyprinter ==

Minicon has still (still) not yet decided whether it wants to use the
copyprinter for the program book.

Scott is hereby reminded that by the next meeting he is to find out what
the minimum usage requirements of the copyprinter are.

== Convivial/Fallcon ==

The hotel is still saying that they have not decided whether to charge us
for the broken couch.  What the heck?  It was 3 months ago and it's a
couch.  We continue to lean farther away from using this hotel again.

Laurel still says that she's running Convivial 4, but perhaps she is not
totally sure.  Perhaps if she decides against it we will ask Beth, who
more or less agreed to do it at Convivial 3.

== Minicon Publications on the Web ==

Matt reported on his progress at clarifying copyright/licensing status of
old Minicon program books.  He notes that *many* people have to be
contacted.  So far, no one who has responded has not been ok with putting
their work on the web.  Most have either granted us full rights or rights
to publish under Creative Commons.  A few people have said that web
publishing is ok, but that they'd have to consider what sharing they'd be
ok with.

== Einblatt ==

Scott reports that there are currently 3 paying paper Einblatt
subscribers.  Some more paper copies continue to go out to other fan
groups and another stack goes to local bookstores.  The total monthly
print run is currently 40.
