Patrick presented three different designs for the newsletter cover that were created in a joint effort by himself, Jeff Setaro and Anna Collens. A vote took place and the majority of the board preferred the second design with dacs.doc in white, lowercase letters on a blue background.

Sean asked Charlie to send out an email to the membership requesting people to assist him with contacting local media representatives in an effort to better market DACS.

A discussion took place on whether the Special Interest Groups which are now referred to by the acronym SIG, should be renamed to Workshops.

Sean Henderson suggested the idea of starting up a new Microsoft Vista SIG. It was decided to mention the idea to the membership at the next general meeting to see if there was any interest.
