      • Bevan had some conversations with Citylink but that didn't lead on
      • Josh Waihi tried to connect with someone in the NZX building next door who have Citylink fibre, but hasn't had luck (yet)
      • Bevan has connected with Richard at R2 who thinks he may be able to help us with either NZX fibre plus backhaul, or an alternative link (Satellite, wireless P2P, mobile CafeNet?)
      • Richard can't yet confirm what or how much and we should continue to pursue alternatives
    • 2 lunches
      • According to menus on the website, $25 pp per meal should be enough, but we need to have a conversation with Gail about it to confirm
    • Name badges
      • This is the bare minimum needed for stationary
    • Printed programme and other stationary
      • I think we spent about $300 on materials and some printing for combined name badge and programme for DS Chch, but Gold did much of it by hand and there were half the number of attendees. We will probably need to pay a printing company to do it.
    • Banner with sponsors' logos
