VP Programs – Chuck Horner
December: elections and home brew presentation - Diane will shows Joomla, the new Web site management software. Jan will do something, to be announced. Chuck will do a segment on tips and tricks.
January: Chuck suggests Clancy Priest from the City of Hayward to show "accesshayward.com", the Citizen's Relations Management site for Hayward. The site pushes citizen-requested tasks to department managers which must be handled within 48 hrs. Reportedly, more is getting done than before this system was implemented.

Elsie will contact O'Reilly Books to see if one of their authors is interested in presenting at the Main Meeting.
We need to approach Smart Computing about doing a presentation.

Webmaster - Diane George:
The Joomla-based Web site is presently running in parallel with the on-line Web site. It can now be accessed by the general membership at www.pcc.org/joomla152/ or from the link on the top page. SIG leaders can do their own Web pages, minutes can be posted there, and other files can be posted there for access by PCC members. Diane likes the calendar software as it carries forward recurring information automatically. All maintenance is greatly simplified. Diane will show new Web site features at the Dec. Main Meeting.
Calendar: reviewed and approved.
Fund Raiser:
Diane will procure the December raffle prize, probably an external hard drive and a USB flash drive for two drawings. Diane will pass the task of obtaining raffle prizes on to someone else in January.
