* Sendar
** Finished re-installation following the crash.
** Switched mail back to sendar
** Set up a backup system (we're backing up to a virtual machine hosted by Brent)
** Still to do
*** database synchronization with backup
*** scripted process to activate backup as primary in case of need
* Social Events
** Grill party at Alain Rassel's place
** Christmas dinner
* LLL
** Upgraded servers of ''Pirate Party'' and ''Eng nei Schaff'' to LLL based on Kubuntu 14.04 (from 12.04)
** A new partner association: ''Wäisse Rank''. They will get a new LLL version based on Debian. Later this version will be rolled out to the 2 other sites as well.
** Unfortunately, as a new director took office at LGL, he removed the LLL system.

== Outlook/plans to the future ==

* Our ''Linux-basic'' class slides need updating.
* Idea: organize classes to teach small an medium enterprises of Luxembourg how to use a Raspberry pi (or clone/competitor) as a thin client (or even as a not-so-thin client)
* In Q4 this year, our club will have existed for twenty years. This is worthy of celebration. Maybe a two-day bootcamp at ENS? Maybe we could do something together with MCCL?
* Register in our club in the commune of Contern, so that we can benefit from a room there too, or maybe even a subsidy.

== "Rapport de Caisse" / "Rapport du réviseur de caisse" ==

* at the beginning of the exercise (2016), we had 3567.49€ on our CCP account
* throughout 2016 we received 345€, all of which were membership dues
* 581.59€ were spent (AG and Christmas meals, postage stamps, membership card blanks, bank fees, ...)
* at the end of 2016 we had 3330.90€ on our account
* Our cash box staid constant at 252.25€

Our accounting has been verified by one ''réviseur de caisse'' (Pierre Fonck) and we gave ''décharge'' to the ''trésorier''.

== "Décharge du Comité" ==

... has been granted.

== Election of the New Board ==

Our current board has been confirmed (voted unanimously):

These are:
* Thierry Coutelier, president
* Gilles Maria-Sube, treasurer
* Brent Frère, vice-president
* Alain Knaff, secretary

Pierre Fonck and Patrick Kleeblatt are réviseur de caisse

== Membership due ==

* Membership due stays at 15€

== Miscellaneous ==

* When faced with vendors that are less than friendly to the community, we should nevertheless stay customers, and complain, rather than leave to boycott. A boycott might not be "noticed", however a barrage of complaints will.
