Description

Action

 

Apologies (See above) & carried forward items.

 

1.1.

Running the FSIG Group. It looks as if we need a new secretary and possibly a chair too given the non-attendance of Martin and Patricia and their current commitments.

KF to email P.S. and M.W. re: non-participation and we’ll replace them at the next meeting hopefully.

Also it was reported that Henry Waters had effectively resigned as Chair of the main ISTUG Group. Raise in ISTUG Committee.

(Suggested Gordon Hancock as a possible new chair).

Minutes from last meeting….

 

1.4

Items for FSIG sessions at ISTUG.

  1. Can Hierarchies be carried forward. Don’t think it’s applicable for June meeting.
  2. JW Up-dated us from meeting with Sage that will re-write JUNE meeting as a full day for Sage on User Group relationship etc. Agenda to be agreed/decided and formulated.
  3. Still a possible need to have something for breakout session at June meeting. Sage are keen to support SIG’s and build relationship. Invite Sheila Brisland to the next FSIG meeting at Sage on the 13/08/03

1.5

Need to re-focus group and its purpose and then issue it out to all users – Ask for or raise options for a Workshop or ‘Surgery Format’ – Bring your issues and get them answered. Move away from current format of essentially a ‘meeting’. Could review FAQ on the web-site for some ideas.

 

1.6

Draw up FSIG Hit-List, problems people have had and got resolved to generate both interest and to get people involved.

 

1.7

KF to write a piece about FSIG and give it to JW for it to be emailed out and be placed on the website.

KF

1.8

Ask Dave Patterson at the next ISTUG meeting to come to the August meeting of FSIG for our input on reporting

NJ

1.9

Suggested that NJ will run the FSIG session if it takes place at the next Istug meeting in June as KF will not be there, or if not perhaps she can organise for someone else to cover instead.

Take Item on System Keys from last meeting forward and JW to pass to NJ to carry forward to September meeting
