		+	If we collect money for food, any profit should be either put into the Kwartzlab Project Fund (which I probably just created) and/or [http://www.ubuntu.com/community/donations donated to the Ubuntu project] (or [http://www.spi-inc.org/donations Debian].

		+	=== Local Repo ===
		+	It'd be great if we had a copy of the Karmic repository in the Lab. I think our 'net connection is pretty good, but local gigabit is better.
