Please read this email in its entirety before replying, Important information concerning future meetings and list postings are here. It is a long one. Information concerning the topics of the next two meetings are at the end of this email. Attendance: I was really hoping that attendance to this meeting would be better. Only Jonathan, Peter Hein, and myself attended. We know that there is an interest in town for a group such as ours. This was proven at the November meeting. In the meeting tonight it was firstly decided that we are tired of having meetings to plan our planning. Our current topics of conversation have been being discussed since October. The consensus seems to be that the groups need to merge or there needs to be just one group. As such we decided to make this so this evening, under the MorLUG name. The politics of how the groups should be merged are doing more harm to the groups than good, and in the end everyone will loose interest. We chose MorLUG because it is the more general term and seems to carry the favor of more people based on the previous 2 meetings. David Riggs, at the last meeting stated that a LUG isn't only for discussing linux, but technology in general that interests members of the group. Having meetings dedicated to Free software and copyleft, and advocating free software is still, and always will be a function of this group. The idea's of MorFree aren't going anywhere.(Continue reading)
Five in attendance.
IIRC, the goal that David Krovich put forth originally was to have a
constitution in place and be able to hold elections after 1 year. Well,
according to the date stamps on my emails that is coming up in a couple
of months.
I propose that we start getting on the ball about this.
A basic agenda, that I think would be useful at this point in time
would be something like this (i'm pulling all of this from previous
emails and meetings):
1) Discuss Mission statement, approve.
2) Discuss Membership and Dues
3) draft constitution ... possibly form a sub-group that can meet and
hammer it out.
4) get an update on the student organization
5) outline ideas for future meetings
6) determine a time and place to hold future meetings on regular
intervals, that seems to fit most people's schedules.
I'd like to suggest the dates of October 26th or October 27th (thats
the week after next) to have a meeting to figure out where to go from
here and get everything moving that needs to be accomplished by years
end.
I was also thinking that it might be fun to come up with a group
project. Something that we can develop as a group, and release under a
