| − | '''MEETING START'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The meeting was called to order at 2:17 pm. Four WPLUG members and three guests were in attendance. Director-at-large John Lewis was absent.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The reading of the November GUM minutes was dispensed.

| |
| − | '''REPORT OF OFFICERS'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1. Chair Pat Barron reports that the WPLUG Twitter account is now under the board's control. It will be used for general communication purposes until the board decides otherwise.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (It originally belonged to a WPLUG member, but nobody could remember who, so an ownership dispute was filed with Twitter.)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We have space reserved at WSCC for the February meeting so we won't have to move the location again.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. Vice chair Justin Smith asked the members of the Investigating Committee if they'd like to continue serving in 2013. Michael Hansell, the current chair, offered to resign because he lives too far away to conduct in-person investigations and recommended Bill Moran as his replacement. Bill has yet to respond; Mark Dalrymple and Dave Ostroske want to remain on the committee.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Justin created an invitation-only Google+ account for WPLUG that will serve as a placeholder in case we decide to incorporate Google+ into WPLUG's communication strategy.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Justin asked Hack Pittsburgh if they'd be willing to let WPLUG hold its meeting in their facility. Hack Pittsburgh would allow us to do so as long as a Hack Pittsburgh member is present at all times. Since this is a cumbersome restriction, it's doubtful that WPLUG will pursue this lead any farther.

| |
| − | ''-> Begin off-topic''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Treasurer Terry Golightly reminded Justin that WPLUG has a formal agreement with the Wilkins School Community Center (where WPLUG currently holds its meetings) whereby we're responsible for connecting their campus computers to the Internet. The board turned the project over to Brian Seklecki. He, in turn, turned it over to a friend named “Tom,” and nobody knows what's happened since then.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Ted (non-member) offered to contact Brian to see whether Wilkins is satisfied with what we've done so far. The original plan was to create a wireless network for them, but because they prefer wired connections, our plans were thrown off. There are still gaps in the Wilkins network that need filled.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Dave Sevick (guest) offered to donate routers to the Wilkins project and pointed out that Mac Outfitters in Cranberry Township offers free meeting space to any technology-related organization.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''-> End off-topic''
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Former WPLUG member David C. Brown wants to sponsor WPLUG. He's still waiting to hear from the board.
| |

| − |

| − |
| |
| − | '''NEW BUSINESS'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1. Chair Pat Barron proposed a bylaw amendment that would eliminate the distinction between physical meetings and virtual meetings for the board, and Terry seconded the motion. Joe read the amendment's text.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 4 out of 4 members present voted in favor. The amendment will be presented to the WPLUG membership for final approval via absentee ballot.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. Dave Sevick talked about a new opportunity for recycling computers and formatting them with Linux at ITT Technical Institute.
