+
* Tangible benefits for members
+
* Medium/Large scale Pittsburgh based Linux conference
+
* Training to the point of formal certification (see what's going on with the FreeBSD community)
+
* Strong SIGs that meet monthly
+
* Better WPLUG reputation -- local, national level -- with other lugs, FOSS in general, governments

+
* Grow membership by 50% each year
+
 
+
== Three Year Goals ==
+
* Regional conference on a yearly basis
+
* OS Desktop training sessions -- PrePrint workflow, photo workflow, etc.  More of a classroom instruction session  see about working with ProTech or something
+
* Tiered membership program
+
** associate, student, professional, etc
+
** provides infrastructure for tangible benefits
+
* Incorporate with the state
+
* Crossover membership with other PGH technology organizations
+
** In a regional sense -- connect with other Linux/BSD/Free Software Groups
+
** Ohio, WVULug, CPlug, BPLUG, PSLUG
+
** regional alliances
+
** (aka getting in touch with other organizations that serve a similar purpose)
+
 
+
== One Year Goals ==
+
* getting committees functioning
+
** start with individual people
+
** put people on the committee that are active and willing to do the tasks within the scope
+
** make them feel empowered
+
** have committees go through the same exercise we're doing here
+
*** 1 year, 6 mon, 3 mon plans
+
** board member on each committee to oversee, but not do the work
+
** reduce barrier to entry on committees
+
* Tax ID number
+
* Meeting schedule defined and published 2-3 months out - resolve meeting places
+
* <s>LUGRadio Live USA</s>
+
* Fix the online community (handled by internet committee)
+
** retire penguin
+
** install a real CMS
+
*** openACS is not a long term solution
+
*** maybe just stick with MediaWiki
+
** <s>redirect wplug.org to wplug.ece.cmu.edu</s>
+
** <s>install jabber server for wplug ([http://www.jivesoftware.org/wildfire/ wildfire] is a good option)</s>
+
** find some network admins
+
** set specific times on IRC for questions/help rather than idlefest
+
** select a software platform
+
** contest for new WPLUG logo or layout
