DRAFT Minutes for June 7, 2011

The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Western 
Pennsylvania Linux Users Group was held on Tuesday, June 7, 2011, at 
6:43 PM, at Crazy Mocha in Squirrel Hill, the regular presiding 
officer being in the chair and the Secretary being present.  The 
minutes of the May 3, 2011 meeting were approved as previously 
distributed.

The Chair reported that she would not be running for re-election this 
year.  She is willing to help mentor anyone interested in taking on a 
leadership position in WPLUG.  Contact her at chair at wplug.org.

The Vice-Chair reported that he had received job descriptions for the 
chairmen of the Internet Committee and Wilkins School Networking 
Committee from Michael Semcheski and David Kraus, respectively.  He 
will post these to try to recruit people into these positions.  He 
also reported that he needs funds to obtain WPLUG business cards.  It 
was noted that this expenditure was already authorized by the board, 
so the Treasurer can disburse the funds immediately.  The Vice-Chair 
also reported that a dance class at the Wilkins School Community 
Center is paying to have curtains installed in the ground floor 
auditorium; this may help the acoustics of the room.

The Secretary reported that there are currently 24 members.

The Treasurer reported that the balance in the checking account was 
$705.32.  The refreshment fund contains $35.12.  The checking balance 
does not reflect a $30.00 check to the Brookline Library for the use 
of their meeting room for the June 11 installfest.

The Director-at-Large reported that he made flyers for the 
installfest to hand out and post.  He also reported that he and 
Michael Loomis are working on a presentation on Linux from Scratch.

The Internet Committee reported that a configuration change was made 
to the wiki to reduce recent spam.  Newly-registered users of the 
wiki will now have to solve a CAPTCHA to make their first few edits.

The Program Committee reported that chair Beth Lynn Eicher would be 
unavailable to be involved with event planning after the August 
picnic, and that the rest of the committee members will need to 
assume a greater role.  It also reported that a coordinator was 
needed for the Software Freedom Day event in September; Terry 
Golightly stated he would try to recruit Michael Loomis.  Terry 
Golightly also stated he would try to recruit Nicholas Schembri and 
Ted Rodgers as speakers.  He has attempted to contact Don Vosberg, 
but has not received a response.

The Newsletter Committee reported that there has been no response to 
its call for participation.

Terry Golightly stated that he will try to contact Duncan Hutty to 
serve on the Internet Committee.

Terry Golightly stated that he will attempt to coordinate with Brian 
Seklecki to build a PXE boot server loaded with various distribution 
installation images for use during installfests.

Vance Kochenderfer stated that Brian Seklecki has been trying to 
contact Steve Kondik of CyanogenMod to speak at a future meeting, and 
will continue to follow up.

The meeting adjourned at 8:26 PM.
