The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Western
Pennsylvania Linux Users Group was held on Tuesday, December 16, 2014,
at 7:42 PM, at the IBM offices in Squirrel Hill, the regular presiding
officer being in the chair and the Secretary being present. All members
of the board were present. The minutes of the November 25, 2014 meeting
were approved as distributed.

The Chair reported that that he sent the letter to the IRS to update
them on WPLUG's new principal officer. He has not yet visited the bank
to obtain signature authority on the account.

The Vice-Chair reported that he was working with HackPittsburgh on
having WPLUG meetings there.

The Secretary reported that WPLUG has 11 members. He reported that all
those appointed to committees at the November 25 meeting of the Board
accepted their appointments. He noted that no one had been designated
to chair the Investigating Committee and moved that Justin Smith be
appointed as chair of this committee. The motion was adopted.

The Treasurer reported that there is $297.06 in the WPLUG bank account.
He also has $40.00 in dues on hand yet to be deposited, and is
anticipating another renewal for $20.00.

The Director at Large stated that he would like to see WPLUG hold more
instructional events at an introductory level, and suggested this be
done in place of the installfests which have largely been discontinued.

The Technology Committee reported that the wplug.org domain name will
expire in March 2015. Vance Kochenderfer moved that it be renewed for
five years at a cost of $65.00. The motion was adopted. The Committee

the server, and a member portal developed.

The Event Committee reported that a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon
University who submitted a talk proposal to Ohio LinuxFest had been
e-mailed to see if he was interested in presenting at WPLUG. No
response has yet been received, but the request was only sent a few
days ago.

The Marketing & Communications Committee suggested sending out
iCalendar files along with meeting announcements.
