DRAFT Minutes of December 11, 2010

The regular monthly meeting of the Western Pennsylvania Linux Users
Group was held on Saturday, December 11, 2010, at 11:05 AM, at the
Wilkins School Community Center, the regular presiding officer being
in the chair and the Secretary being present.  The minutes of the
November 13, 2010 meeting were approved as read.

The Chair reported on the proposed arrangement for meetings for the
coming year.  This would see a reduction in the number of General User
Meetings and the addition of weeknight "table topics" discussions.

The Secretary reported that WPLUG currently has 25 members.

The Treasurer reported that there is $652.42 in the checking account.
$7.88 was paid out of the refreshment fund.  An additional amount of
$40 in dues received is yet to be deposited.

The Program Committee reported that the next General User Meeting is
tentatively scheduled for January 8, 2011 in the Wilkins School
Community Center auditorium.

The Newsletter Committee reported that there is a shortage of articles
for publication.  Articles can be submitted or discussed by contacting
top at wplug.org.

It was reported that the ErieLUG Revival Committee has disbanded.
Despite efforts to stimulate interest in Erie, no one there has
stepped forward to organize events.  Beth Lynn Eicher now personally
owns the erielug.org domain name; anyone interested in reconstituting
ErieLUG and setting up a web site should contact her.

Vance Kochenderfer moved "to amend section 5.1 of the Bylaws by
striking the words 'on a monthly basis,' and to amend section 5.2 of
the Bylaws by striking the word 'October' and inserting 'November.'"
After debate, the motion was approved to be put to the membership by
absentee ballot.

The meeting adjourned at 11:36 AM.
