The regular meeting of the Western Pennsylvania Linux Users Group
was held on Saturday, January 8, 2011, at 2:04 PM, at the Wilkins
School Community Center, the regular presiding officer being in the
chair and the Secretary being present.  The minutes of the December
11, 2010 meeting were approved as read.

The Vice-Chair reported that he was soliciting people to serve on
the various WPLUG committees.  He also reported that he was trying
to organize a survey of local businesses to see how Linux is used.
Anyone interested in helping with either of these should contact
info at wplug.org.

The Secretary reported that WPLUG currently has 24 members.

The Treasurer reported that there is $692.42 in the checking account
and approximately $79 in the refreshment fund.

The Director-at-Large reported that he is investigating the extent
of Linux use in local educational institutions with a view to seeing
how we can encourage this.

The Internet Committee reported that a suitable backup solution
is currently under discussion.  It also reported that Michael
Semcheski will be getting operator status for the IRC channel
(#wplug on Freenode) and will monitor the channel.

The Program Committee reported that Judi Galardi has joined as
a committee member.  The committee is investigating venues for
February's "table topics" session.

The Public Relations Committee reported that Brian Seklecki will
be re-joining as a committee member.

The Wilkins School Networking Committee reported that the project
has not advanced in some time.  Still remaining to be done is the
installation of wired connections to the top floor of the building.
Currently a wireless repeater is located there to give coverage to
that part of the building.

The motion for amendment of the bylaws was then taken up.
Vance Kochenderfer and Greg Alheid were appointed as tellers to
