22,10am-12pm, Wilkins School Community Center

> The Western Pennsylvania Linux Users Group is holding a General
> User Meeting on Saturday, November 22, 2008.  The location is the
> Wilkins School Community Center in Swissvale, just off I-376.
> Directions to this location can be found on the WPLUG wiki at
> <http://www.wplug.org/w/index.php/Wilkins_School_Community_Center>.
>
> At the last meeting, four individuals were elected to the Board of
> Directors.  A second round of balloting will take place at this
> meeting to fill the fifth and final seat.  Members with voting
> rights may cast their ballots in person or by mail.  Mailed ballots
> must be received before the meeting, and in-person ballots must be
> received by the time the polls close in order to count.
>
> While there are no formal nominees, the following members have
> expressed interest in being elected as write-in candidates:
>  * Brian Seklecki
>  * Robert Turley
> More details about the election can be found at
> <http://www.wplug.org/w/index.php/Election-20081122>.
>
> WPLUG members should make every effort to attend this meeting so
> we have a quorum to validly conduct business and complete the
> election.
>
> This is our first meeting to take place at the Wilkins School, and
> a volunteer will be on hand a half hour before the meeting starts
> to show us around.  Please join us if you'd like to get familiar
> with the place!
>
> The schedule for the day's activities is:
>   9:30 AM - Building walkthrough
>  10:00 AM - Business Meeting / Election starts
>  10:05 AM - (approx.) Polls close / Planning session starts
>  12:00 PM - Election results announced / All done!
>
> Topic: "WPLUG: Future Directions"
>
> Rather than a technical presentation, we will be taking the
> opportunity that this move has presented us to examine what WPLUG
> does well, what it does poorly, and what changes might be needed
> for us to fulfill our mission of being an effective regional source
> of education and advocacy for Linux and other Free and Open Source
> Software.
>
> What user communities (e.g., small business, nonprofits, artists,
> senior citizens, educational institutions) should we be trying to
> reach?  How can we recruit speakers on the topics that will attract
> those people?  Can we effectively use local media to get our
> message heard?  Where do *you* want to see WPLUG go in the next
> five years?
>
> The public is welcome, and no RSVP is necessary.  The home page for
> this meeting is <http://www.wplug.org/w/index.php/Meeting-20081122>.
> If you are able to help with setup, cleanup, or other duties, please
> sign up in the "Meeting Staff" section.  Thanks!
