| − | In the past year, we have had some successes (most notably, getting the server you are using right now set up and migrating over our [[MailingLists|mailing lists]] and [[IRC]] bot). I do feel that we have lagged slightly on the number of presentations and events we've hosted and can improve there. The good news is that no matter who you are, you can contribute to WPLUG, such as by joining one of our [[Committees]], or by [[TODO|improving the wiki]], and I encourage everyone who has an interest in WPLUG to do so. If elected, while I will serve in any office, I intend to seek the Secretary's position. I feel that my skills are better suited to that office than to that of Chair, and I would work to ensure all of our organizational documents are current and available online and hopefully get an online user-accessible membership system set up.

| − | I am new to WPLUG, but I already have a desire to be elected to the Board. I think being a WPLUG Board Member will be a good way to both strengthen my knowledge about WPLUG as an organization, as well as give time to make the group grow in the direction the members desire.

| − | I have worked with linux for more than ten years now. I use gentoo as a preferred distribution and I've used many flavors at work such as suse, ubuntu and the redhat derived distributions (centos, fedora, etc.). I also enjoy working with BSDs, I use openbsd as a gateway and freebsd as a webserver and fileserver. Professionally, I have been employed working with linux, mainly in clustered storage. Currently, I am working with linux on embedded computers.

| − | If elected I hope to be able to help the group develop both internally (such as setting and meeting goals) and externally (such as having an impact on the Pittsburgh community through educational events, publishing book reviews as a group, etc.). I am excited to hear members input about how this development within WPLUG should take place.
