− | My platform is simple. Less WPLUG meetings.

| |
− | I've been involved with Western PA Linux User Group since 1999. In this time, the GNU/Linux operating system, Free Software, and the gift culture have become ubiquitous. The role of the user group in 2011 needs to keep pace by holding *less* meetings of its own. Instead, as a community, WPLUG needs to promote the activities done by other organizations to give the member more options for participation. When WPLUG holds an event, it will be more special, open, accessible, and relevant.
| |
− |
| |
− | The schedule I propose goes as follows:
| |
− | * General users meetings four times a year - each has a scheduled topic at least 30 days in advance. Two of these meetings are the nominations and the election
| |
− | * Installfests four times a year - each holding intro classes with registered students in advance.
| |
− | * Software Freedom day - observed in September in a venue where it is socially acceptable to solicit, ie a flea market
| |
− | * Annual picnic - held in the summer
| |
− | * Evening time table topics two times a year - under the direction of a discussion leader, we will chat about a subject that is certain to generate opinion. A scribe will be appointed to capture the resources of interest.
| |
− |
| |
− | In order for WPLUG to hold less meetings in a successful fashion, members will have to own the work of running these functions. The board will focus on providing the resources and networking with other organizations to increase the availability. Increased partipication is both a prerequisite and a positive consequence.

| |
− | Vote for me if you want less meetings.

| |
− | I am fairly new to WPLUG and am learning the OS one day at a time. I have time to commit to meetings and would be glad to serve. I have never been on any Board or have been an elected official in my entire life. So if I am elected for the position, I will be learning this also. If I am not then its ok with me. I love WPLUG and want to learn as much as I can.
