OCLUG Draft AGM minutes for 2010-4-01
Please add notes if there are corrections i.e., don't replace material, but put in something like “should this not be ....”
The AGM was called to order after an interesting and popular talk on USB booting by Jean-Francois Messier.
Richard Guy Briggs gave a short obituary of one of our founding members, Randal Leavitt, who died March 14 after a long fight with cancer. There was general concensus to the suggestion that OCLUG should establish some sort of activity/prize as a memorial to Randal.
Margaret Tidman presented a brief financial report (attachments to this page). She also read Richard Hagerman's review, which concluded that the financial statements fairly report our situation and money activities.
There were six candidates for the new board:
- Eric Brackenbury
- Mike Kenzie
- Lisa Lovchik
- John Nash
- Roland Renaud
- John Sabastien Taylor
As per our constitution and bylaws, further nominations were invited from the floor. There were none, and Margaret Tidman moved, seconded J-F Messier, that nominations be closed. Passed nem con.
The candidates above were therefore acclaimed.
Eric Brackenbury, seconded by John Nash, moved a vote of thanks to outgoing board members, namely Margaret Tidman, Tyler Tidman and Ian Ward. This was passed nem con with applause.
The “hat” was passed and $37.56 collected.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:10 and followed by a discussion of diskless Linux led by Roland Renaud.
