[vox] Linux Users' Group of Davis, May 15: "DockerCon recap"

Fri May 5 14:38:04 PDT 2017

Heh thanks Brian.  I suppose if there's one thing that's my own FAILING
for the club, is that I did too much running of the group.  That can
leave a group in a somewhat vulnerable place if the main driving force
ever to gets hit by one of those engineering-squishing buses, or as in
my case, simply moves far away.

Fortunately, Tim (VP), Kenny (Secretary), and Will (Treasurer) have
been doing an excellent job at taking over all the various bits of the
club, and I trust they'll do great.  It's also a good opportunity
(much like when I moved to the Bay Area for a few years, back in the
early/mid 2000s) to make sure institutional knowledge is shared & up
to date over on the website...

That way, when Tim, Kenny, and/or Will move on (or perhaps even
end up running not-unopposed during annual officer elections!),
future officers will be clued-in, regarding how to run the club!
(We're an official 501(c)7 non-profit, so we do need to do certain
things "by the book".)

My goal for this month's meeting is to get Tim up front and running
the show (since it may, indeed, be my last meeting!), and hand over
the couple of LUGOD things I have in my possession (the box of
pamphlets/etc., some signage, and both our old and new projectors).

Thanks for all the fish!
