    • April (ar the public library): Django framework

  • LUGOD elections:
    We forgot to hold elections in October. In early February we realized, and polled membership regarding holding elections now, versus waiting until this October. Two members responded: one for, one against. Nominations were therefore opened for officer positions, but none were made prior to tonight's meeting. Therefore, current officers (Bill Kendrick: root, Brian Lavender: sys, Andrew Roach: typescript and Greg FitzGerald: /dev/null) continue with their positions.
  • Brief report from February officer's meeting:
    • LERT ended (see above)
    • 'vox-outreach' mailing list deprecated
    • lugod.org domain name appeared as though it was going to expire, but it was not; contacted DomainDiscover to correct the issue
    • PO box renewal to happen in Aug. or Sept.
    • Elections inadvertently skipped in October (see above)
    • LUGOD tax-extempt status filing with the California Finance Tax Board (CA FTB) will be done soon.
