No flight simulator talk tonight

Social gathering next Tuesday, "Full Scale Flight Simulators" on March 21st
Posted 2011-02-25 10:20:00
A rare aligning of the calendars has caused our next social gathering
(Tuesday, March 1st) to occur only one week after our
last meeting (this week's "IPv6" talk). See you at
Crepeville!
Then, after a 3-week break, we'll be welcoming
John Wojnaroski, Chief Engineer at LFS Technologies, who will be talking
about full-scale flight simulation
under Linux (Monday, March 21st). This will be our first meeting back
at the public library since it reopened on
East 14th Street!

Officers remain
Posted 2011-02-22 10:00:00
Since there were no nominations made, and no objections to keeping the
current officers at last night's meeting,
elections will not be held until the regularly-scheduled ones on October.

Elections survey non-conclusive
Posted 2011-02-15 11:40:00
Only two people responded regarding
whether LUGOD
should hold elections now (since we forgot to last October!), or wait
until this October.
So we'll hold them if anyone wishes to run against the current officers,
otherwise we'll just stick with the current
ones. If you'd like to nominate yourself, or someone else, please email
typescript by February 20th
(the day before our next meeting).

Monday's LUGOD
Posted 2010-12-18 16:15:00
Apparently, The Enterprise says that this Monday's meeting requires RSVP,
but that's not true! However, it sounds like this will be a popular
meeting, and space is limited, so it might become standing-room only!
Update: It turns out to have been confusion thanks to word-wrap.
