Officers elected
Posted 2008-11-18 00:35:00
Running upposed, Bill Kendrick remains 'root' (president),
Nick Schmalenberger remains 'typescript' (secretary)
and Henry House remains '/dev/null' (treasurer).
Noone was nominated for 'sys' (vice president), so Bill Kendrick continues
filling that role until someone comes forward.

Bylaws change regard elections
Posted 2008-10-20 22:20:00
Due to general meetings being held once per month, rather than twice, it
now takes between one and two months for the nomination and election process
for LUGOD's officers. President Bill Kendrick put forth a motion at tonight's
meeting to change officer terms into year-long positions, with voting taking
place once a year, in October. Bill Broadley seconded, and the vote passed
with no objections (and one abstention). Our
Bylaws have been adjusted, accordingly.
