[SLUG] Nomination: Anna Buttfield

[James Dumay]

I am proud to nominate Anna Buttfield for the position of Ordinary Committee
Member.

Anna has been an integral organiser and liaison venue for the SLUG this
year. She has demonstrated an amazing interest in both the SLUG and Free and
Open Source software community in Sydney and Australia.

I feel Anna will be a invaluable member to this years team if elected.

Anna, I would like to thank you personally for the hard work you have been
doing to make SLUG @ Atlassian possible - without you we would not have been
able to put on such a great monthly event.

Seconded. Rodger has been really helpful at events over the past year, 
including last year's Education Expo and Software Freedom Day. He also 
organised and ran a Mandriva installfest, and is helping me out with 
preparations for this year's Education Expo.

[SLUG] Nomination for Committee Member

[Rodger & Janice Dean]

Hi to all of SLUG,

I would like to put forward my nomination as a Committee Member for the
upcoming elections at the next AGM.

I believe I can be a valuable asset to the club by being on the
committee.

I have served on the board of Holroyd City Lions Club, and was involved
with the Australian Air League in my early teens. I believe these can
bring new skills to the committee. Through these organisations I have
run various actives and events. From Art Show to Public School Debates.

Although I am only new to FOSS in terms of use, as I have just
celebrated 12 months of constant use of Linux. I fully embrace Free and
Open Source software ideals and philosophies. I have assisted SLUG in
the last 12 months at various activities and will continue to do so. I
am not a developer or programmer but more of an advocate and user. I
hope to delve more into these areas as time goes on. 

I am active member of the Mandriva Community and assist them when I can.
>From running install fests.

I now put my nomination before you.


Regards

Rodger Dean

[SLUG] Nomination: Sridhar Dhanapalan for President

[Lindsay Holmwood]

Ok, time to kick off the nominations!

I'd like to nominate Sridhar Dhanapalan for the position of President.

Although his current position on the committee may be "Ordinary
Committee Member" there is nothing ordinary about what he's acheived -
over the last year Sridhar has demonstrated an outstanding ability in
leading our community.

He has:
 * successfully and repeatedly organised meetings and events
 * engaged with FOSS communities and companies
 * responded to communications to the committee
 * followed up on committee actions and tasks
 * acted as a spokesperson to the media

...all whilst being an active and enthusiastic member of the SLUG
community both on the mailing lists, IRC, and at meetings.

Most importantly, I believe he has the vision, determination, and
commitment to be a successful SLUG President - to build upon and
better the community we have, forge strong relationships with other
organisations, and keep everyone in line. :-)

I wholeheartedly endorse Sridhar for this position.

Lindsay

I'd like to nominate Silvia Pfeiffer for the positions of Secretary and

Although a newcomer to the SLUG committee last year, Silvia has proven
herself to be an outstandingly reliable and dependable member of our 
community, handling:

 * recording of talks at various SLUG meetings 
 * running the AV team of linux.conf.au 2007
 * running the FOMS conference the week before linux.conf.au
 * setting up and maintaining the new SLUG website
 * promptly answering questions to the committee
 * never missing a committee meeting

all on top of kickstarting her own business. :-)

Her organisational skills would be an enormous boon to the 2007-08 
committee.

Lindsay has proved himself invaluable, whether simply working out the

I'd like to second Lindsay's nomination for Ken. Apart from being an able 
treasurer, Ken has contributed to the free software community in other ways. 
At linux.conf.au, for example, Ken proved to be a valuable member of the A/V 
Team.

Ok, time to get the ball rolling on the nominations front!

I'd like to nominate Ken Wilson for the position of treasurer.

Over the last 3 years Ken has been a fantastic treasurer, adeptly

He would be a great asset to the next SLUG committee, and I heartily

   kids have a better understanding of "fun"
Maybe I'm just cynical but it always seems that so many hackers these

Umm, is that the requirement for the PUBLIC OFFICER of the inc. Assn?
Or the requirment for the committee?

Another area to check is the insurance policy. The insurer may
expect/require that all people are over 18 years and thus of legal age.

Quite a conundrum. I've read through the Associations Incorporation Act 1984
[1], and section 23 (3) (a) states that:

(3)  A person is not eligible to be appointed as public officer of an
incorporated association unless:

(a)  the person has attained the age of 18 years

Obviously IANAL but this would seem to suggest that as much as I would like to
accept, I would be unable to legally assume the position if elected.

I'm more than willing to go along with what Chris has suggested, but it would be
up to the membership to decide what course of action is appropriate in this
situation.

Cheers,
Lindsay

Pete, if you want to make a spiel, reply to this.
Well, it's probably a bit late for a big speech, but still.

If elected, this will be my third year on the SLUG committee. A big part 
of my work for SLUG has been the ongoing maintenance of the website and 
mailing lists. More recently, this has extended to care and feeding of 
the SLUG server, with more than a little help from Chris Deigan. 
Naturally, I'm happy to continue with these fairly important roles.

I've been putting more focus recently on expanding SLUG, through 
increasing local community awareness of Linux in general, and SLUG in 
particular. I've played a large role in organising recent installfests, 
and aim to continue the theme of small, regular install days. This year, 
I plan to bolster these through increased cooperation with Computerbank, 
Linux showcase events to draw in the general public, and followup 
"configfest" workshops, showing new users how to get better use from 
their Linux systems. Finally, by revamping the ailing sluglets, I'm 
hoping to broaden SLUG's appeal to the masses, without alienating the 
rest of what is a geeky organisation at heart.

Will that do?

Thanks, Craige. Acccepted.

I'm keen to remain on SLUG committee and ensure that SLUG retains the
friendly atmosphere it has grown up with, and that it continues to foster
and support the Open Source community within Sydney.

I'm looking forward to furthering the policy we've started in the last 6
months to open up the committee discussions and make it easier for
interested members to contribute without having to be on the committee
itself.

Cheers,
Jan.

I think Craige has done more work than actual committee members over the
last six months anyway, so he might as well get the glory ;)

The next twelve months is going to be quite vibrant, with the volume of
work we're doing with the Debian SIG I may as well be on the committee
again.

[SLUG] Nomination

[Tony Green]

All,

I would like to withdrawl acceptance of my nomination for the SLUG
Committee.

I do not think I will have the time available to me that I feel a
position like this would require.  I wish all of the other nominees well
and I hope they get the positions they want.
