Dear Sydney Linux Users Group members, This message is to give notice that the Sydney Linux Users Group will hold its Annual General Meeting of Members on Friday March 25th 2011 at the Google office, 48 Pirrama Rd, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Please note that the building’s front doors close at 6:30pm and access after this time is not guaranteed. The AGM will be commencing at approximately 7pm. Only current financial members will be eligible to vote, but all are welcome to attend the AGM. Please also note that your 2010 membership expires immediately before the AGM commences - only a 2011 membership is valid. Our Treasurer will be selling memberships before the AGM (and memberships be at the February meeting if you’d like to get yours early). For a user-friendly guide to the AGM, see [0]. Members unable to attend the meeting may raise issues for the committee to respond to either publicly, by mailing the SLUG Activities mailing list[1], or privately by mailing the Committee directly at commit...@slug.org.au. The draft agenda for the meeting is available online at [2]. The minutes from the 2010 AGM are at [3] for you to review prior to the 2011 AGM. Members interested in serving on the Committee are highly encouraged to nominate themselves for one or more positions. Most of the existing committee members have indicated that they will not be running for re-election. SLUG membership is $15 for students, and $25 for everyone else. Voting will occur at the meeting by show of hands by financial members (identified by possession of a membership card). Members unable to attend in person may appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf, in accordance with Section 4.11, and Appendix 2, of the SLUG constitution[4]. Parties should notify the secretary of their appointment of a proxy via digitally signed e-mail to commit...@slug.org.au, using the form mentioned in Appendix 2. The committee will ask that the members ratify its activities as detailed in the office bearers' reports were in accordance with the organisation's aims. These reports will be presented at the AGM. On behalf of the committee I would like to thank you for your continued interest in SLUG and involvement with the community to date, and encourage you to pass on any questions or ideas you may have about the organisation's future to the SLUG Activities mailing list or the committee directly.
