It's been 12 months since Tim, Patrick, Neil, and I were elected as the last SLUG committee - which means it's time to have the first election of members to the Linux Australia sub-committee that now runs SLUG meetings.
We're looking for 3 subcommittee members to run SLUG for the next year. A SLUG subcommittee member helps run the subcommittee, organising meetups and talks. A subcommittee member also represents the SLUG membership to the Linux Australia council. The election will be held online using Linux Australia's membership system, which handles the LA committee elections each. Nominations will open today at midday (AEDT), at which time you'll be able to view the election at https://www.linux.org.au/membership/index.php?page=elections. In order to become a candidate in the election a person will need to be nominated by two Linux Australia members (yes, you can nominate yourself), and will need to accept their nomination before the end of the nomination period. Nominations will remain open until 12/04/2012 23:59. Voting will open at 13/04/2012 00:00 and run until 27/04/2012 16:00, and the results will be announced at 27/04/2012 18:00, just before our April meeting. In order to nominate someone, accept a nomination, or vote, you'll need to be a Linux Australia member. LA membership is free - you can visit https://www.linux.org.au/membership/ to sign up. I'll be at the SLUG meeting on Friday night to answer any questions and guilt you all into joining the committee. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
