Hello, Tux.org, the umbrella organization for LUGs in the DC area, announces a call for candidates for two seats on the Board of Directors. Any member of any of the LUGs receiving this message (DCLUG, NOVALUG, CALUG, UMLinux) is eligible to be a director. Directors participate in board meetings, vote on issues raised in the meetings, and serve two-year terms.
The procedures for the election are as follows: people interested in running submit biographies/brief statements (information on doing so below) at any point between now and March 15th, 2009. All submitted candidate statements will be published on the Tux.org website on March 16, 2009. Then, voting will be open in-person at LUG meetings and via USPS mail from April 1, 2009 until April 30, 2009. (Paper ballots must be postmarked on or before the 30th to be counted.) Results will be posted on the Tux.org website no later than May 15, 2009. Each person may vote for up to two candidates. To submit your biography/brief statement, you may either e-mail it to [email protected] or mail it to: PinnaclePoint Technologies, Inc. ATTN: Tux.org P.O. Box 710783 Oak Hill, VA 20171-0783 Questions may be sent to the entire Board of Directors at [email protected] or to me at [email protected]. Thanks, and good luck to all of the candidates.
