Agenda for Linux Ottawa Board meeting 2022-4-25 19:00 Virtual meeting open to Linux-Ottawa list members. If you have items you want added to the agenda, please send to nashjc _at_ ncf.ca or tug.williams _at_ gmail.com. Meeting will be on oclug.slack.com. (And, yes, we prefer fully open source solution -- see "volunteers" below!) - Quorum (3) needed of Board members as per AGM Tug Williams Ian Gorman John Nash Richard Guy Briggs - Minutes of previous Board mtg - Status of bank account - Formalities - Thanks to retiring Board members - Who has the corporate documents? - Have we a set of usernames, passwords etc. for our website functions? - Updating of documents (need for formal assignment of officers) - need to record AGM (JN is preparing a draft) - Current bank signing officers are Scott Murphy, John Nash and Ian Gorman. Should we add to the list? - Need for volunteers to take on some specific tasks. Do we want to be more focused in asking people to do something limited i.e., they can agree to just a particular task. However, it would be good to have at least 2 per task, as we have recent experience when someone says they will do something then disappears. - What can/will Board members undertake? Several of us already have noted constraints on time/capability. - We are allowed to appoint other Board members if there are willing helpers. - keeper(s) of essential documents and information - backup and maintenance of website (except mailing list) - mailing list maintenance. This may or may not include upgrade that we have wanted for some time. - keeping of records of "corporation" - wiki maintenance (prodding for presentation documents?) - setting up virtual meetings (Board and general) - possible arrangement of in-person meetings - Future of Linux Ottawa - Key functions: mailing list and meetings - In-person meetings and resources (mostly human) to set up and run, and to find suitable venue - Talk/discussion for May 5 - Suggested topic: "Evolution of volunteer groups like Linux Ottawa and the role of technology" - welcome other offers for May and for the future!
