What time is the meeting tomorrow?
7:00pm
I should be able to join. I'm not in the Slack channel though, do I need an invitation to join?
I am hoping it is not set up yet because I can't figure it out.
slack appears to want invites. :-(
Thanks,
Nick

Hi everyone,
I'm willing to volunteer to take on some tasks. I'm a CPA (accountant) who has also been an avid linux user for over a decade, so maybe I have a good blend of skills and interests to be of service. I've been following the mailing list for a few years (has it really been that long?) but I've never been to a meeting before. I realize that means I'm not a known/trusted member of the community, but I'm not interested in handling money, just volunteering my skills. I can help with/take on the bookkeeping or tax filings if necessary, or other finance related questions.
Happy to provide more information or answer any questions!

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!
