Discussion group and committee election next Thursday 20 June

Hi Free Software Lovers, I'm looking forward to seeing you again next Thursday 20 June for our discussion group. This month we'll be looking at some hardware purpose-designed for compatibility with free software. Yay! We'll also be discussing the H-Node hardware database (details below). I'm delighted with the way our little group has grown and gathered momentum over the past 3 years. It's a real pleasure to turn up each month for interesting free software chatter and to get to know such a friendly and enthusiastic bunch of people. As I mentioned in April, I'd like to keep this momentum going by electing a committee to involve and recognise the work others do in keeping the group running. Next Thursday I'd like us to elect the following annual positions: - President - Vice-President - Secretary - Treasurer I'm certainly happy to stay on as defacto-President, though would welcome anyone else interested in taking on the role. Alex tell me he feels the same about his role as defacto-Vice President. If you're interested in nominating for any position but can't make it to the meeting, please let me know. Hopefully the committee can take advantage of the recent breakthroughs in free software video-conferencing to hook up once a month for a brief virtual meeting. See you Thursday!
