Hi all, Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to our Thursday meet-up. It turned out to be a great night, with so much to talk about that some discussion ideas were skipped and we still ran over time! == Topics covered == Main discussion topics of the night included: * Committee election * H-Node http://h-node.org/ * Think Penguin https://www.thinkpenguin.com/ * Raster Storage Engine https://github.com/vpac/rsa * Software Freedom Day http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ More on the wiki (see below). == Meeting notes now on our Wiki == I'd like to announce that going forward, I will try to post meeting notes on our wiki. This will make for easy reference going forward, as well as allow for edits by anyone with more information in case I missed something or made an error. Ben has put a lot of work into setting it up and keeping it spam-free, so it would be a shame not to make the most of his efforts. I have added the June meeting notes page here: http://wiki.freesoftware.asn.au/meetingNotes/20130620 == Committee elections == Perhaps the most important discussions for the night related to planning how the committee would work (such as questioning the number of committee members required), identifying and assigning responsibilities, and ultimately deciding who would be on the committee by way of election. It was decided that committee members will hold their position for a six month period, at which time elections will once again be held. This short period was partly agreed upon to be fairer for those who were unable to attend the night and missed the opportunity to vote or request nominations. Those elected, and the positions of those elected, include: President: Alex Fraser Vice President: Ben Sturmfels Secretary: Adam Bolte Treasurer: Ben Finney Responsibilities that these roles entail will also be added to the wiki shortly. Cheers, Adam
