Someone has requested formal permission to become affiliated with GNHLUG. The details:
Organization: Gaming SIG Stated Purpose: To foster community around Free Software games and game development in New Hampshire Coordinators: Arc Riley <arcri...@gmail.com> Matthew Henninger <dennisn...@gmail.com> This grew out of a gaming night that's attracted significant interest. This will be predominantly about Free(dom) games on Free(dom) platforms. Activities will include: * Presentations on Free Software game design applications and game engines, e.g., Blender, Verse, Quake3 * Organizing local teams to compete in game design competitions, ie, ludumdare, pyweek * Showcasing/playing free software games, especially multipler games in "LAN party" style Per previous decision of the Board: (1) Affiliates have permission to use the GNHLUG name, but are not empowered to make decisions on behalf of the board. (2) We need Board Member approval for affiliation with GNHLUG. Can each of the Board Members please indicate their approval, disapproval, abstention, or request for further discussion? Full disclosure: I have attended a private-invite LAN party hosted by the proposed coordinators, and had fun, and contributed to the concept that others would be interested beyond a private affair. As such, I'm going to abstain from voting in this, in the interests of avoiding even the appearance of a conflict-of-interest. Should it be needed to reach a quorum, I may place a vote then. For reference, the current board members are: * Jon "maddog" Hall * Heather Brodeur * Ben Scott * Bill Sconce * Ted Roche * Shawn K. OShea * Michael Kazin Discussion, comments, suggestions, objections, concerns, etc., from non-board members is also welcomed, of course. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/
