Ok, since Justin and Seth have seconded my motion, I move to vote on the officers. Further, I move to count "Nay" votes only and IF the "Nays" exceed say 10, we'll have a full "Aye/Nay" count. Let's see if we can get the nominations qualified and officers confirmed by Thursday and take addional steps when we meet. There is a question by some on the BSD/GPL "issue". Let me clarify MY position. When we re-formed the group, the purposes was to promote Linux and educate ourselves and help others "cath the bug". Some of us have used the group as a vehicle to pronote BSD, GPL and various & sundry non-Linux topics, goals and left-wing liberal agendas. IMHO this is not what we're about and if YOU want that then a) go to those existing groups, b) form a new group or c) we'll splinter and form a new group. In the case of "c", the name, basis and purpose of ELUG should remain to promote Linux and assist the community generally where Linux is concerned, NOT to pump the GPL thing, wave the BSD banner, etc. Those things DO have a place in our group, but the are not central to our basis and purpose, nor should they be promoted to the point of splintering the group or watering down the basis and purpose. So......may we continue with the elections? - jk _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
