Running for the board is easy.
You just had to attend a number of past meetings or be a founder.
I for one would love to have you create that position, therefore I
nominate you as Community Outreach person.
We need other people to step up and help.

JoomlaDay was a blast, I really enjoyed the sessions and all and
meeting the people.
As such, it got my mental juices flowing on some projects I've thought
would be cool if they existed, but really need a community umbrella to
run them on.... since the projects all fall under "community
outreach" and Board elections are coming up soon, I was wondering if
there is a specific position for that? Also I wanted to ask how I go
about running for election?
I will admit, I haven't made it to enough meetings lately. This has
nothing to do with the content of the meetings, and more due to
distance and expense. Until this past year I lived up in Kingston
which was simply too far in general - now that I live in Beacon it's
much easier to make the meetings - I just didn't want to make the
financial commitment to get to them. So, assuming all goes well, I'm
going to make that commitment for next year and make sure to come.
One thing I'd like to see is our own user group extensions directory -
where members can post reviews of Joomla extensions they use. One of
my original goals with the group was to learn what people in NYC were
using - not some incredibly large international extension directory
where the only users might be on another continent!
Also, one thing that is bumming me is that while I met lots of
interesting people and there were discussions I'd love to follow up on
from JoomlaDay - I can only talk to the fraction I exchanged contact
data with. Online forums for each of those sessions would be a great
way for people to reconnect and continue discussions.
Just thought I'd ask what others are thinking and throw my hat into
the ring.
