Ted and I will be here no matter what, even if we do not have a subject or presentation. If all else, we can discuss the thoughts of organization of the group and goals.
If we do not have anything else to do, we are going to start setting up a cluster using several Compaq servers that we have here at the SCCSD.

Hase [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 5:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [sclug-generallist] Meeting July 24th? Hey Sioux City Linux Users, I just got back into town a couple days ago and am now getting caught up. I haven't seen anyone post a topic for this month's meeting. If you have a presentation you can do this month, please post the topic on this list before 5 PM on Friday. I think there were several ideas floating around earlier this month. Otherwise, we are going to have to cancel the meeting for this month and pick it up in August. If you want to talk to Ryan or I about a topic post a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call one of us. Ryan and I feel we need to get our band of open source and Linux advocates more organized and to be honest we are getting burned out. I would like to have nominations officers and an election. I think it would be a good opportunity for some of you to get more involved with the group and would probably help the group get more organized. We should elect group officers every year. Needed would be a president (leader), vice president (assists president and is a backup president), someone to manage the website (an information officer) and a social director (party planner). As much as we are all such independent soles, I believe this change would allow us to achieve our goals more easily and quickly. We also need to sit down again and come up with a group mission statement, charter, and goals. Does anyone else have any feelings on any of this? Thanks, Brion.
