Dear Sydney Linux Users Group, Notice is hereby given that the Sydney Linux Users Group will hold an Extraordinary General Meeting directly before its Annual General Meeting on Friday 25th March 2011, at the same venue as previously announced for the AGM at [1].
The meeting is convened to consider, and if thought fit, pass as a special resolution, several motions concerning the winding up of the association. The EGM will commence as soon after 6:30pm as is practical. [1] http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/announce/2011/02/msg00006.html ----- The motions to be considered at this meeting are as follows: 1) In recognition of the fact that the aims and goals of SLUG are substantially a subset of those of Linux Australia; and furthermore, that Linux Australia is better equipped to support and sustain SLUG’s community; and further, that having SLUG exist as an Association results in a duplication of effort and inefficient use of resources - that SLUG be wound up as an association. 2) In accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 section 65, that all surplus property and funds at the time SLUG is wound up be donated to Linux Australia. 3) As the property and funds donated to Linux Australia in this way were originally donated to SLUG with intent to be used to support the open source community in the Sydney area, that we request that Linux Australia continue use the property and funds to support the open source community in the Sydney area. 4) In recognition of the fact that there exists a thriving open source community in the Sydney area, that the above actions not be taken until such time has Linux Australia has: - Created a sub-committee, charged with supporting the Sydney open source community by running monthly meetings, and by providing other such support as may be warranted; and - Appointed to that sub-committee, at minimum, the person elected as president at the next AGM to be the convenor of the subcommittee; and as treasurer, the person elected as treasurer at the same AGM; -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
