[Charlug] CharLUG Meeting Summary/Election Results

[Don Parris]

We held the meeting yesterday, as scheduled.  Novell technicians presented
Xen, interestingly, using a VMWare-based host.  Thus, we got to see nested
virtualization!  Gotta admit, it's kind of cool.  They demonstrated setting
up a virtual machine and installing the OS on it.

We registered 3 new members, including the two Novell guys.  One current
member was given his registration card.

The election was difficult to manage, since none of the Tuesday evening
group was present.  Don and Joe were officially elected for Chairman and
Librarian/Webmaster.  However, no other officers were nominated or elected.
I suggested - and all agreed - that the Vice-Chairman and Secretary should
come from the Tuesday evening group.  That leaves the Tuesday evening group
a little something to accomplish.  Again, we really need people to step up
and be the LUG.

Hal Lohn (CPCC staff) suggested we setup an announcement-only list by which
to send out meeting reminders to everyone.  This list is something everyone
who joins should be subscribed to (by the folks who register the new
member).  I would like to hear from the group on this.

Our current discussion list is difficult to find/join.  Unregistered website
users are informed that the mailing list sign-up link is on the left, but it
is not made available until you become a registered site user.  That is very
confusing to some.  This needs to be changed to either allow registration by
non-member site users, or inform all users that they must be registered on
the site to access the mailing lists.  Frankly, I feel the mailing list
registration needs to be made available to the general public, but that's
just my opinion.

Regards,
Don
