Additionally, we need an updated constitution that has been approved to operate. I, for one, don't want to write a new constitution for AmesMUG, considering how minimally we operate now. The podcast could be an interesting experiment, depends on how many people we get to actually listen to it. Also, we could record it remotely via Skype or iChat, which would be nice. Dues...I'd say let's not bother with annual dues and just charge admission to LANFEST if we have one. That way we don't have to worry about people getting value from them without regular meetings. Clubfest...it's probably too late to register and frankly, not worth the effort in my opinion. Especially since Sheng & John have full time jobs, Jon and I are the only two students left and I'll be gone next week. -- Brandon Newendorp On Sep 4, 2008, at 1:20 PM, John Rearick wrote: > Next week I am available Monday night.

Would another officer be willing to take on the responsibility going forward? The main responsibility is to approve any messages that don't automatically post (because they contain too many recipients, message is over the size limit, etc.). If you are interested, let me know questions and what e-mail address I should use.

Apparently they toss them out every year now. Discussed at the meeting: Found out we only need at least two officers. We need 5 members which seems to include the officers. With Colin we have 5 members. http://policy.iastate.edu/policy/sorp/ screen casts? setting up email - gmail for ISU how to get work without setting up campus kerberos Podcast about Apple / tech related news? iPhone Stuff How Do we get people to participate? Combine with another group? multiple lanfests? Agreed on doing the following: Meetings about iPhone and Mac apps hands on (sort of a try before you buy for iPhone apps) Also any topics or items participants wish to discuss or share with the group. advertise on Facebook group, web site, mailing list General meetings once a month, 3rd Thursday. Next meeting October 16 Signing new compliance agreement form. Sending to Brandon for signature in campus mail 1620 Howe Hall unless otherwise directed after Tom signs it.

They want a 5th person on the form to confirm at least 5 person membership (not including advisor), but doesn't necessarily need to be an officer. They even admit this change in procedure is not recorded or written anywhere, which I think is Bull. The result of this is we need to draft a new form with a spot for a member on it.
