We will also be accepting nominations for election to the Steering Committee at this meeting. Nominations are open for all five steering committee positions and should be sent to the TriLUG discussion list or to nominate privately, via the Contact TriLUG page. Nominations must be received by May 4, 2007 at 23:59:59. Please note that SC members are elected "at large" and then decide amongst themselves which position they will occupy. Nominations need not be seconded. You can nominate anyone, but they must accept your nomination to be eligible for election. You can nominate yourself.

Stay tuned for more info.

In order to simplify administration and provide more direct, responsive contact to the Steering Committee for the membership, we have created a Contact Us page. Please use the following URL to send information, requests, or comments to the SC.

http://www.trilug.org/contact

This also means that the SC mailing list, steering@trilug.org, will switched over to reject mail from non-list-members. This list receives too much spam to be an effective conduit for communication to the SC. To ease the transition, information on the new Contact Us page has been placed in the supplemental reject notice .

Thanks for your attention.

Recruiters please note: If you are here to request a mailing list posting about a job:

• The best way to present jobs is to come to our meeting and participate in our "Have-a-Job/Need-a-Job" segment. This segment allows any person with an opening or any person seeking a job to stand up in front of the entire group and talk for a few minutes. See the trilug.org for info about the next meeting.
• If you can not attend a meeting, the next-best way is to join the main discussion mailing list and post your job to the list. Please put the word "JOB" in the subject. Note: we monitor posts to the list. Recruiters who post irrelevant job postings or who "spam" the list with a lot of posts will be "moderated" or removed from the mailing list.

If you have something that you would like to bring to the attention of the Steering Committee, fill in the form below. This is not the place to post job openings. This form sends an email directly to the five steering committee members.
