Summary

As announced last month and on the trilug list, today we will be
having the steering committee election. All positions are up to grab
and we do need to fill them up!

Because of the COVID-19 thing we will need to look carefully at our
bylaws and ignore them: voting will be virtual. Probably something
like create a google questionnaire thingie and then put the people
there. And then you select all the people you want (maybe an AYE/NAY
checkbox?).

As you can guess by now, we will be doing this as we go: so far we
have 2 people applying but have 5 positions. I do not think there will
be much fighting for positions, but we do need to document the
election.

Jitsi link will be provided later.

WHAT DO WE NEED

Candidates! There are 5 positions (https://trilug.org/about-steering/)
and we need at least 5 bodies (this is not federal, state, or local
elections, so they all have to be alive). Want to be an officer?
Nominate yourself. Or nominate someone you like... or not. If you have
served and want a change in your position, again.

If you want to be a candidate, make sure you can commit the time and
effort. Also, it takes a team to make this work.

No Experience Necessary besides a desire to help the trilug community
and learn something (something; don't ask me complicate questions). It
is actually a great experience; we will help you out.

What does the steering committee do?

plan meeting topics and meeting logistics
keep our server-farm-of-one up-to-date and running
solicit donations from sponsors, offer some value in return
the drudgery of paperwork (bank, 501(3)c, etc).

Bottom line is it takes a team to make trilug to work. Without it
there is no trilug.

Speech or something. I know things are interesting but it would be
nice if people knew you existed if you are a candidate. Remember: when
you don't you end up with someone like me.

Dates. Since we are still in online mode, let's shoot for election in
July. We can use our meetup page and/or website to post about the
candidates.

Some way to do the voting. I am open for discussion. I would like to
limit the number of dead people voting to a minimum; this is not
normal politics but just electing the trilug steering committee.

Every single position is fair game.

WHAT ELSE

Floor's open after we do voting. If you want to
