[TriLUG] steering committee vacancy

[Jason Faulkner]

Thanks for the re-nomination, Jason.

I really, really wish I didn't get another chance at this. Aaron, I
didn't know you well as someone offline, but I know that seeing you in
the LUG meetings, you were always busy with something, and your posts
to the list were always more-than-insightful.

Although the opportunity comes in a bad manner, I accept the nomination.

I would repeat all my stances, but you guys know them by now -- I'll
just recap really quick.

* I believe it is TriLUG's job to spread linux to ALL types of users,
administrators to average joes.

* I believe it is TriLUG's job to advocate all open source software,
such as Firefox, or OpenOffice.org, even if they run on windows.

* I believe TriLUG should be a n00b friendly atmosphere, and
non-intimidating to non-techies.

Should I be elected, I'll try to increase these goals, and otherwise
serve the LUG however I am requested to.

I'm available via email (jason at oldos.org), or IRC (jasonf) if you have
any questions for me, or about my stances.

P.S. -- To all who have helped me in my search for a job, I am amazed,
and still remain amazed, at how many things have been thrown my way. I
genuinely thank you all for your help. Although I haven't struck gold
yet, it helps me have hope to know that all of you are rooting for me.
