[20:17:11]< linuxhiker> Solver: if you pm me his number, I will [20:17:13]< Ganneff> we need a new secretary (write minutes, agendas, send reminders about meetings, deal with questions around spi that secretary gets a bit more than others) [20:17:37]< zobel> i just texted broonie [20:17:37]< Solver> linuxhiker: done [20:17:42]< zobel> i just texted bdale [20:17:47]< linuxhiker> calling [20:17:50]< Solver> ta [20:17:58]< bdale> oops [20:18:09]< bdale> Bdale Garbee [20:18:12]< Ganneff> aha!

[20:18:49]< bdale> I'm willing to continue as president. [20:18:58] * linuxhiker notes that he could be treasurer or president, but secretary requires a different skillset than he offers [20:18:59]< Ganneff> so we have 3 possibly continues [20:18:59]< bdale> zobel: I do, that's what caused me to appear .. thanks! [20:19:03]< Ganneff> noone yet for secretary [20:19:06]< zobel> good. so we only need a new secretary. [20:19:22]< Solver> glp: we kee out of band contact details for the board... I'll point you at it later [20:19:35]< schultmc> tbm had sort of expressed interest about secretary on list [20:19:44]< tbm> I can act as secretary if there are no other volunteers. I have some questions about record keeping but we can discuss that later. [20:19:50] * Solver would happily nominate tbm [20:19:56]< glp> me to [20:19:56] * linuxhiker seconded [20:20:13]< Ganneff> ok, anyone want to compete with us other 3 existing ones? [20:20:14]< zobel> i could run as well, but past told us that this is not a good idea. [20:20:24] * Solver is not running for a position as officer [20:20:34]< zobel> but if tbm wants to run, then i will not run [20:20:37]< Ganneff> or do we have a set of 4 to vote on to confirm? [20:21:13]< Solver> seems like we do [20:21:48]< Ganneff> i see no one else speaking up, so lets confirm bdale == president, me == vice president, tbm == secretary, schultmc == treasurer for another round?
