Hear ye, hear ye!

This is a preliminary call for nominees to participate in the election 
for the MUUG board.  Those elected will serve from October 2008 until 
October 2009.  The deadline to nominate yourself, or someone else, is 
September 30, 2007.  Instructions follow.

The MUUG board is charged with coordinating the meetings and other 
events by the group.  It's fun, and you get a role in guiding the group. 
All are encouraged to apply.

MUUG Board Elections - Call for Nominations

Every October the Manitoba Unix User Group holds its Annual Meeting, the 
main goals of which are to elect a new Board of Directors and to pass 
any special resolutions.  (Aside from that, it is a regular meeting)
Any MUUG member in good standing can be nomi-nated to run for a position 
on the Board.

As of this writing, the following members of the cur-rent Board have let 
their names stand for re-election:

Gilbert Detillieux	Systems Analyst		University of Manitoba
Michael Doob		Professor		University of Manitoba
Kevin McGregor		Network Analyst		City of Winnipeg
Montana Quiring		Systems Administrator	University of Manitoba
Doug Shewfelt		Systems Specialist	City of Winnipeg
Adam Thompson		Consultant		athompso.net

Of course, this list is just a starting point.  Any member in good 
standing of the group can be nominated simply by getting the support of 
one other member.  If you feel you would like to contribute to the group 
by running for a board position, please don't hesitate to do so.  (In 
fact, we'd like to see the number of board members increase.)

If you want to be nominated, or to nominate someone else, send a letter 
to the group's postal box or deliver it in person to a current board 
member.  The letter must contain the name, title, and employer of the 
nominee, along with a short (100 word or so) biography, and must contain 
the signatures of the nominee and one other member.  The letter must be 
received no later than September 30, 2008, which is 14 days prior to the 
October 14 meeting.

Although the by-laws require that the nominations be done in writing, 
with signatures, you can speed up the process by sending e-mail to 
<election at muug.mb.ca>, with the above information, and sending the 
signed paper copy later.  In this case, please include the e-mail 
address of both the nominee and the supporter on the CC: list of the 
message, so that all parties concerned have a record of the communication.

Nominees should familiarize themselves with the MUUG bylaws, found here:

If you have any questions about the election or the nomination process, 
please contact Gilbert Detillieux, either by phone (474-8161) during 
business hours, or by e-mail to <election at muug.mb.ca> anytime.
