Re: MorLUG Comments

I would highly encourage someone to step up to find a meeting place  
on campus. The rooms that I have access too are limited unless we are  
an official WVU group.

  Scott's Run is just too far out of the way and I see no benefit to  
us to meet out there. The benefits at this point seem to run in one  
direction (Us developing AND hosting a website for them, planning to  
rebuild their network, etc).

As far as being a meta-meeting, this was supposed to be the meeting  
to end all meetings on the topic. Though, from the sounds of things  
that isn't going to happen ... which saddens me greatly. Like david I  
am tired of all the bantering back and forth.

Since only one person has stepped up to be "leader" of MorLUG I will  
propose tonight that we take action to make MorLUG an official WVU  
Organization.

My understanding is that this would not limit community members from  
attending and/or participating in our meetings. Would give us the  
much needed on campus meeting location, and be requirement would give  
us all the formal BS that Jonathan is looking for. There are several  
people capable of being the staff advisor for it, Andrei showed  
interest and I could fill that position as well if needed. I would  
also propose that we leave the drafting of all the documentation for  
the group to the Student officers of the group and not the group as a  
whole. Also, the "staff advisor" should really just stand back and  
let the student officers do their best with running the show.

Depending on how the vote turns out tonight I think will determine  
where the groups next meeting location will be. If the WVU idea is  
voted in, David or Andrei can secure a WVU room for us for the July  
meeting. If Jonathan's proposal stands (he takes charge and starts  
drafting by-laws, per his email earlier) we'll meet per his judgement.
