  • Paul copy/pasted the blurb from last year into the LOPSAgram. This commits us to:
  • Can someone run the Twitter "sysadmin photo contest" thing again? Thomas?
  • Does someone have schwag that can respond to local meetups with schwag?
  • Paul will maintain the list of local events as they come in
• No progress on Marketing Intern(s)
• Mario has a lead for Community Manager
• Please help provide content for the next LOPSAgram
• Please blog on your LOPSA Blog

Refund policy (Steve)

A couple of members have recently asked for refunds (one claims to have mistakenly signed up as an individual member but meant to sign up as a student, another who signed up as an individual and and doesn't want the membership any more). I am inclined to tell people that they're under no obligation to renew, but that we won't refund memberships once paid for. But we should decide on our refund policy and publish it.
