<hr />
<div>This page is a list of links pointing at Minutes of the Board of the League of Professional System Administrators (LOSPA) in chronological order.<br />
<br />
The first Board of what is now LOPSA was elected in Spring 2005 by the members of The System Administrators' Guild (SAGE), which had been a Special Technical Group (STG) of USENIX. The intent was to have this Board manage the planned spin-off of SAGE from its USENIX parent. In November 2005, this plan was changed, and this new organization's name was changed to '''The League of Professional System Administrators'''. At various times during this entire process, this Board's work was referred to by USENIX and itself as '''SAGE''' or '''newSAGE'''. The meaning of '''SAGE''' in the minutes should be apparent from context.<br />
<br />
Per the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy on minutes dissemination]], publication of minutes may occur up to 30 days after approval, but will ordinarily happen sooner.<br />
<br />
Redactions, when present, will be clearly labeled (see the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy]] for more about redactions).<br />

<br />
* Aleksey moved that we issue Roger Ludecke (Community Mgr) a $20 gift card as a bonus for getting the LOPSAGram out on time two months in a row. Andy seconded the motion. After brief discussion (whether this would be more appropriate for end-of-year) the motion passed unanimously.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page is a list of links pointing at Minutes of the Board of the League of Professional System Administrators (LOSPA) in chronological order.<br />
<br />
The first Board of what is now LOPSA was elected in Spring 2005 by the members of The System Administrators' Guild (SAGE), which had been a Special Technical Group (STG) of USENIX. The intent was to have this Board manage the planned spin-off of SAGE from its USENIX parent. In November 2005, this plan was changed, and this new organization's name was changed to '''The League of Professional System Administrators'''. At various times during this entire process, this Board's work was referred to by USENIX and itself as '''SAGE''' or '''newSAGE'''. The meaning of '''SAGE''' in the minutes should be apparent from context.<br />
<br />
Per the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy on minutes dissemination]], publication of minutes may occur up to 30 days after approval, but will ordinarily happen sooner.<br />
<br />
Redactions, when present, will be clearly labeled (see the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy]] for more about redactions).<br />

==== Election ====<br />
* Per Scott Murphy, leadership committee head, we won't be conducting a vote as we have more open board seats than candidates.<br />
* George asked that we still conduct the LOPSA Lives to give LOPSA members a chance to get to know the board, ask questions, and to put their name in the hat for the board (election).<br />
<br />
==== Volunteers ====<br />
* Aleksey expanded the list of volunteer opportunities at https://lopsa.org/Volunteer<br />
<br />
=== Locals/Chapters (Tsalolikhin) ===<br />
<br />
==== Established chapters ====<br />
<br />

* Columbus - met on April 30th. "Mining Ethereum Transactions". Good attendance, good food. Thanks to our sponsor TEKsystems. Next event tentatively May 29. Working out final details with speaker.<br />
* SASAG - met on April 12th for a SCALE recap by Brian Globerman.<br />
* ETENN - met on May 1st for a presentation "Azure Automation: What is it and Why Do I Care?" by Benjamin Mitchell of Discovery, Inc. (21 attendees.) Next meeting will be June 5th, Jesse Trucks presenting.<br />
* Ottawa - met on April 19th, for the first in a series of microservices builds. Next meetup on May 17th.<br />
* San Diego - has been missing for the last 6 months per report from Chris McEniry - he reached out to their mailing list to get things going again.<br />
<br />
==== Forming chapters ====<br />
* NJ - thanks to Roger's efforts on Facebook we have potential new co-organizers for NJ. Aleksey asked Joe Youn to add Kristófer Jóhann Ólafsson and Shahab Sheikhzadeh as co-organizers.<br />
* Chicago - Aleksey is talking to Brian and Erich about them holding the initial meeting.<br />
* Nigeria - two new members have expressed interest in forming a local LOPSA chapter in Nigeria.<br />
<br />
==== Meetup.com sites for chapters ====<br />
<br />
Aleksey moved to offer LOPSA chapters reimbursement for meetup.com ($15/mo), with promotion of LOPSA membership at every chapter meeting. Drew and Brian seconded. Unanimous.<br />
<br />
George asked we take a look at Meetup Pro, which we'll do separately.<br />
<br />
== Adjournment ==<br />

<hr />
<div>This page is a list of links pointing at Minutes of the Board of the League of Professional System Administrators (LOSPA) in chronological order.<br />
<br />
The first Board of what is now LOPSA was elected in Spring 2005 by the members of The System Administrators' Guild (SAGE), which had been a Special Technical Group (STG) of USENIX. The intent was to have this Board manage the planned spin-off of SAGE from its USENIX parent. In November 2005, this plan was changed, and this new organization's name was changed to '''The League of Professional System Administrators'''. At various times during this entire process, this Board's work was referred to by USENIX and itself as '''SAGE''' or '''newSAGE'''. The meaning of '''SAGE''' in the minutes should be apparent from context.<br />
<br />
Per the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy on minutes dissemination]], publication of minutes may occur up to 30 days after approval, but will ordinarily happen sooner.<br />
<br />
Redactions, when present, will be clearly labeled (see the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy]] for more about redactions).<br />
<br />

* Since the last board meeting, the April LOPSAGram was published.<br />
* Aleksey has updated the LOPSA Committees page to show who is on each committee. <https://lopsa.org/Committees> and how to reach those committees (where a mailing list exists).<br />
* Community Manager is working on creating a "Certs" page under "Resources" on the LOPSA web site, starting with LPI's sysadmin certification LPIC-1.<br />
* We've selected IRCCloud as our service provider for Community Manager to moderate the #lopsa IRC channel. Working on getting a debit card for Roger (see agenda item below) so that he can buy the service.<br />
* Aleksey has started getting quotes for professional marketing services as planned at the face to face annual director meeting. A search on Google brought up prosper-strategies.com -- we've reached out to them for a quote.<br />
* Aleksey has asked Community Manager to survey our membership -- what do they like about LOPSA, what needs to be improved, how do they want to help.<br />
<br />
=== Technical Services (White) ===<br />
<br />
The tech team is checking into the situation with Slack (to bring it live) to augment the IRC channel<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

* radio silence from Chicago<br />
* Aleksey still has it on his to-do list to publish the chapter runbook draft https://gitlab.com/lopsa/chapters/blob/master/chapter_handbook.md<br />
<br />
<br />
== Proposal to open mentorship program to the public (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Now that we have a mentorship program, let's open it to the world. We are a public benefit (charitable and educational) organization. Opening the mentorship program will benefit the community. Let's allow anyone to sign up as a protege.<br />
<br />
The motion was discussed. No one seconded it.<br />
<br />
== Proposal for debit card for Community Manager (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Aleksey moved that we issue the LOPSA Community Manager Roger Luedecke a debit card (tied to a checking account) with a monthly spending limit of $300/month for job-related expenses such as IRCCloud subscription for moderating IRC, targeted ad campaigns, etc. <br />
<br />
Danielle seconded Aleksey's motion to give Drew a debit card. Discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
Aleksey withdrew the motion. We'll continue handling purchase requests on a case by case basis.<br />
<br />
== Director vacancy - Thomas Uphill (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
We have a vacancy on the board -- Thomas Uphill has resigned. With election a month away, Aleksey proposed leaving the position vacant.<br />
<br />
Andy seconded Aleksey's motion not to nominate a replacement for Thomas Uphill. Unanimous.<br />
<br />
== Proposal to change board size from 9 to 7 (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Aleksey Tsalolikhin moved that:<br />
<br />
Let's change the LOPSA culture to more involve the membership body in LOPSA activities (i.e. not have the board of directors do most of the work). Let's reduce the cost of the annual face to face board meeting by reducing the number<br />
of directors -- we don't need 9 directors to run a membership organization of 300 paying members; it could be done by <br />
three directors.<br />
<br />
Therefore, I move we make the following change to Article 4.2 of the bylaws, Board Composition <http://governance.lopsa.org/LOPSA_Bylaws#Board_Composition>. Change the sentence:<br />
<br />
The Board shall consist of nine members ("Directors"). <br />
to:<br />
The Board shall consist of seven members ("Directors").<br />
<br />
<br />
Andy seconded Aleksey's motion to reduce board size from 9 to 7. Discussion ensued. The motion failed.<br />
<br />
(Aleksey and Scott dropped off at this point due to the late time -- 10:30 p.m. Eastern. The board still had a quorum and continued the meeting.)<br />
<br />
== KPIs (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Aleksey moved that all committees identify and start tracking and reporting KPIs (key performance indicators) bi-weekly (same as the board meeting cycle).<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
* Finance: total balance<br />
* Communications/Marketing: number of visitors to the LOPSA web site<br />
* Leadership Committee: number of active volunteers<br />
* Education, Training and Mentorship: completed mentorships<br />
<br />
KPI statistics and graphs (showing relative change) are to be entered in the board minutes and published to the membership.<br />
<br />
This will give transparency, accountability, and will allow us to show progress toward LOPSA's goals.<br />
<br />
No one seconded the motion.<br />
<br />
== Board committees vs Program committees (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Aleksey moved that:<br />
<br />
Whereas<br />
a) LOPSA Committees policy <http://governance.lopsa.org/LOPSA_Policies/Committees> differentiates board-level committees and program committees. But in practice, the board is holding most of the program committees (all but tech services and leadership).<br />
b) Board minutes show little to no activity on many program committees.<br />
<br />
Therefore, to activate and re-involve our membership, and to get some healthy production happening to forward LOPSA's mission:<br />
<br />
The current committee heads (who are Directors) should fill their committees with LOPSA members and the Directors themselves should move to a liaison role. <br />
<br />
This applies to the following program committees:<br />
<br />
* Recognition<br />
* Conference Planning<br />
* Locals<br />
* Education, Training and Mentorship<br />
<br />
Time target: All program committees should be led by regular members (not Directors) by the next face-to-face director meeting.<br />
<br />
No one seconded the motion.<br />
<br />
== GDPR (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Scott Murphy had pointed out that as an international organization, LOPSA will need to comply with GDPR. Aleksey asked if anyone would like to create the policy and processes LOPSA will need to comply with GDPR?<br />
<br />
Andy to reach out to Xinspire. Steve to reach out to Wild Apricot.<br />
<br />

=== Treasurer's report (Globerman, Beech, Suehle) ===<br />
* [[Media:Balance_20180410.pdf | Balance sheet as of April 10, 2018]] (pdf)<br />
Bank balance on 4/10/2018: $32,222.60 (+684.83 over last reported balance on 3/24/2018)<br />

<br />
Brian agreed to take on cleaning up / bringing up to date our list of sponsors (the lists on the web site and in the LOPSAGram got out of sync), and that the Treasurer would maintain the list of sponsors going forward -- provided the donations are recorded in Wild Apricot, and that somebody else drafts "thank you" letters for donations/sponsorships, as well as the end-of-year Annual Statement / "Thank you for your support" letter (which Aleksey said he'd do).<br />
<br />
Aleksey asked if the directors have to track hours spent on LOPSA business (are there any IRS requirements for us to do so?) Brian said no, as long as we're volunteering, directors don't have to track hours worked.<br />
<br />
=== Membership report (VanDevender) ===<br />
For once, Steve could not attend; no membership report.<br />
<br />
== Committee reports ==<br />
<br />
=== Conferences/Events (Adams) ===<br />
<br />
Regarding Community Manager Roger Luedecke's proposal to go to LFNW -- Aleksey will let Roger know that we'd like to see proposals for travel to conferences -- we'd prefer locations where we don't already have an active chapter -- but let's see some proposals.<br />
<br />
==== LOPSA Cascadia 2019: (Globerman) ====<br />
<br />
Brian is still looking for a venue for CasITConf 2019.<br />
<br />
=== Marketing/Communications (Tsalolikhin, Uphill) ===<br />
* Roger is working on the April LOPSAgram - nearly there.<br />
<br />
=== Technical Services (White) ===<br />
<br />
Danielle talked to Dan Rich - nothing special to report. The list (of issues/tasks) is a lot<br />
smaller now that we don't run our own server anymore.<br />
<br />
=== Education, Training and Mentorship (Cowell) ===<br />
<br />
* We added two colleges to https://lopsa.org/System-Admin-Colleges -- thanks to tanner filip for writing in with two schools offering degree programs in system administration!<br />
<br />
* We should update lopsa.org with a link to mentor.lopsa.org before we publish the LOPSAgram<br />
<br />
=== Recognition (Beech) ===<br />
<br />
No George. No report.<br />
<br />
=== Leadership Committee (Tsalolikhin) ===<br />
* George Beech stepped down as the board liaison to Leadership Committee; Aleksey Tsalolikhin will serve as board liaison.<br />
* Trev Thorpe resigned; Scott Murphy stepped up as head of Leadership Committee and is organizing the 2018 elections. Thanks, Scott!<br />
<br />
=== Chapters Committee (Adams) ===<br />
* Aleksey updated the list of chapters on https://lopsa.org/Chapters to remove defunct chapters; and to remove the Affiliates section as one affiliate went inactive (Sonoma County System Administrators) and the other (UUASC-LA) gave birth to a full chapter (LOPSA-LA).<br />
<br />
* Aleksey will introduce Roger to the LOPSA Chicago chapter leaders. They haven't had their first chapter meeting yet, so we didn't list them on the LOPSA Chapters web page.<br />
<br />
* Aleksey's draft of LOPSA Chapter Handbook is up at https://gitlab.com/lopsa/chapters/blob/master/chapter_handbook.md Aleksey has asked for feedback from the other LOPSA chapter leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Proposal to change board size from 9 to 7 (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Aleksey Tsalolikhin moved that:<br />
<br />
To ensure continuity of governance in the face of a reduced LOPSA membership body (i.e., to make sure we have enough candidates to fill the board), make the following change to Article 4.2 of the bylaws, Board Composition <http://governance.lopsa.org/LOPSA_Bylaws#Board_Composition>. Change the sentence:<br />
<br />
The Board shall consist of nine members ("Directors"). <br />
to:<br />
The Board shall consist of seven members ("Directors").<br />
<br />
Aleksey's motion was tabled to give the board time to study the bylaws.<br />
<br />
== Handling of email (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Following Trev's resignation from the leadership committee, we discussed timely handling of email by board members and how we can do better. We agreed we don't need a policy but we each need to do better about making sure we answer board emails especially in a timely manner.<br />
<br />
== Proposal to change LOPSA's policy on minimum requirements for starting and running a chapter (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Aleksey Tsalolikhin moved to amend Article 3.1 of "LOPSA Policies/Locals program" <http://governance.lopsa.org/LOPSA_Policies/Locals_program#Regular_Chapter><br />
to make it easier for people to start and operate chapters, and to encourage<br />
formation of chapters:<br />
<br />
Change:<br />
<br />
A Regular Chapter must have at least SIX paid members. Provisional status can be granted with THREE paid members for the first year.<br />
<br />
To:<br />
<br />
A Regular Chapter must have at least THREE paid members. Provisional status can be granted with TWO paid members for the first year.<br />
<br />
Andy seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.<br />
<br />
== Review of board goals for 2017-2018 year (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Review of the goals was tabled due to the late time.<br />
<br />
Reference:<br />
<br />
https://governance.lopsa.org/Goals_and_Strategic_Plans<br />
<br />
Increase the LOPSA's value proposition to its members:<br />
* Run CasITConf 2018 - DONE (cancelled CasITConf 2018)<br />
* Restart the mentorship program (done -- needs promotion)<br />
* Provide guidance and support to local chapters (started -- initial draft done, needs input from other chapter leaders)<br />
<br />
Improve execution/organization/governance:<br />
* Increase the number of active LOPSA members (Aleksey reached out to head of Leadership Committee to start the discussion on cultivating volunteers)<br />
* Document the pattern of an active LOPSA chapter valuable to its community (done, see above)<br />
* Document the pattern of a successful LOPSA conference -- needs work<br />
<br />
Improve perception of LOPSA:<br />
* Communicate better, communicate regularly -- needs work<br />

<hr />
<div>This page is a list of links pointing at Minutes of the Board of the League of Professional System Administrators (LOSPA) in chronological order.<br />
<br />
The first Board of what is now LOPSA was elected in Spring 2005 by the members of The System Administrators' Guild (SAGE), which had been a Special Technical Group (STG) of USENIX. The intent was to have this Board manage the planned spin-off of SAGE from its USENIX parent. In November 2005, this plan was changed, and this new organization's name was changed to '''The League of Professional System Administrators'''. At various times during this entire process, this Board's work was referred to by USENIX and itself as '''SAGE''' or '''newSAGE'''. The meaning of '''SAGE''' in the minutes should be apparent from context.<br />
<br />
Per the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy on minutes dissemination]], publication of minutes may occur up to 30 days after approval, but will ordinarily happen sooner.<br />
<br />
Redactions, when present, will be clearly labeled (see the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy]] for more about redactions).<br />
<br />

== Standing Reports ==<br />
<br />
=== Treasurer's report (Globerman, Beech, Suehle) ===<br />
* [[Media:Balance_20180410.pdf | Balance sheet as of April 10, 2018]] (pdf)<br />
Bank balance on 4/10/2018: $32,222.60 (+684.83 over last reported balance on 3/24/2018)<br />
* [[Media:P&L_month_20180410.pdf | Profit and Loss, March 10, 2018 - April 10, 2018]] (pdf)<br />
* [[Media:P&L_cumulative_20180410.pdf | Profit and Loss, January 1, 2018 - April 10, 2018]] (pdf)<br />
* [[Media:Donations_2017.pdf | Donations to LOPSA in 2017]] (pdf)<br />
<br />
Brian agreed to take on cleaning up / bringing up to date our list of sponsors (the lists on the web site and in the LOPSAGram got out of sync), and that the Treasurer would maintain the list of sponsors going forward -- provided the donations are recorded in Wild Apricot, and that somebody else drafts "thank you" letters for donations/sponsorships, as well as the end-of-year Annual Statement / "Thank you for your support" letter (which Aleksey said he'd do).<br />
<br />
Aleksey asked if the directors have to track hours spent on LOPSA business (are there any IRS requirements for us to do so?) Brian said no, as long as we're volunteering, directors don't have to track hours worked.<br />
<br />
=== Membership report (VanDevender) ===<br />
For once, Steve could not attend; no membership report.<br />
<br />
== Committee reports ==<br />
<br />
=== Conferences/Events (Adams) ===<br />
<br />
Regarding Community Manager Roger Luedecke's proposal to go to LFNW -- Aleksey will let Roger know that we'd like to see proposals for travel to conferences -- we'd prefer locations where we don't already have an active chapter -- but let's see some proposals.<br />
<br />
==== LOPSA Cascadia 2019: (Globerman) ====<br />
<br />
Brian is still looking for a venue for CasITConf 2019.<br />
<br />
=== Marketing/Communications (Tsalolikhin, Uphill) ===<br />
* Roger is working on the April LOPSAgram - nearly there.<br />
<br />
=== Technical Services (White) ===<br />
<br />
Danielle talked to Dan Rich - nothing special to report. The list (of issues/tasks) is a lot<br />
smaller now that we don't run our own server anymore.<br />
<br />
=== Education, Training and Mentorship (Cowell) ===<br />
<br />
* We added two colleges to https://lopsa.org/System-Admin-Colleges -- thanks to tanner filip for writing in with two schools offering degree programs in system administration!<br />
<br />
* We should update lopsa.org with a link to mentor.lopsa.org before we publish the LOPSAgram<br />
<br />
=== Recognition (Beech) ===<br />
<br />
No George. No report.<br />
<br />
=== Leadership Committee (Tsalolikhin) ===<br />
* George Beech stepped down as the board liaison to Leadership Committee; Aleksey Tsalolikhin will serve as board liaison.<br />
* Trev Thorpe resigned; Scott Murphy stepped up as head of Leadership Committee and is organizing the 2018 elections. Thanks, Scott!<br />
<br />
=== Chapters Committee (Adams) ===<br />
* Aleksey updated the list of chapters on https://lopsa.org/Chapters to remove defunct chapters; and to remove the Affiliates section as one affiliate went inactive (Sonoma County System Administrators) and the other (UUASC-LA) gave birth to a full chapter (LOPSA-LA).<br />
<br />
* Aleksey will introduce Roger to the LOPSA Chicago chapter leaders. They haven't had their first chapter meeting yet, so we didn't list them on the LOPSA Chapters web page.<br />
<br />
* Aleksey's draft of LOPSA Chapter Handbook is up at https://gitlab.com/lopsa/chapters/blob/master/chapter_handbook.md Aleksey has asked for feedback from the other LOPSA chapter leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Proposal to change board size from 9 to 7 (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Aleksey Tsalolikhin moved that:<br />
<br />
To ensure continuity of governance in the face of a reduced LOPSA membership body (i.e., to make sure we have enough candidates to fill the board), make the following change to Article 4.2 of the bylaws, Board Composition <http://governance.lopsa.org/LOPSA_Bylaws#Board_Composition>. Change the sentence:<br />
<br />
The Board shall consist of nine members ("Directors"). <br />
to:<br />
The Board shall consist of seven members ("Directors").<br />
<br />
Aleksey's motion was tabled to give the board time to study the bylaws.<br />
<br />
== Handling of email (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Following Trev's resignation from the leadership committee, we discussed timely handling of email by board members and how we can do better. We agreed we don't need a policy but we each need to do better about making sure we answer board emails especially in a timely manner.<br />
<br />
== Proposal to change LOPSA's policy on minimum requirements for starting and running and chapter (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Aleksey Tsalolikhin moved to amend Article 3.1 of "LOPSA Policies/Locals program" <http://governance.lopsa.org/LOPSA_Policies/Locals_program#Regular_Chapter><br />
to make it easier for people to start and operate chapters, and to encourage<br />
formation of chapters:<br />
<br />
Change:<br />
<br />
A Regular Chapter must have at least SIX paid members. Provisional status can be granted with THREE paid members for the first year.<br />
<br />
To:<br />
<br />
A Regular Chapter must have at least THREE paid members. Provisional status can be granted with TWO paid members for the first year.<br />
<br />
Andy seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.<br />
<br />
== Review of board goals for 2017-2018 year (Tsalolikhin) ==<br />
<br />
Review of the goals was tabled due to the late time.<br />
<br />
Reference:<br />
<br />
https://governance.lopsa.org/Goals_and_Strategic_Plans<br />
<br />
Increase the LOPSA's value proposition to its members:<br />
* Run CasITConf 2018 - DONE (cancelled CasITConf 2018)<br />
* Restart the mentorship program (done -- needs promotion)<br />
* Provide guidance and support to local chapters (started -- initial draft done, needs input from other chapter leaders)<br />
<br />
Improve execution/organization/governance:<br />
* Increase the number of active LOPSA members (Aleksey reached out to head of Leadership Committee to start the discussion on cultivating volunteers)<br />
* Document the pattern of an active LOPSA chapter valuable to its community (done, see above)<br />
* Document the pattern of a successful LOPSA conference -- needs work<br />
<br />
Improve perception of LOPSA:<br />
* Communicate better, communicate regularly -- needs work<br />
<br />

=== Purpose of "LOPSA locals" program ===<br />
<br />
The purpose of the LOPSA Locals activity is to give LOPSA members a "local community", local support and local activities. The concept of "year round hallway track" is major component of the locals philosophy. The local organizations provide much-needed local support to our members, and the LOPSA organization supports those efforts.<br />
<br />
=== Kinds of Local Organizations ===<br />
<br />
There are three kinds of local organizations that can have a relationship with LOPSA: Regular Chapters, Student Chapters, and Affiliates. Regular and Student Chapters are part of LOPSA and their members are LOPSA members. LOPSA supports the Chapters so that they can support the members.<br />
<br />
Affiliates are not part of LOPSA, but undertake activities that are in some way supportive of our community, members, or mission. LOPSA may provide some support to specific activities of these organizations.<br />
<br />
LOPSA has a policy of forming mutually beneficial relationships with other organizations that support our mission and our members and letting each group choose the relationship that works best for LOPSA and themselves.<br />
<br />
==== Regular Chapter ====<br />
<br />
A Regular Chapter is a local presence and part of LOPSA. Regular Chapters carry on the goals and programs of LOPSA at a local level. Because Regular Chapters are part of LOPSA, they are bound by the Regular Chapter Rules. Its members are LOPSA members, and its elected officers are covered by LOPSA's insurance. A Regular Chapter must have at least THREE paid members. Provisional status can be granted with TWO paid members for the first year.<br />
<br />
===== Regular Chapter Benefits =====<br />
* Directors and officers covered by LOPSA insurance<br />
* Regular Chapter structure and organization setup help<br />
* Regular Chapter Membership dues (if any) handled via LOPSA's web site and credit card processing<br />
* Online resources such as:<br />
** Dedicated area on LOPSA web site<br />
** Hosted mailing lists dedicated to the chapter<br />
* Regular Chapter fund management (separated funds and reporting for chapter dues, income, and expenses) if requested<br />
* Sponsorship of specific activities that serve the community and our members.<br />
<br />
===== LOPSA Benefits =====<br />

<br />

Applications should include: names of regular chapter members and their individual LOPSA membership status, a list of goals and objectives, local dues (if applicable), and a meeting schedule. After review by staff, the application will be put on the Board agenda for vote.<br />
<br />
===== Regular Chapter Review Process =====<br />
Each Regular Chapter will be reviewed annually by the Board. Regular Chapter activity, adherence to LOPSA's mission and policies, and number of paid members will be reviewed.<br />
<br />
===== Regular Chapter Rules =====<br />
To avoid problems resulting from potential violations of the regulations under which LOPSA is chartered as a non-profit, Regular Chapters must follow these rules. For each rule LOPSA's policy is stated, as is the process for handling policy exceptions, as well as the rationale and intent of the policy. Chapters and affiliates are expected to abide by these rules or seek exceptions to them.<br />
<br />
====== Membership ======<br />
* Policy: A LOPSA chapter must be open to all members.<br />
* Exception: Membership criteria must be publicly available and approved by the LOPSA Board or designee.<br />
* Rationale: As a professional organization, LOPSA is dedicated to serving the public in a non-discriminatory manner. A chapter may not discriminate in a manner that violates the letter or spirit of the IRS rules governing LOPSA's non-profit status.<br />
<br />
====== Political Activity ======<br />
* Policy: A chapter may not engage in political action e.g. by lobbying, supporting a specific candidate or political party, etc.<br />
* Exception: All exceptions must be approved by the LOPSA Board or designee.<br />
* Rationale: While LOPSA's ability and willingness to engage in political activity may be limited, the Board believes it is best for the national organization to work with local chapters to ensure activities are effective and consistent with LOPSA's mission. A chapter may not engage in political activity in a manner that violates the letter or spirit of the IRS rules governing LOPSA's non-profit status.<br />
<br />
====== Assets ======<br />
* Policy: If a chapter maintains cash or assets above $500, the chapter must have bylaws which are publicly available, approved by the LOPSA Board or designee, and consistent with the IRS rulemaking regarding LOPSA's non-profit status.<br />
* Exception: There are no exceptions.<br />
* Rationale: LOPSA is committed to transparent governance and fiscal responsibility and this commitment extends to its chapters. A chapter may not accumulate or distribute cash or assets in a manner that violates the letter or spirit of the IRS rules governing LOPSA's non-profit status.<br />
<br />
==== Student Chapter ====<br />
<br />
A Student Chapter is a local presence at an educational institution and part of LOPSA. Student Chapters carry on the goals and programs of LOPSA at a local level with an emphasis on education. Because Student Chapters are part of LOPSA, they are bound by the Student Chapter Rules. Its members are LOPSA Student members, and its elected officers and Student Chapter Advisor(s) are covered by LOPSA's insurance. In addition, Student Chapters must follow the institution's rules for student organizations. A Chapter must have at least SIX paid members and one paid standard member as a Student Chapter Advisor. Provisional status can be granted with THREE paid student members (plus the Advisor) for the first year.<br />

Each Student Chapter will be reviewed annually by the Board. Chapter activity, adherence to LOPSA's mission and policies, and number of members will be reviewed.<br />
<br />
===== Student Chapter Rules =====<br />
====== Membership ======<br />
* Policy: A Student Chapter must be open to all members as allowed by the rules of the institution.<br />
* Exception: Membership criteria must be publicly available and approved by the LOPSA Board or designee.<br />

<br />
===== Affiliate Benefits =====<br />
* LOPSA may provide limited sponsorship of specific activities that serve the community and our members. For example, LOPSA might co-sponsor an "install-a-thon", local sysadmin gathering or conference.

<hr />
<div>This page is a list of links pointing at Minutes of the Board of the League of Professional System Administrators (LOSPA) in chronological order.<br />
<br />
The first Board of what is now LOPSA was elected in Spring 2005 by the members of The System Administrators' Guild (SAGE), which had been a Special Technical Group (STG) of USENIX. The intent was to have this Board manage the planned spin-off of SAGE from its USENIX parent. In November 2005, this plan was changed, and this new organization's name was changed to '''The League of Professional System Administrators'''. At various times during this entire process, this Board's work was referred to by USENIX and itself as '''SAGE''' or '''newSAGE'''. The meaning of '''SAGE''' in the minutes should be apparent from context.<br />
<br />
Per the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy on minutes dissemination]], publication of minutes may occur up to 30 days after approval, but will ordinarily happen sooner.<br />
<br />
Redactions, when present, will be clearly labeled (see the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy]] for more about redactions).<br />

=== Treasurer's Report (Brian) ===<br />
*Glossary:<br />
**Revenue, income: They are the same<br />
**Gross vs net: Gross is before expenses, Net is after expenses have been reconciled<br />
**Profit/Loss: Profit and Loss is a type of report that summarizes income and expenses. It's ok to call it this even though we're a non-profit, it's just a standard type of financial report<br />
**Balance sheet (year over year comparison, through 9/28/2017)<br />
<br />
*Balance Sheet- Current total LOPSA assets: $34,507.70 (at 2016 F2B total LOPSA assets ~$47,890): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzg-MoaDNihzdGdXTWZrNzJFSWs<br />
**Liabilities: Expense reimbursements for F2F attendees.<br />
*Profit and Loss report (through 9/28/2017): Summary: -12,721.43. Most of the loss is due to CasitConf 2017 ($11,246.16): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzg-MoaDNihzbUdUWkhISEh6dWM<br />
**Cascadia 2017/2016 P/L reports: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzg-MoaDNihzZ1RvMFo5YVNCMEU https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzg-MoaDNihzWUxUX2NWVWtCdmc<br />
<br />
*Risk considerations for upcoming year: <br />
**LOPSA is currently financially sound but P/L is a concern <br />
**We seem to continue to have member retention challenges<br />
**Only a small number of sponsors, most who do not renew<br />
**CasitConf 2017 was a significant loss due to low attendance. Need to increase attendance even if this means paying for marketing and promotion<br />
**Fortunately, LOPSA EAST did not run in 2017 so did not incur significant loss as in 2016<br />
*501(c)(3) Status<br />
**Revoked due to non-filing of IRS 990 forms for 2013-2016<br />
**Form submitted requesting reinstatement Sept 2017<br />
**2013-2016 990 forms filed retroactively Sept 2017<br />
**Cost for reinstatement filing and professional accounting services ~$3650. Need to monitor IRS 990 filing status to prevent recurrence https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzg-MoaDNihzdjcwRGVOUklYa1k<br />
**Clothier Sayah & Willsey LLC can complete 2017 990 filing for us at cost of $1200<br />
<br />
=== Membership Report (Steve) ===<br />
Overall LOPSA membership continues to slowly decrease as it has for the past few years. The percentage of paid members continues to decrease relative to student members.<br />
<br />
Memberships through LOPSA conference registrations are less of a factor than they used to be since LOPSA-East has not been held for two years and Cascadia IT Conference attendance has also decreased.<br />

Day 2, 1 Oct 2017<br />
<br />
The Chair, President George Beech, re-opened the meeting at 9:24 AM.<br />
<br />
We had a quorum with 8 board members present:<br />
<br />

- Brian Globerman (Treasurer)<br />
- Aleksey Tsalolikhin (Secretary)<br />
- Andy Cowell<br />
- Danielle White<br />
- Scott Suehle<br />
- Steve VanDevender<br />
<br />
Director absent:<br />

<br />
Resolved:<br />
1. The LOPSA board will assist the Cascadia IT conference in acquiring<br />
2-4 additional local volunteers (who are not LOPSA Board members) to<br />
help with running the conference, and the LOPSA board will re-assess<br />
its involvement with CASITConf in 30 days.<br />
<br />
2. Change to committees:<br />
<br />
- Drop the Speakers Bureau for now,<br />
- Combine "Education & Training" and "Mentorship" committees into: "Education, Training, and Mentorship" committee.<br />
- Andy Cowell will lead the Education, Training and Mentorship committee.<br />
- The Board charged the chair of the Education, Training and Mentorship committee to create the charter for the newly formed committee.<br />
<br />
3. Another change to committees:<br />
- Elevate the Locals commitee from ad-hoc to Standing.<br />
- Drew Adams will chair the Locals committee. <br />
- Disband the following committees listed on http://governance.lopsa.org/LOPSA_Policies/Committees as they are unstaffed and effectively don't exist:<br />
- Development<br />
- Partnership & Liaison<br />
- Policy<br />
- Communications (We have a Marketing/Communications commitee now that does this)<br />
- Content Services<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Change to the bylaws proposed by George was unanimously approved:<br />
<br />
I motion that we remove the position of secretary-treasurer from the by-laws of LOPSA. This position shall be replaced with two separate positions on the board with descriptions of their duties as shown below. Additionally, I move that we add a section to Article Seven(7) of the LOPSA bylaws titled "Option to combine Secretary and Treasurer Officers Duties" To read as follows: <br />
<br />
Upon the agreement of the board through a normal motion tabled<br />
before the board before the selection of officers. The board<br />
may decide to combine the duties of Secretary and Treasurer into<br />
a single officer's duties. This officer would have the Title of<br />
"Secretary-Treasurer" and be responsible for carrying out all<br />
duties as described for both positions.<br />
<br />
5. Another change to the bylaws proposed by George was unanimously approved:<br />
<br />
Amend article 6.2 of the bylaws from:<br />
<br />
The Annual Directors meeting shall be held within 90 days after<br />
each election, and at the approximate midpoint of the Current Board<br />
Term. The Officers of the Association shall be selected or confirmed<br />
at the Annual Directors Meeting.<br />
<br />
to:<br />
<br />
The Annual Directors meeting shall be held within 90 days after each<br />
election. The Officers of the Association shall be selected at the<br />
Annual Directors Meeting.<br />
<br />
6. We are going to offer Larry Allen Jr. the position of Community Manager at 5 hours/week (trial) to help with publishing the LOPSAGram.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Situation''': We've had a string of failures: LOPSA East cancelled,<br />
CasITConf was in the red this year, Mentorship Program is dead<br />
in the water, lost our non-profit status. Our paid memberships<br />
(and operating income) have dwindled from a high of 800 members<br />
to under 400 members. Traffic on the mailing lists has died down.<br />
Less than 40 members voted in the last election. Unless something<br />
changes, we're headed for extinction.<br />
<br />
'''Purpose''': Turn the membership trend around and get people to think<br />
well of LOPSA and want to join and participate.<br />
<br />
'''Strategic plan''': Get some wins and make them known. Communicate better,<br />
communicate regularly. Hire a part-time remote Community Manager<br />
to ensure the LOPSAGram goes out monthly.<br />
<br />
Start looking at marketing firms that understands non-profits, and<br />
do a small initial engagement as a feeler. Their first project<br />
can be to help increase attendance at CasITConf.<br />

'''Purpose''': Put a viable regional conference there that<br />
doesn't burn out its organizers and that does add value<br />
to the community through high quality affordable training<br />
and continuing professional education; and that increases<br />
LOPSA's reputation and swells its membership. Get additional<br />
regional conferences to spring up following this successful<br />
pattern.<br />

<div>'''Situation''': Each chapter runs itself in its own way,<br />
the LOPSA branding is weak here. We have a number of<br />

to keep existing chapters going. Strengthen the LOPSA<br />
brand within the chapters and increase LOPSA support to chapter leaders.<br />

and encouraging members to get active.</div>Atsalolihttps://governance.lopsa.org/index.php?title=Provide_guidance_and_support_to_local_chapters&diff=3323Provide guidance and support to local chapters2018-04-10T18:06:37Z<p>Atsaloli: Created page with "'''Situation''': We have defunct chapters; extant chapters operate nearly completely independent of the parent organization; there is little or no conversion of chapter membe..."</p>

<div>'''Situation''': We have defunct chapters; extant chapters <br />
operate nearly completely independent of the parent<br />
organization; there is little or no conversion of<br />
chapter members to LOPSA members; and little to no<br />
promotion of parent organization at the chapter level.<br />

'''Purpose''': Increase the value of the parent organization<br />
to the chapters, and help the chapters provide value<br />
to their communities; make it easier for members to get<br />
active in their chapters and form local chapters.<br />

<div>'''Situation''': We don't have a venue and attendance was low year, and the conference actually lost money. Moreover, we don't have our non-profit status back yet which makes it harder to ask for sponsors.<br />
<br />
'''Purpose''': to advance the practice of system administration through education and training; and to increase membership.<br />
<br />
'''Strategic Plan''':<br />
<br />
The LOPSA board will assist the Cascadia IT conference in recruiting 2-4 additional local volunteers (who are not LOPSA Board members) to help with running the conference; and will re-assess its involvement with CasITConf in 30 days.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, the Conferences committee will help the CasITConf Chair find a venue, and set a conference date that would give adequate time to promote the event (6 months runway), starting the promotion at LISA. (Note: the date shouldn't conflict with Northwest Linux Fest, give a couple of weeks separation).<br />
<br />
Once the CasITConf conference committee is fully staffed, including non LOPSA Board members as per above, leverage the LOPSA member base to find speakers and sponsorships.</div>Atsalolihttps://governance.lopsa.org/index.php?title=Goals_and_Strategic_Plans&diff=3320Goals and Strategic Plans2018-04-10T18:04:50Z<p>Atsaloli: Add goals and strategic plans top-level page</p>

# Increase the LOPSA's value proposition to its members<br />
## [[Run CasITConf 2018]]<br />
## [[Restart the mentorship program]]<br />
## [[Provide guidance and support to local chapters]]<br />
# Improve execution/organization/governance<br />
## [[Increase the number of active LOPSA members]]<br />

I'm proud to announce the Leadership Committee's 2017 election results. The results were prepared Matt Okeson-Harlow, processed by Andrew Hume, and confirmed by Scott Murphy.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Paul English, George Beech, Ski Kacoroski, and other members of the board for supporting the Leadership Committee during the elections.<br />
<br />
Extra special thanks to the Leadership Committee this year. Without having any incumbents re-run, there was much more work leading up to the election compared to usual. Our success is thanks to Adam Luck, Andrew Hume, Matt Okeson-Harlow, Scott Murphy, and Trevor Thorpe. They are our Leadership Committee.<br />
<br />
I'd also like to recognize our exiting Board Members for their service. Thank you for your service Atom Powers, Paul English, Ray Thrush, and Ski Kacoroski. <br />
<br />
Ski has served eight terms, which is the longest of any Board Member in LOPSA history. Thanks for your time and dedicatation, Ski. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.<br />

The elections for the 2017 LOPSA Board of Directors has concluded. The winners are Drew Adams, Andy Cowell, Aleksey Tsalolikhin, and Danielle White.<br />

Report on the 2017 election.<br />
<br />
The 2017 LOPSA election was conducted as it has been in the past. Votes are automatically collected by software run by Matt Okeson-Harlow and at the end of the election are captured and processed by the Meek single transferable vote method. The software is available at http://www.openstv.org (although I just did a ‘yum install openstv’) and if you'd like to run the election yourself, the raw ballots are presented below. I used version 1.7 of OpenSTV.<br />
<br />
For a more detailed explanation of the overall method, material may be found at http://www.openstv.org and Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
The abbreviated summary for this election follows below.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page is a list of links pointing at Minutes of the Board of the League of Professional System Administrators (LOSPA) in chronological order.<br />
<br />
The first Board of what is now LOPSA was elected in Spring 2005 by the members of The System Administrators' Guild (SAGE), which had been a Special Technical Group (STG) of USENIX. The intent was to have this Board manage the planned spin-off of SAGE from its USENIX parent. In November 2005, this plan was changed, and this new organization's name was changed to '''The League of Professional System Administrators'''. At various times during this entire process, this Board's work was referred to by USENIX and itself as '''SAGE''' or '''newSAGE'''. The meaning of '''SAGE''' in the minutes should be apparent from context.<br />
<br />
Per the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy on minutes dissemination]], publication of minutes may occur up to 30 days after approval, but will ordinarily happen sooner.<br />
<br />
Redactions, when present, will be clearly labeled (see the [[LOPSA Policies/Minutes dissemination|policy]] for more about redactions).<br />
