<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 />

== In person Board Meeting (Everyone) ==<br />
We have had a lot of discussion about having an in person meeting several (maybe all) of us think it is vital. <br />
According to the schedules filled in there are only 4 weeks until the one possible time for all to meet.<br />
We are in a very tight place financially so there is no money to support this meeting but as a board we need to do some work that can't be done well via conference call and IRC.<br />
<br />
** No good day for all, trying to at least schedule an interim skype or other form of video chat now for an extended biz-dev meeting and brainstorming session<br />

== Appoint Trey as a life time member of LOPSA (Bennett) ==<br />
Language is being mined from previous motions and will be passed via e-mail<br />
<br />
== Discuss in person meeting... (Bennett) ==<br />
We need to have an in person meeting. IMHO What are our options? How can we have it and incur the least cost? We have a working plan on location and rough timing. Details are being worked out with availability grids/etc for the 2nd week of August<br />
<br />
== Multi-member group discount... (Bennett) ==<br />
At the USENIX meeting two different people who were managers asked if we had any kind of multi-person/ group membership discounts. Philip and I discussed and decided we could offer a buy 4 get or buy 5 get one free deal. Does this need board review and approval? We have a plan for a promotion during our next event and will review after the event for possible policy update to make it a regular plan rather than merely for promotions.<br />
<br />
== Sponsorships... (Ski) ==<br />
Ski has been doing research on gaining sponsorships and will report back with details of how we can sell our features and how the various board members can assist in the efforts.<br />
<br />
== Student Chapter for UMass Boston... (Bennett) ==<br />
At the USENIX meeting I(Bennett) talked with a UMass Boston Professor who teaches Sys Admining. He said his students where starting a computer club. They would be interested in being a LOPSA student chapter. Current policies and committees are in place that can help with the task and are being invoked to help the new chapter.<br />

== Action Items ==<br />
*Bennett - Got email from Eben. Lopsagram to go out in next day or before the end of the week.<br />
*Kiser - (Philip can you put in here what you said. I don't remember and I didn't seem to get notes.)<br />

<br />
* Treasurer's report <br />
The financial picture is not good because we are not bringing in members or sponsorships to meet our debts. We are meeting our expenses currently because of the success of PICC. We are hampered by the fact that we are not getting timely financial data.<br />
<br />
* Membership report<br />
Membership is flat. Our database is making it very difficult to get a handle on the numbers.<br />
* Technical services report<br />
Rich reported that Travis told him he would report to Jesse and Jesse would report to the board but Jesse is not here. Philip will contact Travis and Jesse,<br />
<br />
* Conference/events activities report<br />
We will have a table and pamphlets at the USENIX Federated Conference week next week.<br />
Bennett will setup the table and banners with some brochures but won't be staying with the booth. Bennet will try to find some volunteers by writing to BBLISA and asking in the lopsagram<br />
<br />
* Upcoming MtM <br />
Bennett will get out the memo to members June 15 (tomorrow) or shortly there after.<br />
