<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 />

==== LOPSA-NJ (Boris) ====<br />
I met with Joe Youn and Mike Stoppay and discussed the future of LOPSA-NJ. The next meeting will be September 1 at the Mercer County Library in Lawrenceville, NJ. There is a current request out to the lists for a speaker for that night. They have the Library reserved for the next few months. They want to host some meetings at Montclair University as they think they will draw some interest from NYC. They want to <br />
* Have LOPSA host the LOPSA-NJ email list and I have let William know this and he is on-board with handing that over when we are ready to do that. <br />
* Have LOPSA create email addresses for them to handle LOPSA-NJ email. <br />
<br />
==== LOPSA-East (Boris) ====<br />
I met with Jou Youn and Mike Stoppay yesterday at Montclair State University. The quick response is the site is doable for a conference. I will be putting together the entire report in the agenda for the next meeting on August 8th. <br />
<br />
* They have access to two buildings<br />
* One room is an ideal room for Keynote. Full AV, multile large screens, Confidence monitors for speakers and we can video anything in that room<br />
* Atrium for Hallway track<br />
* Seminar room for vendors and food<br />
* Outdoor area as well for hallway track and dining<br />
* 3 dates June 10,17 or 24th<br />
* They want to retain the name LOPSA-East<br />
* Will be one day event with Friday night gathering at local Hotel<br />
* Parking is an issue but workable on a Saturday<br />
* Will need to provide shuttle service from Train as Train doesn't stop at Montclair on Saturday but that would depend on the registrants.<br />
* We only need to pay for Food as Rooms/Internet are free.<br />
* If the conference were to grow they have a full conference center which is a cost. I told them to get me the price for that so we can compare.<br />
<br />
I walked around the buildings with Joe and Mike which is a feat for me as it was a brutal day. It is a short walk from the parking lot or Shuttle stop. We could use the two buildings. I will be sending out a call for volunteers for the committee in a week or two. Then from there we will set the date, tracks etc.<br />
<br />
I am also going to contact:<br />
* Tom Limoncelli,<br />
* Matt Simmons<br />
* Dave Parter<br />
* David Blank Edelman<br />
<br />
The four of them have been integral with the success of past LOPSA-NJ conferences. I will get with them personally and ask them for their support in backing the conference, if they would be in the area if they would like to do a talk or tutorial. <br />
<br />
This will be a scaled down conference of one day with Tutorials, Talks and Keynotes.Keynote will either open or close the day. The day will end around 5:30-6 PM. Probably have a start time of 8:30 AM Friday night will be a meetup session where we would stuff bags for Registration.<br />
<br />
So it looks good for now. I told them LOPSA would sign any agreement and all agreements will have a back out clause where we will not get nailed for a big chunk.<br />
==== Lisa'16 (Kacoroski, Uphill) ====<br />
===== Yerkes Award =====<br />
We are still looking for a winner. George and Ski will review Stackoverflow for possible winners.<br />
=== Education (Kacoroski, Boris)===<br />
On hold until Face to Face<br />
<br />
=== Speakers Bureau (Powers, English)===<br />
* On hold until F2F<br />
<br />
=== Marketing/Communications (LOPSAgram, #lopsa-live, etc) (English, Uphill) ===<br />
* August LOPSAgram is pretty thin. Anyone got anything? I've got: some locals, and President's corner. That is it!!<br />
* Accumulating Marketing "stuff" here: https://board.lopsa.org/Marketing for a meeting with Heather, hopefully before F2F<br />
* Paul will try to speak with Heather before the F2F and will work with her on the next LOPSAgram so he will be able to turn it over to her.<br />
* With Heather's help we should be able to have a better budget with defined expenditures.<br />
* Paul is working with a vendor for advertising in the LOPSAgram for September/October.<br />
* George recommended a call for nominations for Yerkes Award winners in the next LOPSAgram.<br />
* Atom asked about any conferences coming up that we can remind people of. Steve recommended the big list on USENIX's site.<br />
* John mentioned about an email from Aleksey about Volunteers of the month/year. Also mentorship award was handed out at the Mentorship BoF.<br />
=== Technical Services Report (Beech, VanDevender) ===<br />
Dan is officially the chair!<br />
<br />
==== Proposed Projects to get started ====<br />
===== Short term projects =====<br />
<br />
* Migrate everything off of lopsa-sb1 (to DreamHost?)<br />
** Wiki<br />
** art-dept<br />
** Any other static content (?)<br />
** mailman lists<br />
** lopsabot<br />
** Ticketing (RT - migrate to something else?)<br />
*** John suggested Spiceworks<br />
*** George said let the Tech team decide as they will work with it the most.<br />
** Archive all of the old lopsa.org web pages and membership records<br />
** Other?<br />
* Identify other hosts and evaluate if we still need them:<br />
** lopsa-dev<br />
** monitoring<br />
** Other?<br />
* Setup and configure locals.lopsa.org<br />
** Test WordPress server currently running at locals-dh.lopsa.org, one site configured for SASAG<br />
* DNS - Do we want to migrate it to DreamHost?<br />
** Ski suggested move the DNS<br />
<br />
<br />
===== Long term projects: =====<br />
<br />
* Project tracking<br />
** Find a way to track our projects, volunteer resources, and time spent<br />
* Secure vault<br />
** We need a better method for securing shared passwords, certificates, etc.<br />
* Slack instead of / in addition to IRC?<br />
** Can we build a bot to mirror the content between them or does one already exist?<br />
<br />
Does the board have anything else they want the TSC to work on?<br />
<br />
=== Mentorship Report (Boris, Beech) ===<br />
* Craig will be away for a few weeks. We have to stop the current automation as it is not working properly.<br />
=== Recognition (Uphill, Disney) ===<br />
==== Sysadmin Day ====<br />
* John sent a package of stuff to Warner. He was the only Local that requested anything.<br />
* We have a winner and we will get his contact info to send him the prize. Paul will contact Thomas on this.<br />
=== Leadership Committee (Warner, Kacoroski) ===<br />
Sent gift cards out to folks who helped with the election. Need correct address for Greppy.<br />
<br />
=== LISA '16 Exchange Agreement with USENIX (stevev) ===<br />
<br />
* See email from Jasmine Murcia <jasmine@usenix.org> to lopsa-board.<br />
* In return for a $45 registration discount for LOPSA members to LISA '16, USENIX is asking for a LISA '16 listing on the LOPSA events calendar and a post to LOPSA social media channels to promote LISA '16.<br />
* Proposed addition to agreement: LOPSA table at LISA '16 in exchange for USENIX table at Cascadia and/or LOPSA-East in 2017?<br />
* I can continue working with USENIX on the agreement as approved by the board.<br />
* It was also suggested that we have the table starting Tuesday at the Registration and possibly move it to the vendor area for the rest of the week. In previous meetings we discussed that we might look into getting a table in the vendor area. <br />
<br />
=== Next Meeting Date ===<br />
The next meeting will be the Face to Face and at that meeting the new meeting schedule will be set.<br />

<br />
=== Treasurer's report (Disney, Kacoroski) ===<br />
Sorry for lack of Treasurer's report, especially after being absent previous meeting. We are having a serious problem with the Wells Fargo account. The problem is unclear, but it appears to be the case that Wells Fargo has suspended or closed the account due to needing some additional information. I have been on the phone with them this evening trying to understand what happened, but the customer service agents do not have all the information we need. I will be calling the person we set up the account with (in Albuquerque) directly in the morning to get more info. I will report back to the board by noon tomorrow. NB: The Wells Fargo account is only one of several accounts we have, so we still have a way to make/receive payments.<br />

==== Sysadmin Day ====<br />
* Paul: LOPSAgram says "watch for an email" - Thomas thinks we can send a separate email with a contest.<br />
* LOPSAgram says what we've said before: "Start planning your local party now. If you set up a meetup and 10 or more people sign up, send an email to communications@lopsa.org with the meetup link and LOPSA will send you 3 t-shirts to help celebrate SysAdmin day." - can we actually do this? Who has the shirts that can send them? (Paul: cannot).<br />
* Paul: link on lopsa.org goes to sysadminday.com, and https://lopsa.org/event-2275321. Perhaps we can list any local meetups at https://lopsa.org/event-2275321?<br />
* Sysadmin Day Hootsuite queue<br />
* The consensus of the board was to send T-Shirts to any Local that is holding an event/Meet up for the day. John will send shirts to Warner.<br />
* It was decided to have a contest for people to showcase their day as a sysadmin. They should tweet that to @lopsa with #SAtop10. The contest will cloase Midnight July 27 EDT. Or tweet us your favorite SySAdmin tool or Online Resource with #SAfavetool with the same deadline. <br />
=== Warner Ohio Sysadminday (Boris) ===<br />
I do an annual Sysadmin Day celebration:<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 />

<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 (Disney, Kacoroski) ===<br />
Sorry for lack of Treasurer's report, especially after being absent previous meeting. We are having a serious problem with the Wells Fargo account. The problem is unclear, but it appears to be the case that Wells Fargo has suspended or closed the account due to needing some additional information. I have been on the phone with them this evening trying to understand what happened, but the customer service agents do not have all the information we need. I will be calling the person we set up the account with (in Albuquerque) directly in the morning to get more info. I will report back to the board by noon tomorrow. NB: The Wells Fargo account is only one of several accounts we have, so we still have a way to make/receive payments.<br />

==== Sysadmin Day ====<br />
* Paul: LOPSAgram says "watch for an email" - Thomas thinks we can send a separate email with a contest.<br />
* LOPSAgram says what we've said before: "Start planning your local party now. If you set up a meetup and 10 or more people sign up, send an email to communications@lopsa.org with the meetup link and LOPSA will send you 3 t-shirts to help celebrate SysAdmin day." - can we actually do this? Who has the shirts that can send them? (Paul: cannot).<br />
* Paul: link on lopsa.org goes to sysadminday.com, and https://lopsa.org/event-2275321. Perhaps we can list any local meetups at https://lopsa.org/event-2275321?<br />
* Sysadmin Day Hootsuite queue<br />
* The consensus of the board was to send T-Shirts to any Local that is holding an event/Meet up for the day. John will send shirts to Warner.<br />
* It was decided to have a contest for people to showcase their day as a sysadmin. They should tweet that to @lopsa with #SAtop10. The contest will cloase Midnight July 27 EDT. Or tweet us your favorite SySAdmin tool or Online Resource with #SAfavetool with the same deadline. <br />
=== Warner Ohio Sysadminday (Boris) ===<br />

== Committee reports ==<br />
=== Conferences/Events/Chapters activities report (Powers) ===<br />
==== LOPSA-NJ (Boris) ====<br />
* I have the emails from the lopsa-nj list. I think we should should match the list to paid members so we can get a feel for how many paid members, lapsed members are on the list.<br />
* On July 26 George and I will be meeting with Joe Youn and Mike Stoppay at Montclair.<br />
<br />
==== LOPSA-East/PICC (Boris) ====<br />
* On July 26 George and I will be going to Montclair University to meet with Joe Youn and Mike Stoppay to scope out the venue for the Spring Conference. We will look at the rooms and what is available on site. We will review the hotels in the area. We will also talk about a name for the conference. Since we need to reboot the conference it should be renamed. I think we should have a decision after the September meeting for LOPSA-NJ and publicize it in the October LOPSAGram. If Joe and Mike are on board I will step in to coordinate things for this year while we transition to a better plan and policy for Conferences LOPSA runs.<br />
<br />
==== CasITconf ====<br />
As of now it looks like it will be held at the Hotel Deca again.<br />
==== Offering Zoom to Locals (Boris) ====<br />

* George stated that Hangouts on Air is better suited for that as it will go right up on You Tube and we would not have to handle it.<br />
* Thomas mentioned that the recording devices are the big issue. John said he will look into recording devices and report back.<br />
==== Lisa'16 (Kacoroski, Uphill) ====<br />

''Steve'' Seconded</div>Jborishttps://governance.lopsa.org/index.php?title=Board_meeting_Minutes&diff=3214Board meeting Minutes2016-07-25T13:32:49Z<p>Jboris: /* 2016 */</p>
<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 />

==== LOPSA-NJ (Boris) ====<br />
The June meeting for LOPSA-NJ had about 25 attendees. Joe Youn and Mike Stoppay introduced themselves as the new organizers for LOPSA-NJ. I spoke to the attendees about LOPSA-East and LOPSA-NJ. I expressed my thanks to William for what he has done to keep the group together and moving and we did not want his efforts to go to waste. I restated what the Board's intent was to do with Locals going forward and emphasized that the Board is there to support the local in any way possible. I explained what our goal was for a conference in this area. As the oldest Local in LOPSA we (the Board) don't want this to fail. <br />
<br />
After the meeting I spoke with Joe and Mike and here are their concerns:<br />
# They would like to have a LOPSA-NJ email address that is forwarded to their emails. ex. lopsanj@lopsa.org<br />
# Possible moving of the mailing list from William to handled by LOPSA. Only so it has continuity and to release the burden of William having to handle something he is a distant part of.<br />
# Keep the meetup for now but look to something that is not a monetary burden on the group.<br />
# Bring the Group talks back to technical and invigorating talks. They recognize this is a tough thing to do and this is where the Speakers Bureau will be a big plus.<br />
# Possible moving the meeting site. The use of the Lawrenceville Library may be tied to William living in Lawrenceville and may cause an issue going forward. Possibly having meetings at multiple locations at different months.<br />
# Joe will survey the lopsa-nj mailing list for feedback of members demographics and ideas for talk topics.<br />
<br />
All in all it was a great meeting and I think the members that were there left with a better understanding of the organization and the board. <br />
<br />
I did receive a comment from a few that they felt the Board was doing a great job in making LOPSA a better organization.<br />
<br />
At the end of the meeting two members came to me asking:<br />
# if they could volunteer to help on the financial committee<br />
# if we contact local Educational Institutions as the few he is in contact with have not heard of LOPSA.<br />
<br />
On the above questions I submitted the one volunteer's information to the Board for consideration and the other I have his email which I will contact to get the schools he is talking to reach out to them as to what we have to offer.<br />
==== LOPSA-East (Boris) ====<br />
Met with LOPSA-NJ new Organizers Jou Youn and Mike Stoppay and discussed rebooting LOPSA-East. I will be setting up a meeting (online) with them and whoever wants to be on the call from the board to discuss more items. I am planning on going to Montclair University in JUly to scope out the venue and possibilities.<br />
* They agree to change the name<br />
* Possible new site of Montclair State University<br />
** June Date as school is empty between Sessions<br />
** No cost for Rooms<br />
** Free A/V and Internet/WiFi<br />
** Local to NJ Transit<br />
*** Shuttle service from train station coinciding with Arrival/departures<br />
** Close proximity to New York<br />
** Food Service on site<br />
*** Go basic on Lunch and Break items<br />
* Shoot for 100 Attendees<br />
* Reach out to prominent members of the community who helped in the past<br />
* Local Hotels to choose from<br />
* Friday Night at Hotel with small function as before (Bag Stuffing Party)<br />
* Saturday Conference 8 AM - 5 PM<br />
* One Key note<br />
* Vendor display area will double as Break area<br />
They will get back to me with dates and contacts. I suggest we setup a meeting with them online in late July with the Conference committee and hopefully to announce the conference in the September/October time frame.<br />
<br />
==== Lisa'16 (Uphill) ====<br />
* George will be talking at LISA<br />
* John will be there<br />
* Ski is most likely going<br />
* The Office Manager will have to handle the sign up genius for manning the table.<br />

* (Boris) Craig Constantine is willing to champion the revamping of the Mentorship Process. More info when he gets <br />
* (Craig's Comments)<br />
** Have the Board charge me with “rebuild the LMP system”. Tell me to whom I report. We’ll pick a deadline for submission of a plan.<br />
** I’ll be a lightening rod to work up a set of “user stories” -- simple narratives explaining all the use cases that need to exist. I’ll work up a basic list of features. Just a plain-English, high-level description of the thing. This is then reviewed (and presumably modified or approved.)<br />
** Next I’ll scope out each part of the thing. So for example: The plan says there’s a database? ...what is that? ...where does it run? ...who installs it? Plan says there are web forms, how are they written, where are they installed? etc. This will reveal what resources are needed. We’ll review what resources we need — which are available in-house (assign/grant them), which can we drum up from member volunteers, and which (if any) do we need to outsource.<br />
** The obvious last step is then to implement it, which will amount to me overseeing each of those resources.<br />
* George wants to support Craig. We should allow Craig to step in. We should put it on hold right now and rebuild it so it can be handled properly.<br />
* George will reach out to Craig to get a starting point.<br />
* Ski asked if we had our Office Manager handle it for now handling two mailing lists.<br />
* John Suggested we setup a meeting with Craig and get moving on this.<br />

== Community Manager ... (Ski) ==<br />
At https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MhclE00yBiyafJ4xDD2Xt4qdmVnSLvq3ix7tW7vODPg I have a list of tasks to get Heather started with us. If this looks good, I can start the training this week. Also, under the board docs folder I have created a Community Manager folder that we will share with her to share documents with her.<br />
* The consensus of the board was to have Ski work with her from the tasks in the Google Doc. <br />
* Matt suggested she attend the Face to Face. The Board agreed to this.<br />
== Board Channel on Slack ==<br />
* George has obtained control of the Board Slack channel from Mark. He contacted Slack about the LOPSA Channel and it is owned by someone and in a few months if the traffic is still dead we will get control of that board.<br />
* Atom is concerned about IRC and XMPP integration.<br />
* The consensus of the Board is to go with Slack instead of IRC for now and see how it works.<br />
* The Meetup would be another item for the Occie Manager to handle.<br />
== Meetup for SASAG ==<br />
* Thomas reported that SASAG was losing their site and they were thinking of going to meetup. This was discussed at an earlier meeting that LOPSA would get a meetup Pro account and offer this to our Locals. This was approved at an earlier meeting.<br />
* George suggested that SASAG be the first Local to go with this.<br />
* George suggested a contact to the Tech team for LOPSA to support SASAG on services they are losing and we can provide.<br />

George asked if we track the schools our Student members are coming from. Steve reported that we don't ask for that information but we could get it off the student ID but that would not be all. Steve thinks we may have to start asking for that. George will get with Steve offline about his ideas on student members.<br />
<br />
Paul asked if we solicit students specifically for Mentorship? Is there Welcome message different and mention Mentorship? Steve stated it isn't different but he stated we could send a mailing to all student members about the mentorship program. Steve will look into having Wild Apricot handle this when the student signs up. <br />

==== LOPSA-East (Boris)====<br />
I met with William today. He missed the 60 Day refund window for PayPal so he has to write a check for each refund from the Checking account associated with the PayPal account. I also picked up 3 boxes of T Shirts. I will catalog them and let you know the inventory. William will be paying the cost for the lopsaeast.org domain name for the next year. Going forward we will have to deal with this and if the name changes tell him to let it drop. If it stays the same then we have to have him transfer ownership to us.<br />
==== LOPSA-NJ (Boris)====<br />
Joe Youn and Mike Stoppay will be the new organizers for LOPSA-NJ. There is a meeting on June 2nd. I will be at that meeting. I will speak to the people there about going forward and what we, as a board, are expecting from them. I will also try to touch base with everyone there about LOPSA-East or whatever it will be called going forward. William will be handling the lopsa-nj mailing list for the time being but going forward they will have to decide what to do.<br />
<br />
Thomas mentioned that the lopsa-nj mailing list is not hosted on our server. [Boris] The lopsa-nj mailing list is hosted by William.<br />
==== Lisa'16 (Kacoroski, Uphill) ====<br />
Are we doing LOPSA after Dark in Boston? If so where?<br />
<br />
Ski replied that he hopes we do one so we have to contact USENIX about the Hotel and where we could hold it. Ski reminded everyone that it costs from $500-$800 and we should try and find a sponsor for that. <br />
<br />
Thomas asked about the annual Member meeting we hold at LISA. Ski stated that as soon as the BoFs are announced we will reserve the room for the meeting.<br />
<br />
Paul: I will likely be unemployed, but I have family in the area I'd like to visit. I might be able to just cover the table for most of LISA, since no one will be paying for me to attend.<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 />

== Warner Moore on Conferences ==<br />
Warner has agreed to talk with us about conferences as he runs several successful conferences. Warner explained to the Board how Ohio Linux Fest was developed and has progressed. In his ventures the attendees cover the cost of the attendees and the sponsors cover the lions share of the costs for the conference. He tries to incorporate ample time for attendees to view and converse with the sponsors. He reviewed both CasITconf and LOPSA-East websites and saw them different but did see where we could start over. In planning such an event the areas where you can cut costs are:<br />
* Food<br />
* Wifi<br />
* Venue<br />
<br />
When he first started they did not provide food. They also only provided Wifi for the instructors, presenters and Sponsors but that is a negotiable item. <br />
<br />
Warner did recognize that both conferences are small compared to Ohio Linux Fest. Warner's reccomendations were:<br />
* Start small. Maybe one day or two if it proves feasible<br />
* Limit risk by making the costs as lean as possible<br />
* When negotiating the venue negotiate a reasonable cancellation policy to limit the impact. The Hotels are out to sell rooms so looking for other venues that have the room space. With 150 as the possible number of attendees companies might have the meeting space that will work.<br />
* When speaking to vendors you have to be able to work with them and be flexible. The sponsors would be used to handle the other extras. If you only have table space then structure your sponsor fees accordingly.<br />
* Although obvious you need to market the event and get to the possible sponsors. <br />

== Committee reports ==<br />
=== Conferences/Events/Chapters activities report (Powers) ===<br />
==== Conferences ====<br />
George asked the Conference committee to draw up a Policy that covers Conferences and sets the guidelines a Local needs to follow to hold a conference and have LOPSA back it.<br />
==== LOPSA-NJ ====<br />
There was a question about the continuance of LOPSA-NJ. William sent out a message on April 27 saying he would be stepping away and asked for anyone who was going to step up to run the chapter. Thomas mentioned he knew of a person that may step up to run it.<br />
==== Locals Configuration (Boris) ====<br />
I have done some searching and although I have not found any concrete policy or requirements whenever a chapter or affiliate to a main organization (I mainly searched in the Fraternity circles) they consistently mention Officers (ex. President, Vice-President, Treasurer etc.) they also mention By-Laws or constitution. So I don;t think we will be out of line that we require a formal organization for the Locals Chapters. It could be set to a minimum of President, Vice President and Secretary/Treasurer. It could possibly as lean as President and Vice President with the duties shared between the two.<br />
<br />
(George) Would it be helpful to have Sara give a presentation on her organizations structure? They are a sorority, but we have a lot in common as far as size and structure.<br />
<br />
Board asked George to set up with Sara if she could attend a Board meeting to discuss this.<br />
==== Lisa'16 (Uphill) ====<br />
===== Yerkes Award =====<br />
We need to get working on this (Ski)<br />
<br />
We will need to find a company to create the award and possibly contact William for the name of the company he used and use them.<br />
<br />

** Anything about LOPSA-East?<br />
<br />

<br />

=== Leadership Committee (Warner, Kacoroski) ===<br />
=== Use of a Mail Handling Service (Boris) ===<br />
<br />
'''Below is what was a topic on 24 Feb 2014'''<br />
<br />
As the organization starts to get more mature we have to start looking at having certain services handled by a constant. Even though we are a Volunteer organization, run by Volunteers that only goes so far. This past year I know of two issues where checks were lost. These checks were never cashed so it is an issue for the Post Office. But it brought up the idea of having a Mail Handling Service. This is the initial step to that end. It starts the conversation. No one hates spending money like me but there comes a time when you have to pay for something to have it always there. I loaded a Proposal from Regus (www.regus.com) to Google Docs and sent it to everyone in email. The cost of this service would be $69 a month plus the cost of shipping our mail to a designated person plus 20% of that postage to cover the materials for repackaging the mail into one package. The frequency is based on our preference but at a minimum it would be once a week. <br />
We should start looking at this type of service as it will be easier going forward as the board changes over the years. This will not cure losing any mail but it will ease the burden of board members getting to the Post Office during business hours, while on vacation or on travel for business.<br />
<br />
A discussion followed on pros and cons and different ways to handle this issue. Matt Simmons will contact USENIX to see if they can provide us this service. As an outcome John was tasked to go research this service and come back to the board with proposals.<br />
<br />
The Board tasked John to start the process of setting up the Regus account<br />

== Open Board Position... (Ski) ==<br />
We have two options. We can appoint someone to fill it for the rest of the time or add it to the election slate.<br />
<br />
== LOPSA-East Cleanup Tasks (Ski) ==<br />
We still have a few tasks that need to be completed to close out LOPSA-East:<br />
* Letter to Members<br />
** (George) Sent today - 5/9<br />
** (George) 38% open rate, a few response, mostly positive. Either people don't care or are oddly quiet.<br />
* Refunds<br />
* Stuff in William's House<br />
** John Boris has contacted William about setting up a time to get the inventory<br />
* Contacts for awards, etc.<br />
* Business Cards<br />
** John Boris has a local Company, as we all probably do.<br />
** (George) I suggest Moo.com we've used them for years at Stack - and they are virtual so anyone can manage it. They do all sorts of printing, not just business cards and have a 15% discount for 501(c)3's. A pack of 50 basic business cards starts at ~25$<br />
* Check for status of refunds to attendees<br />
<br />
== LOPSA-East Reboot (Boris) ==<br />
On May 2nd I attended a conference in Lancaster Pa. at the Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit IU-13 www.iu13.org. The conference center is ideal for what we do albeit there is no hotel on site. Here is the contact Information for the center:<br />

<br />
== Community Manager... (Ski) ==<br />
At a local conference, I talked with the organizer and he told me about the person who did all the 'back office' work to get the conference running. She has submitted her resume for consideration for our position. Advantages are she has the background, a really good reference, and she is in a 4 year program to get a system admin degree. Possible disadvantage is that she will finish up her degree in a year or so. I plan to meet with her this week to find out more. <br />
<br />
== Adding new users to Wells Fargo bank account (Disney) ==<br />

<br />
Seconded by John.<br />
<br />
Motion passed unanimously.<br />
<br />
== William's unexpired Term ==<br />
The Board decided to wait until after the election to deal with this.<br />
<br />
== Notes/announcements ==<br />
<br />

''John'' Motioned for Adjournment<br />
''George'' Seconded</div>Jborishttps://governance.lopsa.org/index.php?title=Board_meeting_Minutes&diff=3208Board meeting Minutes2016-05-12T17:55:05Z<p>Jboris: /* 2016 */</p>
<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 />

=== Technical Services Report (Beech, VanDevender) ===<br />
Dan is moving full speed forward with migrating us to Dreamhost. <br />
<br />
The objectives going forward are: <br />
<br />
1. Shutdown all VPSs<br />
2. Migrate as many services as we can to managed services (Monitoring, lists, issue tracking, etc) <br />
<br />
He will be working with Philip to get the Media wiki sites working. <br />
<br />
Going forward we want the TSC to focus on managing issues with our services, and working on customization work. We don't want to have them need to run another infrastructure in their free time.<br />
<br />
=== Mentorship Report (Boris, Beech) ===<br />
Went through and released the backlog on proteges waiting for a mentor. Paired a few up (and I hope it worked). <br />
<br />
Will follow up and monitor the accounts to make sure things are moving along smoothly.<br />
<br />
Ski said that if we use a targeted request for help in the LOPSAGram we might get a good response as in the past it was a success.<br />
<br />
John will put up a Doodle for a meeting of the LMPT.<br />
=== Recognition (Uphill, Disney) ===<br />
* Thomas has not heard back from the owner of sysadminday.org. He spoke to SASAG and people there were still up for getting T-Shirts to hand out and maybe help them put on an event. <br />
* '''''NOTE: Refer to Communications section for SySadmin Day suggestions.'''''<br />
=== Leadership Committee (Warner, Kacoroski) ===<br />
Warner has a few candidates. We need a few more candidates to give the members a good choice. <br />
<br />
== LOPSA-East... (Ski, William) ==<br />
* People don't read their emails or LOPSAgram. People on IRC wanted to go, but didn't know about it.<br />
* Corporate registrants pulled out<br />
* Hotel charge $20k to cancel outright, $15k if we commit to next year<br />
* Why this hotel?<br />
** Perfect location for East Coast - transit from Philly, NJ<br />
** Cheapest in area because we were a returning customer<br />
* A long discussion ensued: <br />
** The discussion was on why we (LOPSA) was being charged $20,000/$15,000 if we cancelled the conference. It was explained that to get the Lecture/Training rooms the Hotel had to have a guarantee of a cerain amount of rooms. Otherwise we would have to pay for the use of the rooms for the two days on top of the A/V costs and Food Costs. In the contract signed by LOPSA-NJ it was stated that there would be 150 rooms. When the conference was booked LOPSA-East/PICC had always had to increase the Block of rooms. The conference attendance was pushing the 150 attendee number so that number was within range.<br />
<br />
It was determined that the cancellation of LOPSA-East in 2015 was a big reason that the registrations did not come in as in the past. LOPSA-NJ followed what was done in the past with great success:<br />
*** Emailing Past attendees<br />
*** Notices in LOPSAGram<br />
*** Emails to Past Sponsors and instructors <br />
<br />
** William got the Keynote to accept $1 for payment which is a big savings.<br />
** There was a lack of support by prominent Sysadmins who have Taught and spoke at past conferences which did not help promote the event. The schedule of talks was good and diverse but it was not enough.<br />
** LOPSA had agreed to support LOPSA-NJ on this venture in the past as it has in the past and it came down to how does we minimize the damage of cancelling the conference a second year. The Hotel is holding us to the $20,000 guarantee for the rooms but agreed to drop that to $15,000 if we sign another contract for the following year. The board was in agreement that paying this amount was a big blow to the organization and that before we sign another contract we have to take a step back and review how we handle Conferences and Locals. The Board discussed at length who would have to pay the Hotel Bill. It is LOPSA's mission to educate educate the profession and CasITConf and LOPSA-East are two ways we do that. <br />
** The Board members expressed their commitment to support the Locals. All of the Board members did not like having to pay this money to the Hotel and the majority of the Board felt that LOPSA, not LOPSA-NJ should pay the amount. Although one Board member felt LOPS-NJ should pay the bill the majority of the board saw that an attempt that would do more harm to the organization. <br />
** At this point Ski put a motion to the board:<br />
<br />
MOTION: LOPSA pay $20,000 to the HYatt of New Brunswick for the guarantee room block for LOPSA-East due to the cancellation.<br />
George seconded that motion.<br />
<br />
There was a voice vote with 7 For and 1 against. Atom had to leave before the Motion.<br />
<br />
The motion carried.<br />
<br />
** At this point Ski stated he would get Warner at the next meeting to discuss some points on conferences and our next plan of action.<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 />
== Committee reports ==<br />
=== Conferences/Events/Chapters activities report (Bilancio, Powers) ===<br />
LOPSA-East is moving along slowly. William asked the board to spread the word wherever possible. He stated that he pared down a lot of the costs and the Keynote speaker has asked for only a $1 and no reimbursement for travel on the train from New York. We need at least 80 more registrantsto bring us to 120 registrants to get us or we will not meet the requirement for the Hotel and we will have to cancel. The schedule is set but no responses.<br />
<br />
Locals are about the same.<br />
<br />
Atom asked if William reached out to local Colleges and schools. William stated he is using the list he has used for years nit no responses.<br />
<br />
Ski asked about the Early bird and William stated it ended April 1st and was extended. He is thinking about having a special discount for Tax day. <br />
<br />
==== Casitconf 2016 ====<br />
<br />
There are still some after-conference tasks pending.<br />
* About $1800 waiting to be paid from Bellingham College as soon as we can provide documentation that we are a non-profit.<br />
* Have trainers received their payment?<br />
* Expense reports for the conference, is there a form we use? What is the process?<br />
* We have received only two expense reports, have those been paid?<br />
<br />
<br />
William advised Atom that expense reports will be coming in for about a month as the trainers are usually slow in replying. He suggested using a due date in the future.<br />
==== Lisa'16 (Kacoroski, Uphill) ====<br />
Yerkes Award<br />
Check on swag for conferences and LISA '16 and anything else.<br />
=== Sysadmin Day 2016 July 29, 2016 ===<br />
http://sysadminday.com/<br />
* (Boris) I suggest we send an email to our sponsors and other potential sponsors and ask them about sponsoring an activity for Sysadmin Day with one of our Local Chapters. If the Local does it they run into the problem of handling Money. Matt Simmons had this issue in Boston when he just asked and ended up with a lot of money and the company needed some Tax IDs so if they donate to us just for Sysadmin day say in Washington or Lawrenceville, Eastern Tennessee, Ohio etc then we can handle the funds and let the local in that are run the event. Events can be Happy Hours, meet ups where we supply food or give-a-ways.<br />
* Need to send something to the people sysadmin day.com, they want a logo and we need to decide how we will work with them.... The people at sysadminday.com asked for a link from our site to theirs. Thomas will work on the link.<br />
* Whatever we decide to do it should be in the May LOPSAgram.<br />
* Please send any suggestions to Thomas or John<br />
* Thomas suggested another contest but a little different.<br />
* Atom suggested people nominate their favorite sysadmin. Ski suggested we could speak to our sponsors for something to award them.<br />
=== Education (Kacoroski, Boris)===<br />
No Report<br />
=== Speakers Bureau (Powers, English)===<br />
No Report<br />
=== Marketing/Communications (LOPSAgram, #lopsa-live, etc) (English, Uphill) ===<br />
* Any last minute additions for LOPSAgram? Will go out tomorrow<br />
<br />
=== Technical Services Report (Beech, VanDevender) ===<br />
The team has been clearing out lists. They were working on some security issues. William suggested the team speak to greppy and make sure he can work with Wild Apricot.<br />
=== Mentorship Report (Boris, Beech) ===<br />
The system is still broke and John will touch base with George again to check on the list as some people are replying but nothing is going. <br />
=== Recognition (Uphill, Disney) ===<br />
Sysadmin day will be the next thing. Then the Yerkes Award. We should start looking for recipients of that award.<br />
=== Leadership Committee (Warner, Kacoroski) ===<br />
Warner is looking for people to participate and help out. If you know of anyone, please ask them to help our Warner. I have provided him access to our membership database so he can verify folks meet the criteria to be on the board. Ski asked if anyone knew someone please send it to Warner so he can contact them.<br />
<br />
== Community Manager... (Ski) ==<br />
Top applicant decided to take a different position. I am reviewing the others and plan to contact them this week.<br />
<br />
== Elections and New Board ==<br />
With Matt not running for re-election people should start thinking about who will be new treasurer and also Secretary.<br />
== LINUXFest ==<br />
* We have a table at LINUXfest and Paul will take the banners there for the table.<br />
* Paul will be speaking.<br />
== Adjournment ==<br />
''Thomas'' Motioned for 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 />

<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 />

** PayPal Account: $36,464.35<br />
** TDBank: $2,001.53<br />
** <b>Total:</b> $87,019.47<br />
*** +/- from last report: $25,610.46<br />
*** <b>LOPSA Balance: $51,165.98 </b><br />
*** CasITConf Balance: $35,853.49<br />
<br />
* Summary of expenditures since last report: <br />
** Budgeted operations <br />
* Summary of income since last report:<br />
** Membership dues<br />
** Cascadia 2016 Registrations and Sponsorships<br />
<br />
* Cascadia summary and questions:<br />
** Starting balance for 2016: $5,918.39<br />
** Cleared registration income (66 registrants?): $27,497.95<br />
** Cleared sponsorships: $2,437.15<br />
** Expected expenses: $29,126 (apowers)<br />
*** Pending expense reports and payment to teachers (apowers)<br />
** Gap in registrants and cleared payments?<br />
*** About 12 students will be paid for by the school district when invoiced (apowers)<br />
** Were the Square transactions in Feb and Mar recorded in WildApricot?<br />
<br />
* Top priorities<br />
** CasITConf accounts payable<br />
** EIN for LOPSA East<br />
** Transition bank accounts <br />
** 2014 990<br />
** Assuming HootSuite charges<br />
** Finances committee charter<br />
** Locals financial management<br />
<br />
* Comments:<br />
** We are currently paying both $178 monthly for our web hosting/colo and $130 for WildApricot. When do we expect these costs to decrease?<br />
* Matt stated that we are doing good. CasITConf is doing well and some registrations need to be cleared up. Matt, Atom and Ski discussed the reconciliation of sponsorships and registrations that were not matching up between Square and Wild Apricot. <br />
* Atom has to get expenses from Teachers to Matt for CasITConf. Atom wants to send Welcome emails to all new members.<br />
* Matt stated that the money from CasITConf has to be marked correctly for tracking purposes.<br />
=== Membership report (VanDevender, Bilancio) ===<br />
* Total active members: 624 (previous report: 661, change: -37)<br />
<br />
* Paying: 402 (13 new in last 30 days)<br />
<br />
* Non-paying: 222 (19 new in last 30 days)<br />
<br />
Paying members include Individual, Charter, Founding, and Lifetime memberships. Non-paying members include Student and Complimentary memberships.<br />
<br />
The drop in paying members probably corresponds to expiring Cascadia 2015 members from last year.<br />
<br />
Let's try to get the Cascadia 2016 member import going as soon as we can (ideally before the grace period for members added from Cascadia 2015 runs out). Do we have an attendee list? Do I need to work out how to extract the information from Wild Apricot?<br />
*Steve and ATom discussed the attendee list.<br />
* Ski spoke about the bulk membership by Sony. The Invoice has been sent and is waiting for payment.<br />
== Committee reports ==<br />
=== Conferences/Events/Chapters activities report (Bilancio, Powers) ===<br />
We need to do a LOPSA Local "inventory" to find out who is still meeting and if they want to stay as LOPSA Locals and what their plans are for the future. (BIlancio)<br />
<br />
* Cascadia plans to purchase three video cameras for the conference next year. Should these be LOPSA cameras that can be used by LOPSA East? (apowers)<br />
** A short discussion on cameras and needed accessories followed. John recommended that an extra Microphone is needed to pick up the audio. <br />
* John spoke on LOPSA-East that the break even attendee number is 60. LOPSA-East is using Eventbrit and not WildApricot. John suggested that a Policy be developed that will govern the Conferences held by the Locals.<br />
* A Cascadia Attendee approached Ski about a local in Kentucky. The attendee was from Louisville and Matt asked to have the information sent to him so he could help him get started.<br />
<br />
=== Education (Kacoroski, Boris)===<br />
Nothing to report<br />
<br />
=== Speakers Bureau (Powers, English)===<br />
<br />
This has become one of my priorities before CasITConf 2017. (apowers)<br />
<br />
Ideas to make this work? What do we provide:<br />
* a place for people to register their interest in speaking. In return we would contact them about CfPs & Locals<br />
* a middle-man for conferences to contact about their CfPs<br />
* coaching (ie: basically mentoring) for speakers<br />
* topic ideas<br />
* John suggested that a request go out to the locals for contacts of their past speakers to see if those speakers want to be on the speakers list.<br />
* Thomas asked if there was any room in the budget for an enticement for speakers with some type of rembursement for speakers. A short discussion followed on speakers. Thomas stated that the possible local in Kentucky may need help and we might be able to help. Ski stated that it would be on a case by case basis<br />
=== Marketing/Communications (LOPSAgram, #lopsa-live, etc) (English, Uphill) ===<br />
<br />
(Ski): Adam Boulware offered to set up a process where people can post to blogs.lopsa.org, pick the category sysadmin-news, and the post will show up on our front page under System Admin News. This will help to keep new content on our main website. I have provided him the credentials to the wordpress site and hopefully this will be working by the next LOPSAgram.<br />
* John asked if that setup could work for the jobs maillist.<br />
* John asked Paul if he setup anything for Hootsuite to send out notices for CasITConf. John will setup a spreadsheet of items for LOPSA-East and get that to Paul. Paul stated he had an email from William on this so John agreed to get with WIlliam and develop the spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
(Paul): I missed Warner's election announcement in the LOPSAgram - we need to promote this, so I'll put it out via HootSuite (Twitter at least), and on the front page?<br />
<br />
=== Technical Services Report (Beech, VanDevender) ===<br />
No report<br />
=== Mentorship Report (Boris, Beech) ===<br />
George did get the api working and it looks like the mentor requests are going out. John will get with George on some other tweaks of the API to see if all parts of the automation are working.<br />
=== Recognition (Uphill, Disney) ===<br />
Sysadmin day is coming up.<br />
=== Leadership Committee (Warner, Kacoroski) ===<br />
Warner has started reaching out to folks and plans an email to all members soon on elections.<br />
<br />
=== Sysadmin Day July 29 2016 ===<br />
<br />
== SAGE-AU... (Ski) ==<br />
Mike Ciavarella is now a member of the SAGE-AU board and he reached out to me wondering if there are ways that we can work more closely together and perhaps formalize our ties a bit more. So what are your thoughts on how we could coordinate more with SAGE-AU? A short discussion followed on SAGE-AU. Ski will start an email thread on this to gather ideas.<br />
<br />
== LISA SIG... (Ski) ==<br />
USENIX announced here (https://www.usenix.org/blog/refocusing-lisa-community) that they will be shutting down the LISA SIG. What is the impact on LOPSA? What should LOPSA do about it? I feel we should make some statement on our website and to our members about it (perhaps in concert with SAGE AU). Thoughts?<br />
* Setup website for materials?<br />
== Community Manager... (Ski) ==<br />
I have reworked the position announcement a bit. I plan to post it this week to craiglist in Seattle and Portland.<br />
* Matt asked about how to handle being an employer. John stated he will ask about 1099 requirements. <br />
* If we keep it a 1099 then we don't have to handle Social Security and other taxes.<br />
* Ski suggested Matt discuss this with an accountant about it.<br />
* John will ask at work how they handle this and basic requirements.<br />
* It was suggested we contract with the person and handle it as a consultant.<br />
<br />
== CasITConf Retrospective (Atom) ==<br />
<br />
===Good===<br />
* It felt like a successful conference. We had more attendees than last year and received more compliments than criticism during the conference. <br />
* I expect a net surplus of about $5k this year.<br />
* Some talks were recorded, which will help expand awareness of CasITConf and LOPSA when they can be published.<br />
<br />
===Bad===<br />
* This was a bad year for the volunteers.<br />
** I, Atom, was extremely late in getting the conference together, which created a lot more stress on everybody involved.<br />
** Paul was too busy with $dayjob<br />
** Thomas was unclear on his responsibilities.<br />
* Videographers did not behave as expect. I expected three videographers with three cameras in three rooms. We had three videographers with one camera.<br />
* We would have crashed if not for Ski's heroism. Again. He brought in about 30% of the attendees and at least 50% of the sponsors.<br />
<br />
===Ugly===<br />
* About 30% of the attendees were students, who pay less than our per-person break-even cost. I believe having them is still better than not having them.<br />
* The catering was more expensive and of a lower quality than last year.<br />
* Several sponsors "abused" their registration by coming on Friday.<br />
* We have a critical shortage of volunteers. We will be losing Paul and we need at least 9 people to run the conference (3 chairs, 3 under-chairs, and 3 booth-volunteers).<br />
<br />
===Learnings===<br />
* We have a very low "bus factor" with Ski holding more than his share of effort. This has been a problem since at least when I started helping with CasITConf.<br />
* We don't have a solid task schedule and every year we miss some tasks or do them late.<br />
* We appear to have the kind of conference that people want to attend, but most people don't know about it. If we can market better we could double attendance.<br />
<br />
In addition to volunteer recruiting and task schedule creation I imagine three key projects for next year:<br />
====Participant Pipeline - The Speakers Bureau====<br />
This will help us generate speakers and trainers not just four CasITConf but within our industry as a whole.<br />
====Attendee Pipeline - Marketing====<br />
Our target audience are local tech companies and tech schools. We need to develop:<br />
* Communication templates that describe why people should come to CasITConf<br />
* Media lists of places to recruit attendees.<br />
====Location - Bellevue College(?)====<br />
If moving to Bellevue is logistically possible (catering, class conflicts, lodging, etc.) then this could help us reduce the cost of the conference and give us room to grow. <br />
Neither of these benefits are existing problems; we are not running a deficit and we don't have enough participants to expand our schedule. This is a lower priority.<br />
<br />
* John ask Paul if CasITconf ever saw the spreadsheet on running the conference. John will ask William for the link on that.<br />
<br />
* Thomas recommended the get the dates for next year so we can announce them at the other conferences.<br />
* Ski asked Thomas to check into Bellevue College for CasITConf next year.<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 />

=== Mentorship Report (Boris, Beech) ===<br />
[Boris] George stated there is an issue with the Google script failing as we no longer use Civi. I have to be honest I have no idea about the automation part of mentorship. I took my role on this as a liaison between the team and the board. Once Amy and Simon dropped out Ed took over as chair and then his job got the best of him and it fell into Craigs lap. The LMPT was a member driven team that we need someone to chair again. I have a hard time with this because of work and another part of my life where I coach. Maybe it is burnout but I just can't get people together or for that matter find the time to even hold a meeting.<br />
<br />
[Beech] On the plus side I've fixed the bugs. 1) New automation script (running on my own server for now until I can get it on a LOPSA server) using the Wild Apricot API and 2) The google apps script was pointed to @lopsa.org for the mailing lists, instead of @lists.lopsa.org so things broke when we moved to gapps, and the listserv did not.<br />
<br />
Ski asked about documentation on the automation and George explained it is probably over documented in Google Docs. The documentation is located in the lopsa.org google docs in the mentorship directory<br />
<br />
Atom asked about migrated to a hosted service or does Wild Apricot support it. George doesn't think it can be ported to Wild Apricot as it is a workflow tool. George will look further into it.<br />
<br />
Paul asked about the people in the queue who might have been waiting and if they should be notified. Paul suggested that an email to all those in the queue might be a good idea to let them know there has been a glitch and we are working to fix it. George did push a few through and will look through the queue and try to get the queue clear.<br />
<br />
=== Recognition (Uphill, Disney) ===<br />
no report<br />
=== Leadership Committee (Warner, Kacoroski) ===<br />
Ski will be talking to Warner and asked the Board to let him and Warner know of any possible candidates.<br />
<br />
== Chapter Support... (Ski) ==<br />
We have been having a great discussion online about chapter support. Questions that have come up are:<br />
<br />
* How should we support chapters - swag, speaker resources, paying for facilities and equipment, meetup fees, etc.<br />
** [Boris] I don't support blanket statements or payments for equipment/facilities. The meetup fee where we have a meetup account and they can have a portion of it is a good thing. Handling of finances for them is another. Startup loans to run conferences. Also giving some funds for events like Sysadmin day, Chapter anniversary dates etc. <br />
* Should we guarantee a minimum number of $$$ for each chapter to spend as they want, if yes does this require a separate line item in the budget<br />
** [Boris] As stated above we should not put any $$$ amounts or percentages for them to spend as they want. We have just got out of debt so lets not be like a lottery winner. But putting a $$$ amount for contingency for short term. Example he Local has a sponsor that funds them to have a nice venue with a/V and the sponsor leaves in a lurch maybe a one month aid and set the limit to an annual amount for such a case.<br />
* Should we give back to chapters a percentage of dues that the chapter's LOPSA members pay<br />
** [Boris] No we already do this with what we do with USNIX discounts and other discounts a member may get from a sponsor. On this do we still get the free O'Reilly book per month/year?<br />
<br />
* Overall Comments<br />
** [Steve] Steve is supportive of supporting our chapters especially when an emergency comes up. He is for coming up with some type of formula for doing financial support<br />
** [Atom] Atom is for associating the type of support for chapters to the number of LOPSA Members in the chapter. He supports the idea of giving non monetary support but we don't have the resources for that. Maybe providing a stipend or buying equipment.<br />
<br />
[Paul] Paul agree with Atom's comment about associating the type of support for chapters to the number of LOPSA Members in the chapter. Also it is worth funding stat up or struggling chapters as long as they have a certain number of LOPSA members that are dedicated to improving and bettering that chapter. <br />
<br />
[George] George agrees with some type of monetary support for locals. Also he feels that we should have a plan as to help to start up a local where it spells out we will do X,Y and/or Z to get started. But there would not be an automatic payment. The idea of providing equipment is a good idea and just pouring money into a local is not the best route to take but helping them bring more members in is what we should be doing. As to making it mandatory for a person to be a LOPSA member to attend a meeting is the wrong approach but to tell them that if you have x amount of LOPSA members we will expend x amount of funds. This might be a good incentive for the Local to gain more members. <br />
<br />
[Atom} Maybe a tiered membership dues might be a legal quagmire. Maybe helping a local get connected to a sponsor would be a help.<br />
<br />
[George} Some local groups charge a higher amount where some money goes to the national and the rest stays locally and then we would handle their finds if they want. <br />
<br />
There is a consensus that some type of monetary support should be developed for the chapters but the mechanism and criteria for that needs to be developed. We will also handle each case on its own merits until we can develop a procedure that is fair and equitable.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Corporate Meetup Account... (Ski/George) ==<br />
George had the idea that we should get a corporate meetup account that all our chapters can use. Cost would be $180/yr.<br />
* [Boris] I am for this<br />
* [George] He looked into the Meetup Pro and it looks like i is for organizations like ours. He is waiting to hear back from them and hopefully it will allow us to assign sub accounts under ours for the Locals to use. When he hears back he will inform the board.<br />
<br />
Ski will put together a plan for review on how we will deal with locals and then when approved it will be published. Some of the items in the plan will be turned into a formal policy.<br />
<br />
== DC Chapter... (Ski) ==<br />
Discuss the email from Roger about difficulties he is having keeping the DC/Baltimore chapter going and what we can do about it.<br />
<br />
<br />
* Ski suggested we sponsor that chapter for a few months to help Roger get the group back moving. <br />
* Ski will notify ROger he will send out a blast to look for a speaker for them.<br />
* George suggested we get back with him to see what he actually needs from us.<br />
== Community Manager... (Ski) ==<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: At this point of the meeting Atom had to leave so discussion continued but the Board can't act on anything as the quorum was lost on Atom's exit. Any motions needed will be entered here but voting and discussion on the motion will be held in Email'''<br />
<br />
I have sent out the community manager ad to everyone in email. I feel we need to make the change from a totally volunteer organization to a group that has some staff responsible for making sure things are getting done as many items are getting dropped. I would like to place this ad on craigslist in areas where we have board members (Seattle, Portland, New York, Philadelphia, Knoxville).<br />
<br />
The consensus of the remaining board members was for this idea. The Community manager position is a big plus for the Board and for the Chapters.<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 />

Matt commented that the use of Wild Apricot although it is smoother it does not get tagged correctly. Although it is tagged in the Event report he still has to manually reconcile it with Quick Books. <br />

== Committee reports ==<br />
=== Conferences/Events/Chapters activities report (Bilancio, Powers) ===<br />
==== LOPSA-East ====<br />
LOPSA-East's schedule is being put together this week and the registration will open February 15/16. They are waiting to hear back from a few trainers and have a lead for a Keynote speaker.<br />
==== Cascadia ====<br />
Cascadia is into their first week of registration and it is a slow start. Atom will be emailing the past attendees. William suggested that Atom do a mass mailing to all members on the West Coast as it worked very well in the past for PICC/LOPSA-East.<br />
<br />
==== Chapters ====<br />
William will be reaching out to the East Coast chapters if they want to be on the LOPSA-East page and give them a discount code (Usually 10%)<br />
<br />
Paul will see about sending something out to SAASAG.<br />
<br />
Ski asked Paul to load up the Tweets to go out about the conference.<br />
<br />
Paul responded to a question of bulk registering people for Cascadia and he pointed them to Wild Apricot but for now it has to be one at a time.<br />
<br />
William explained it is a trade off where we get to use their mailing list in trade for the discount. <br />

* Paul asked William to send him what he wants for LOPSA-East so he can load up Hootsuite.<br />
* Ski spoke about the Passler advertisemnt as to text only or adding graphics. Paul will look into it and the Ads are to the bottom but he thinks he can use a logo if they get it to us.<br />

== 2016 Budget... (Ski/Matt) ==<br />

<br />
The budget submitted does not include the locals and is for operations. <br />
<br />
A discussion ensued with the following comments:<br />
* George commented that budget for the annual meeting be bumped a bit higher. The consensus was in agreement and it was raised $1,000. Thomas asked why it was so much more from years past. Reason being more board members traveled to the West coast than before when it was on the East coast and more of the travelers were reimbursed for their expenses. <br />
* Thomas asked what the "Other Column" was for. This is a contingency fund for items that are not budgeted for that may arise after the budget is approved. Matt recommended that that item be changed to Contingency for clarity.<br />
* Ski gave an explanation of the line items.<br />
** Income covers <br />
*** Membership (approximated at $45 per member)<br />
*** Sponsorships (Individual and Corporate)<br />
** Fixed expenses <br />
*** Adminsitration<br />
*** Insurance<br />
*** Annual Meeting<br />
*** Website hosting (may drop if we go to Dreamhost)<br />
*** Admin Staff (Part time assistant to handle Office duties, Event assistance etc)<br />
* Ski explained how the percentage of our income minus our fixed costs and then broke it down by percentages for each area. There would also be a 20%-25% hold over of fund for the following year. There would be an annual report then at the Town Hall Meeting at LISA explaining where the money is spent for the members and where it will be spent in the upcoming year.<br />
* The conferences are not in this budget as it is for LOPSA and the conferences fund themselves and we only get the membership dues from them.<br />
<br />
'''MOTION by Ski'''<br />
The 2016 Budget as presented by Matt Disney be accepted.<br />
<br />
Seconded by William.<br />
<br />
The motion passed unanimously <br />
*Thomas asked a question after the vote concerning the $10,000 for MArketing. He wanted to know if this was a hard figure or are we still researching this. Ski explained we are still researching the Marketing and Re-branding of LOPSA and this amount may be broken up for MArketing/Advertisement/Re-Branding based on the outcome of our research.<br />

Paul asked if LOPSA could manage the Domain Name for SASAG. Also possibly handle other financials for the Locals. Matt agreed it should be revisited that we handle the financials for the locals. Matt and Paul will discuss this and bring back to the board a plan.<br />

CasIT Conf is on schedule. Atom is double checking and it looks god to start the registration.<br />
<br />
Ski asked about a student registration for Friday. Ski stated he could setup the student registration and Atom agreed. Ski informed the board that CasITconf will be using Wild Apricot to handle the registrations which would save almost $20 per user.<br />
<br />
Ski reported on sCale and said he signed up 6 new members at the booth and was able to scan their badges which he will put into Wild Apricot.<br />
<br />
LOPSA-East will open Registration on February 15th.<br />

* Ski mentioned to Paul and Atom about some sponsors that want to get involved with CasITconf.<br />
* John asked about the Blogs site being mentioned in the LOPSAGram. Paul stated it was in there but will look to add another mention. Ski stated one member contacted him about a login for that and he took care of it.<br />
<br />
=== Technical Services Report (Beech, VanDevender) ===<br />
Dan working on moving us to Dreamhost from ServerBeach this could save us up to $2,000 per year which might offset the new cost for Wild Apricot. Paul mentioned once the move is complete he will take the Server Beach acknowledgement off the Lopsagram.<br />
<br />
=== Mentorship Report (Boris, Beech) ===<br />
No Report<br />
<br />
=== Recognition (Uphill, Disney) ===<br />
<br />
=== Leadership Committee (Warner, Kacoroski) ===<br />
Nothing to report<br />
<br />
=== Results of Branding Conference Call (Boris,Kacoroski) ===<br />
* The call went very well. The consultant was Emma O'Brien http://emmaobrien.allyou.net.<br />
Ski and George were on the call. A summary of the call is on the Board's Google Docs for review. She confirmed that we were doing the correct thing with the new web site and we need to just do some more word smithing to the site to make sure people know our mission and what we stand for. We should get together and focus where we are going and then get back to her if we think we need her help. She firmed up our conversations at the Face to Face. We are basically in the middle of a branding or marketing person needs. After the talk it looks like we should pare down our projects even more. After the talk it looks as premature to go with a consultant.<br />
* Ski and George thought the call went well and that we should focus a bit more and then at that point get someone back in to help us develop our plan.<br />
* A suggestion from the talk came that we have a lot of content but it is hidden. Maybe even putting a section for free items or advice that would make people come back to the site and then make the decision to become a member.<br />
<br />
== Building Communities (Jessica Hilt)... (Ski) ==<br />
https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa15/conference-program/presentation/hilt<br />
<br />
High points from her talk are:<br />
* Communities are: Peers (work group), Interrelated Peers (various depts at work), User Groups (varying degrees of interest/commitment for a purpose)<br />
* Communities are not tools like Facebook, Google+, Slack, etc.<br />
* Communities do well when we all work together, this is why communities like LOPSA are important<br />
* Community properties:<br />
** Education/Evaluation: are we focused on the right thing - ask folks about our focus, provide help to others, check on products and avoid reinventing the wheel<br />
** Socialization/Promotion: networking with peers to spread information to others, key is that folks have positive interaction with community - they want to participate<br />
** Inspiration: create opportunities for people to do things they would not normally do (help out at booth)<br />
* Creating a community<br />
** Identify the need (who, how specific, what)- create a venn diagram<br />
** Recruitment - find extroverts, people who see a specific need, complainers who you can give a way to fix their problem<br />
** Organization - Need to find tool (facebook, irc, etc) that works for the group.<br />
** Find specific tasks to match up with talent you have - people want a role and want to be part of something bigger than themselves<br />
* Problems<br />
** Need to set rules and enforce them (zero BOFH tolerance, no dumb answers, recruit experts to help others like mentorship)<br />
** Newbie - Beginner - Intermediate - Experts (many folks drop out at the intermediate stage.<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 />

=== Membership report (VanDevender, Bilancio) ===<br />
Total active members: 665 (previous report: 634, change: +31)<br />
<br />
Paying: 457 (3 new in last 30 days)<br />
<br />
Non-paying: 208 (19 new in last 30 days)<br />
<br />
Paying members include Individual, Charter, Founding, and Lifetime memberships. Non-paying members include Student and Complimentary memberships.<br />
<br />
We should make sure our existing policy to request proof of student status is reflected on the Wild Apricot membership page, and checked for student applications. For the time being I am just accepting the new student applications. We previously have requested a scan of student ID for proof, so this should be indicated on the membership page. Should we have them send this to board@lopsa.org, or some other address?<br />
<br />
Steve is recommending that Student applicants send proof of Student status be sent to membership@lopsa.org. Ski will update the website to reflect this.<br />
<br />
Atom asked about the membership numbers and their accuracy. Steve explained the new numbers are based on the numbers from the last report.<br />
<br />
== Committee reports ==<br />
=== Conferences/Events/Chapters activities report (Bilancio, Powers) ===<br />
<br />
==== CasITConf ====<br />
The venue has something "important" to discuss with me. I suspect a scheduling conflict but as of Sunday evening I don't know the details. Need to get this figured out before publishing the schedule.<br />
<br />
The schedule is selected. Pending venue confirmation and confirmation from presenters. We have as full a schedule as we did in 2014, with one room reserved and unscheduled on Friday. We can keep this room available for sponsored tutorials or as a quite study room.<br />
<br />
Logo on the web page is updated. Logo images and font files are in the shared Google-drive.<br />
<br />
Talks/Tutorials selection committee met, agreed on content.<br />
<br />
==== LOPSA East ====<br />
The CFP is out there and closes ends January 18th. January 27th the schedule is due. Registration should be open February 15th. William will send out the request again. Ski asked about Cumulo sponsoring LOPSA-East and William is waiting to hear back. <br />
<br />
==== SCale ====<br />
We are all set with a table and volunteers to man the table. Ski will get gifts for the volunteers.<br />
<br />
=== Education (Kacoroski, Boris)===<br />
* Nothing to report<br />
<br />
=== Speakers Bureau (Powers, English)===<br />
<br />
No Activity. I, apowers, still believe that this can provide value and it is a lower priority than CasITConf.<br />
<br />
=== Marketing/Communications (LOPSAgram, #lopsa-live, etc) (English, Uphill) ===<br />
<br />
* Still putting together LOPSAgram - expect to send it out tonight. We have very little content - no Chapter news, nothing to say about conferences. Paul will do write ups for LOPSA East and CasIT for sponsors. William will send Paul something for LOPSA-East.<br />
<br />
Hootsuite is status quo.<br />
<br />
=== Technical Services Report (Beech, VanDevender) ===<br />
Nothing to report<br />
<br />
=== Mentorship Report (Boris, Beech) ===<br />
no report<br />
<br />
Paul reminded the Board that most of the people he has spoke to at Segull (sp?) was about mentorship.<br />
<br />
George recommended that some type of blurb about mentorship be each LOPSAGram. The consensus was that we don;t want the blurb to be come background noise and if we do it each edition it should be changed up a bit. 58% of the recipients opened the LOPSAGram and 5% clicked on a link in the LOPSAGram which is a good number.<br />
<br />
=== Recognition (Uphill, Disney) ===<br />
No update here.<br />
=== Leadership Committee (Warner, Kacoroski) ===<br />
* Nothing to report<br />
<br />
=== Re-Branding of LOPSA (Boris)===<br />
<br />
I spoke to a Branding/Marketing Consultant who assisted in the re-branding of my work. Emma O'Brien , emmaobrien.allyou.net. This was an initial talk to see if she is the correct person to speak to. This came about from the last meeting where the SASAG group spoke about Recognition and Certification which boiled down to what weight does any of that have with LOPSA's name on it. I took on the task to seek out a professional in that area. <br />
* in my conversation with her I explained who we are and what we do. I explained a few ventures we have made and how are big issue is getting people to recognize who we are and get our Brand out there. <br />
* Emma is a Branding specialist and secondly a marketing specialist. Here are her comments:<br />
* She stated that Branding comes first and then marketing. We can’t drive people to our web site and then not have enough information on the web site to make them say “Yes I will pay my money.”<br />
*She reviewed the site and in her mind it just needs some tweaking and word smithing. <br />
* She is a consultant and would charge by the hour. $200/hr<br />
* The process would be a discovery session to make sure we are all on the same page.<br />
* We need to decide what we want to budget for this process and she would see what she can do for that.<br />
* She would use surveys and emails to get a sense of what our members and ex members think of the organization and want from the organization instead of the more expensive focus groups and face to face meetings.<br />
* She said we are making good decisions by the new web site and even reaching out to a professional to help move to the next level.<br />
* She said our efforts in the LOPSAGram, Facebook, Twitter and other social media is a good step but that brings it back to the Branding issue.<br />
* She says it is like the chicken and Egg scenario. We want more members so we have to prove to new members we have value but the ones we have we have to continue to show them value. But that is the reason to speak to a professional.<br />
<br />
The next step would be for us to look at our budget and decide what we will want to put toward this and then set up a conference call with Emma (or zoom session) to discuss a bit further what we are looking for so she can come back and give us a proposal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ski commented on two areas where we may need to spend money. Branding and Back Office. <br />
<br />
Atom was more for creating new content.<br />
<br />
John stated that form a consultant like this we may find out what new content we need.<br />
<br />
Thomas agreed with the idea of Chicken/Egg.<br />
<br />
William agreed we meet with her and then come back to the board with the outcome as to what we will be paying for and what we can expect.<br />
<br />
John will set up a Doodle for a conference call (Zoom Session)for the Board and Emma to discuss the next step. The board was asked to get anything special they would want in the email to the consultant before he emails her.<br />
<br />
== 2016 Budget... (SKI) ==<br />
The 2015 budget worksheet is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pbffWaGGOTKbqP0ETQSdBW2RyXmsSJPWCRVkz67lmo0/edit#gid=0. If you look at this you can see the following:<br />
* fixed expenses are roughly around $9K plus another $8K for an Admin Assistant that we did not spend<br />
* $40K in the bank <br />
* conservative guess of our income in 2016 will be around $30K (memberships is 20K, sponsors are 10K)<br />
<br />
This means that we have $75K to spend and $17K in expenses which leaves us with $58K to figure out how to spend. I propose the following guidelines:<br />
<br />
* Reserve 1 years worth of fixed expenses (e.g. $17) as a rainy day fund<br />
* With the remaining $41K spend it as:<br />
** 50% for member education and training ($20K)<br />
** 25% for scholarships ($10K)<br />
** 25% for marketing ($10K)<br />
<br />
<br />
A discussion on the budget and amounts followed. The consensus was for this as a start and the board should make sure we have the correct amount put aside for one year to the next.<br />
<br />
Ski and Matt will work up some numbers for a preliminary budget. Our fiscal year runs from January 1 to December 31.<br />
<br />
== Feeding and Care of Community... (Ski) ==<br />
Just wanted to put this here as a placeholder. I think we already have a full agenda, but wanted to get people to look at her presentation and be ready to talk about it next time.<br />

<br />
== Ads On Stack Exchange (Beech) ==<br />
I've talked to the guys on the Ads team here. Below you'll find the Rate card for 2016, and they can give us a 15% discount. The rate we are concerned with is "Run of Site" This would allow us to build a campaign to run on SF, U&L and DBA. They will work with us to define a campaign to maximize our budget. <br />
<br />
If we go ahead with the marketing/branding person I would suggest waiting until after we work with her to run a campaign.<br />
<br />
<br />
Paul: I request we work in advertising for our conferences if we're going to the effort of putting ads out there.<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 />

== Committee reports ==<br />
=== Conferences/Events/Chapters activities report (Bilancio, Powers) ===<br />
Cascadia has about 19 proposals and William spoke to Tom Limoncelli which helped.<br />
<br />
LOPSA-East has met with Pager Duty and they are working out a sponsorship.<br />
Ski will be down at sCale. William will be sending stickers to Ski. <br />
William will check on business cards. <br />

Ski and John have to get together<br />
<br />

Nothing to report<br />
<br />
=== Marketing/Communications (LOPSAgram, #lopsa-live, etc) (English, Uphill) ===<br />
* LOPSAgram<br />
** first one using WildApricot in December<br />
** Systems seems relatively similar to Civi in capabilities, with the added bonus of well designed templates for better layout and basic graphics. <br />
** December LOPSAgram was one of the most basic templates. <br />
** Paul will take a swing at a template to incorporate the LOPSA logo and color for January and send it for review in the last week of December. We could (presumably) have a professional design an even better one.<br />
* Hootsuite<br />
** Still needs work to get maximum value <br />
** accidentally paid $197.18 for 1 year on Paul's credit card. Will just expense it, but should still get LOPSA card into account instead<br />
** Working on LinkedIn connection<br />
* Cumulo is interested in Cascadia and maybe more. <br />
=== Technical Services Report (Beech, VanDevender) ===<br />
Need to setup meetings (honestly probably after the holidays) to catch up with the team.<br />
<br />
=== Mentorship Report (Boris, Beech) ===<br />
I have not met with the core team members. I will try to setup a meeting again to get with the Core team members and the Automation team members to get back to a common starting point.<br />

=== Recognition (Uphill, Disney) ===<br />
Nothing to report<br />
=== Leadership Committee (Warner, Kacoroski) ===<br />
We've had a couple interested candidates reach out, so promising results <br />
from LISA.<br />
<br />
Matt reported that he hasn't tested or worked out the new tech stuff <br />
with the elections but it sounds like he hasn't outright quit, so that's <br />
good.<br />
<br />
Outside of that, there's no major pushes right now.<br />
<br />
Happy holidays from the LC!<br />
<br />
William asked who was up for re-election: John Boris, George Beech, Steve VanDevender and Matt Disney<br />

=== LOPSA Recognition Program -- From SASAG (Uphill) ===<br />
* SASAG had a discussion about the LPR program and certification. The feeling was divided on having a recognition/Certification program. Lee spoke up at that meeting stating early on this was brought up and the effort fell flat and never materialized. There is a push from some of the members to have such a program but back then it was a big time sink and noone could come up with a good plan as to what you are certifying for.<br />
<br />
* Paul mentioned that it was mentioned to look into Mozilla Badges. That it was something we could affiliate ourselves to. A comment from SASAG is that the value of such a certification/recognition would not be of much value. It might have value for certain areas but in highly specific areas it would be hard for us to develop certifications.<br />
<br />
* Thomas and Ski mentioned Truability. William mentioned his work had used it but could never get a good response from it.<br />
<br />
* William brought up that before we go the certification route we have to get our Brand out there and Market ourselves.<br />
<br />
* Thomas mentioned that we could go through some of the certifications that are out there and recognize those certifications.<br />
<br />
* John stated the initial reason of the LPR was to recognize those sysadmins that were out there striving to keep up on their field and learning. <br />
<br />
* A consensus of the board felt that a list of certification list would be good like "These certifications are what are looking for."<br />
<br />
* John spoke on the Brand issue that we have to get our name out there in different media and not just once but multiple times and not just at conferences.<br />
<br />
* Thomas pointed out we should advertise on places like Serverfault and Redditt and r/sysadmin. <br />
<br />
* Thomas will take it as an action item to create a list of certifications and then crowd source the list to rank them.<br />
<br />
* A consensus was to look for some help on Marketing and look for some marketing assistance.<br />
<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 />
== Member-Only Services (apowers) ==<br />
<br />
We want to encourage people to be members and many people won't become members unless they see value in what LOPSA does. It is difficult to show what we do when we only provide services to existing members.<br />
<br />
I propose that most LOPSA services should not be member-only services. By encouraging everybody to use our services we get increased participation and with increased participation we get increased publicity and eventually increased membership.<br />
<br />
I propose that any member-only services we have must have a good reason for being member-only, such as a desire to review who participates in those activities.<br />
<br />
Possible Member-Only services:<br />
* Being a mentor.<br />
* Being a certified professional.<br />
* Managing a conference.<br />
* Managing a LOPSA branded local group.<br />
* Anybody representing LOPSA in any capacity.<br />
<br />
<br />
Suggested Anybody services:<br />
* Requesting a mentor.<br />
* Being a speaker.<br />
* Being in a local group.<br />
* Being on the mailing list or chat room.<br />
* Anybody consuming LOPSA services.<br />
<br />
A discussion on a requirement to managing a local or conference is that you had to be a member. This led to a discussion on services that require membership. A discussion followed on how to increase membership. The consensus of the discussion was the current funding model used by LOPSA needs to be reviewed while the services provided are reviewed. Matt gave an explanation of how the monies spent toward members for benefits get reported on the 990s.<br />
<br />
== Website... (Ski) ==<br />
Website is on schedule for LISA. Theme is picked out and evaluation website is ready for you to play with and learn about membership, administration, etc. The consultant will be upgrading the eval site over the next two weeks to match our branding guide and start migrating over content. I need to get the civi data extracted this week for them to work with. This will be a draft extract and I will do a final one before we go live. I am working on a detailed go live process. We will need to make our first monthly payment in a few weeks. I have asked the tech team to look for sponsored hosting of our current servers as they will be needed for mailman, wikis, wordpress blogs, and to keep the civi database up for at least a year or more for reference.<br />
<br />
There is a different price for contacts over 2,000 in the new web site. We have more than that in Civi. Ski is going to send an email to all contacts we have in Civi. This will raise the first month's charge for the new Website to $240. Then if people don't reply to the email saying they want to be members we will archive them off the system so they can be brought back if needed. Ski expects the the number of active contacts to drop below the 2,000 mark in the second month and thus reduce our bill.<br />
<br />
Paul asked if we would still have the data in some other format once we make the move for us to use later on if we choose to do so. Ski confirmed that.<br />
<br />
<br />
== LOPSA Swag (Ski) ==<br />
Ski asked Paul about the email he sent out about Swag. Paul stated it is worth it to spend some money toward these items. William reminded everyone that time is short before LISA so we have to decide quickly.<br />
<br />
Atom asked about Sweaters, Button Down shirts etc instead of T Shirts. William and George stated that the cost is a bit prohibitive for hand outs. The going rate for the button down shirts is in the $35 range. <br />
<br />
Ski and Paul will work out some ideas and get a mail thread started.<br />
<br />

''William'' Seconded</div>Jborishttps://governance.lopsa.org/index.php?title=Board_meeting_Minutes&diff=3186Board meeting Minutes2015-12-14T23:15:36Z<p>Jboris: /* 2015 */</p>
<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 />

== LOPSA mailing list policy (Atom) ==<br />
<br />
We need to have a policy around who can send what to the mailing list. Preferably a policy that encourages people to use our mailing list while limiting abuse and "free ride" uses. Is this something that falls under the Communications Committee?<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 />

=== Membership report (VanDevender, Bilancio) ===<br />
Wild Apricot provides different member reporting information than CiviCRM did, and I haven't figured out how to extract the information corresponding to our old report format.<br />
<br />
Here's a summary of the data currently reported in Wild Apricot:<br />
<br />
Active members: 649 (170 student, 4 complimentary)<br />
<br />
New members in last 30 days: 27 (9 student, 1 complimentary)<br />
<br />
The good news is that the active member numbers actually went up since last time (633 last month to 649 now), although that's mainly due to LISA and the mass-mailing to member contacts.<br />
<br />
Lapsed member statistics are probably not going to be useful until we do the cleanup of inactive records from the imported member database, which has 3124 total entries, most of which are effectively lapsed.<br />

A discussion was held on removing a member from all mailing lists and Wild Apricot per the members request.<br />
<br />
=== LISA Notes... (SKI) ===<br />
Discussion on ideas I got from LISA<br />
<br />
=== Website status (SKI) ===<br />
* lopsa.org has a cert and ski will be sending out emails to past sponsors and members that the cert is fixed. ski needs to verify emails come from lopsa.org and not lopsa.wildapricot.org<br />
* blogs.lopsa.org should be ready in 10 to 14 days. ski is working on extracting the blog posts so consultant can import them<br />
* ski needs to remove lisa banner from the website<br />
=== Complimentary memberships for conference speakers (stevev) ===<br />
I'd like to propose that LOPSA offer complimentary memberships to members who speak at Cascadia, LOPSA-East, or other conferences with a LOPSA presence (maybe also LISA?). There's been some inconsistency about how speakers are handled as conference attendees so we haven't always given them memberships based on their attendee status. Instead of having this depend on the conference policies, we could just make this a LOPSA policy independent of the conferences.<br />
* steve is going to work up a policy for conferences to give lopsa memberships to conference speakers and tutorial instructors.<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 />

Thomas stated we never got a confirmation about the reservations for the BoF. Ski recommended people talk to vendors that pass through their offices. Atom requested a list of vendors Ski has spoken with. He will provide a list. <br />
<br />
Ski asked for any other ideas about Trueability. Ski explained that Trueability runs online testing. Ski is going to speak to them to run some for us and people that pass will have their name put in a raffle for a prize. Atom suggested that The LINUX Foundation may have some tests. Atom will contact them to see if they can help out. John mentioned reading somewhere that the Linux Foundation was offering a free Chrome book for taking a course.<br />
<br />
A discussion ensued about various contests to hold for getting entries into the raffle besides showing up at the meeting. SOme ideas were Capture the flag, Loacate a Board member, Sacvenger hunts.<br />

Matt paid the deposit for the new website and development work has started. I should have a draft of it by the next board meeting and will keep the board updated with weekly progress reports. The plan is for it to go live by LISA 2015. Ski asked Paul to put something in the LOPSAGram about the new Web Site. Ski mentioned about placing Easter Eggs on the web site to get people looking around for them and then have a raffle for all that find them.<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 />

<br />
== Website... (Ski) ==<br />
I emailed a proposal out to everyone a few days ago. In summary the options are:<br />
# Do nothing - ($178/mo)<br />
# Starchapter - limited functionality ($899 setup, $100/mo + reduced cost on current hosting)<br />
# Wild Apricot - almost all functions we have now ($130/mo + reduced cost on current hosting)<br />
# Wild Apricot with Nicasio Designs - all functions we have now ($4500 - $6000 setup, $130/mo + reduced cost on current hosting)<br />
# Upgrade current site ($12000 - $30000 + $178/mo)<br />
<br />
Only options 1 - 4 can be done before LISA. I recommend option #4 as we do not have the resources to do the migration ourselves.<br />
<br />
== Committees... (Atom/Ski) ==<br />
We need to get these nailed down. I think Atom did a good job in defining what we really need to make LOPSA run. If folks agree we can approve this structure and assign folks to them. These can then be used in LOPSA's 2016 budget. Check out:<br />
<br />
https://board.lopsa.org/Committee_Proposal_2015#Committees<br />
<br />
For the Atom's proposal.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Yerkes Award... (Ski) ==<br />
I checked on discuss and one possible person. In reality though there are not many questions and answers there anymore. I think a better idea is to pick someone from serverfault as they have a system to rank folks and they have many folks who have been actively helping people online. For example Edmund White has posted over 400 answers to questions on Serverfault. Perhaps we could even get Serverfault to sponsor this award.<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 />

==== Lisa'15 (Kacoroski) ====<br />
*Thomas will setup a signup for working the table at LISA.<br />
*The discount code is up on LOPSA.org. $45 is the Member discount<br />
*Our table will be in the hallway as it was last year.<br />
*Ski will contact USENIX for holding the room for the Town Hall Meeting and the Mentorship BoF<br />

=== Communications (LOPSAgram, etc) (Kacoroski) ===<br />
* Paul trained on how to do LOPSAgram. Planning on driving the next one.<br />
* $45 LISA discount announcement sent out<br />
Pending work:<br />
* Budget for remaining 2015 (Paul & Ski talk offline)<br />
* comms-admin@lopsa.org to take ownership of HootSuite account<br />
* repair links between HootSuite and all social accounts (eg: LinkedIn currently broken?)<br />
* Tidy up social accounts (eg: Facebook "page" vs. "group")<br />
* Paul, Ski and Craig as members<br />
* 50% non-profit discount<br />
* more volunteers<br />
* research which additional social media would be helpful, particularly to reach younger sysadmins, or potential. Youtube? Pintrest? Instagram?<br />
* consider how to tie in locals and conferences (CasITConf has 500+ followers on Twitter)<br />
<br />
Proposals:<br />
* comms-announce@lopsa.org - Board members (or other Approved People) can get things announced "on all the media" just by sending email<br />
** It will speed up the turnaround time. <br />
* one board member per month (or more frequently) write a blog post about "LOPSA stuff" (ie: not a tech post) that we can push out for marketing and engagement<br />
** Can be about what you're working on as a board member, future, past, etc.<br />
** Atom recommended one board member per week which would only be once every 9 weeks for a board member.<br />
** rotate through Committees/strategy topics?<br />
** Thomas recommended we included #LOPSA when we do a post and have the Board members retweet it.<br />
* Paul wanted to keep this easy to do and possibly setup a schedule and reminder to nudge the Board member when their turn was coming up.<br />
* Ski will start to do a "From The President" one<br />

Warner has agreed to run the Leadership Committee and also has agreed to be on the Finance committee. Matt asked if the meeting with Warner on the finance committee was scheduled yet. Ski said the meeting was not and he will touch base with Warner to come up with a date.<br />
<br />
== Conference Sponsorships (Atom) ==<br />
Facts:<br />
* LOPSA East, Cascadia IT, and any other LOPSA conferences need sponsors.<br />
* These conferences are relatively small and may have difficulty attracting and keeping sponsors.<br />
* Without at least $10k in seed money it is nearly impossible to start a conference.<br />
<br />
Proposal:<br />
* LOPSA becomes a parent organization for regional conferences.<br />
* Each conference will create sponsor packages to be approved by the board.<br />
* All conference sponsors will be considered both conference sponsors and LOPSA sponsors.<br />
* All sponsors will remit payment directly to LOPSA.<br />
* Conference attendees will also remit payment directly to LOPSA.<br />
* LOPSA will assume financial responsibility for the conference.<br />
** This probably means LOPSA should be involved with and approve conference expenses, via the conference committee.<br />
<br />
Risks and Rewards:<br />
* If a conference doesn't "break even" LOPSA will be liable for those costs.<br />
** Should we investigate the possibility of a LOPSA subsidiary for this? One subsidiary per conference?<br />
* If LOPSA doesn't oversee conference expenses the risk that the conference doesn't "break even" increases.<br />
** Cascadia has no problem sharing this information and responsibility, does LOPSA East?<br />
* If a conference is profitable it benefits LOPSA as a whole and becomes a revenue stream.<br />
* Each conference gains the backing and support of a national organization, which may increase sponsors.<br />
* It may be possible to share sponsors between conferences, or at least solicit them for both.<br />
<br />
P.S.<br />
Cascadia IT Conference intends to rename to "Cascadia IT, a LOPSA Conference"; unless a better idea is proposed.<br />
<br />
* Matt explained that for Cascadia IT 2015 LOPSA did a one off where if a Sponsored Cascadia LOPSA would make you a LOPSA Sponsor. This has to formalized better for the upcoming conference.<br />
* Thomas stated that there should be a separate account for the conferences. Atom added that there has to be some protection that if a confernece goes over budget it does not hinder the other conferences. Also there should be oversight to the conferences just to keep this from happening.<br />
<br />
* Ski suggested that he, Matt and Warner discuss the financial side of the proposal.<br />
* Thomas suggested that a new naming convention be developed. Ski added we need to keep the LOPSA brand in front of people.<br />
* Matt suggested that we should have a check list or certain requirements that would say "This is a LOPSA conference." In the case where we ,LOPSA, doesn't front the money for a conference, that the Local is doing the conference. So that would have to be discussed.<br />
** Thomas stated that as a minimum it should be stated that $45 of the conference fee comes back to LOPSA for a membership for the attendee.<br />
** Ski stated if LOPSA is taking on the risk it is a LOPSA conference<br />
** Thomas stated that we have to insure that it does not turn into a vendor fair.<br />
** Matt added to the membership return that the conference should abide by the LOPSA Ethics and etiquette policy. We don't want to add too many check points that it becomes overly difficult to qualify as a LOPSA conference.<br />
* Ski asked Atom to see if Cascadia IT can conform to this suggestions. Atom will work on that.<br />
* Matt restated that these conference arrangements has to be beneficial to both LOPSA and the Locals.<br />
*Atom stated that from his talks with USENIX they are all for LOPSA putting on more small conferences.<br />
<br />
== Committees (Atom) ==<br />
<br />
'''Theory''':<br />
* Reducing the number of active committees will enable us to focus our efforts and complete more projects.<br />
<br />
'''Facts''':<br />
* We have 13 committees and 9 board members.<br />
* Due to current volunteer levels, each committee is expected to be chaired by a board member.<br />
* All board members are volunteers with full time jobs.<br />
<br />
'''Conclusion''':<br />
* "Ain't nobody got time for that."<br />
<br />
'''Proposal''':<br />
* Reduce the number of active committees to focus on core values: Community, Professionalism, Education, and Philantrophy<br />
<br />
=== Existing Committees ===<br />
Committees or functions which are intended to keep LOPSA running, create value for LOPSA, and support core values.<br />
<br />
'''Leadership Committee'''<br />
Not staffed by the board so doesn't detract from board efforts.<br />
* Proposal: Unchanged<br />
<br />
'''Finance'''<br />
Manage budgets and expenses. This is significant work and can't be dropped or postponed.<br />
* Proposal: Unchanged<br />
<br />
'''Technical Services'''<br />
Manage software services. This is significant work, especially during the "reboot".<br />
* Proposal: Unchanged<br />
<br />
'''Development'''<br />
Build relationships and solicit sponsors.<br />
* Proposal: deactivate until we have something to offer sponsors. There is work that can be done to build a prospectus and I don't think that directly supports our core values or requires an entire committee at this stage of the "reboot".<br />
* Second (Paul): Conference sponsorships can feed through and they are our "best shot" right now of getting sponsorship money. This committee can work on grants (we are a non-profit after all) in the future when we have time to focus on it.<br />
<br />
'''Partnership & Liaison'''<br />
Build relationships with like-minded organizations.<br />
* Proposal: merge this with another committee. Education, Conferences, and LISA committees may each need to build relationships with like-minded organizations and/or individuals. Let those committees be responsible for those relationships until we have more need for centralized relationship management.<br />
<br />
'''Membership''' <br />
Answer questions from members.<br />
* Proposal: merge this with the locals committee. There is future work to be done to support membership and provide services for members. At this stage I believe we need to get better, not bigger.<br />
<br />
'''Conferences'''<br />
Support and facilitate LOPSA conferences and presence at other conferences.<br />
* Proposal: Unchanged. There is significant work here and both of the stated goals support our core values and help us get better.<br />
<br />
'''Locals'''<br />
Support local groups and meetups.<br />
* Proposal: merge this with the membership committee until we are ready to provide real services for locals. Local can and do run themselves. The little support they need can be provided by the membership committee.<br />
<br />
'''Mentorship'''<br />
Manage the mentorship program.<br />
* Proposal: unchanged. The mentorship program directly supports our core values.<br />
<br />
'''Education & Training'''<br />
Bootstrap education and training efforts for systems admins.<br />
* Proposal: Split this into two committees: Speakers Bureau and Education. This is a large effort and much of the focus of the "reboot" effort. Putting all this effort into a single committee increases the risk of failure.<br />
<br />
'''LISA + 10th year anniversary'''<br />
Setup a party at LISA<br />
* Proposal: unchanged. This may be significant work and, if done right, can provide real benefit by increasing our presence.<br />
<br />
'''Recognition'''<br />
Awards and LPR program<br />
* Proposal: unchanged. Providing recognition directly supports our core values.<br />
<br />
=== Proposed Committees ===<br />
This would leave us with the following committees that need board support:<br />
* '''Finance''' - LOPSA budgets and money management<br />
* '''Tech Services''' - LOPSA web sites and services<br />
* '''Membership''' - Support members and locals<br />
* '''Conferences''' - Support LOPSA conferences and organize presence at other conferences<br />
* '''Education''' - LOPSA library, "training the trainer" materials<br />
* '''Speakers Bureau''' - Build relationships with speakers/trainers and promote them for conferences<br />
* '''Mentorship''' - the mentorship program<br />
* '''LISA Party''' - publicity and LISA presence<br />
* '''Recognition''' - awards and LPR reboot<br />
<br />
A discussion on the proposal and Proposed new Committee structure followed. The consensus of the Board was that this made sense and was a good thing to do. Ski asked about combining the Lisa Party with the Conferences committee. Ski and Atom came to agreement that the Lisa Party Committee would be an Ad Hoc (spin off) from the conferences committee as would any other venture like that for another conference.<br />
<br />
Ski asked about the breaking out of the Speakers Bureau from the Education Committee and Atom felt with the emphasis this year on Education that it would take a large effort and would be better served if ran separately.<br />
<br />
=== Committee Organization ===<br />
Initially we can't rely on volunteers to staff the committees. Until we have enough volunteers I propose:<br />
* Each committee should have a chair and a deputy-chair from the board.<br />
* Each chair should be the primary chair on one committee only.<br />
* Each board member should have exactly one chair and one deputy chair position.<br />
* The chair is responsible for the committee and reporting committee results during board meetings; the deputy-chair assumes those responsibilities if the chair is unavailable.<br />
<br />
Committee Charters<br />
* The chair and deputy-chair will recruit volunteers for the committee.<br />
* The board will collectively determine the mission of the board.<br />
* The board chairs will determine the specific objectives, metrics, policies, and other operational functions of the committee, with board approval. Each committee is responsible for their own success.<br />
* The committee chair will report the status of the committee during each board meeting.<br />
<br />
As volunteers become available and are recruited:<br />
* Each committee should be staffed by three to five volunteers.<br />
* The board members retain their chair positions; we are a working board and maintaining a functional presence within the committees provides a buffer against volunteer turnover.<br />
=== Conclusion ===<br />
The outcome of the Committee proposal was that a new policy will be written up for full board approval. Matt did question that at the Face to Face we had two Board members on a committee to stop a single point of failure. Atom stated that he expected that a Board member would be chair on one committee and co-chair on another. Thomas stated that intent was not in the original proposal.<br />

We had 5 groups that I sent Tshirts and OReilly books to for system admin day parties located in Ottawa CA, Columbus OH, Fayetteville NC, Fort Lupton CO, and Bethany CT. Total cost was about $100 for shipping. Many were new or non-active members so this has been a good way to get LOPSA's name out to these folks. <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 />
