Next Agenda item... (NAME)
New Business
Affiliate Vendor Idea (ski)
- The idea is that vendors will offer a discount equal to the amount they donate to lopsa. For example, Stonefly networks is willing to discount up to $1000. A lopsa member who decides to purchase a Stonefly system makes a individual or corporate donation to Lopsa and then uses their donation receipt to get a discount for that amount off their order.
Mid-Atlantic GNU/Linux Conference (ski)
We have a request to attend/sponsor this conference (May 6th and 7th) in St. Louis Missouri. They are expecting 750+ people and want to pattern it after SCALE and OLF. Contact info is 314-881-8118 Russ Woodson (not sure about the last name).
Approve new chapter request (Bilancio)
- Request for a LOPSA Chapter in NYC. Three members are: Matt Simmons, Justin Lintz, Nathan Milford. No need for website just use of the list server. A NYC group was never voted on by the Board in the past. Bilancio recommends approval.
Board approved the request.
