Meeting (and election!) reminder

Tue Nov 14 20:51:22 PST 2006

Folks,

Just a reminder, the November general meeting of BayLISA will be held in 
the usual Yahoo room (Bldg E, classroom 9, directions at the end of the 
email). The topic is "Open Source IT Monitoring Tools", and speaker is 
Thomas Stocking. It should be a very interesting session.

Also, november is VOTING time, so if you want to vote for one of our four 
candidates for board, you can come to the meeting, or send an email vote 
to vote at baylisa.org.

The candidates are :

Bruce Coston
Rob Markovic
Heather Stern
James Turner

The candidate statements we've received are attached below :

James 'Mikey' Turner

To the President, Board, and Membership of BayLISA,

I present myself as a candidate for the Board of Directors.  My platform 
for this election is a very simple one - no politics.  Entirely too much 
time is wasted in organizations like BayLISA over silly political drama. 
It is my goal to minimize such, thereby maximizing the amount of time we 
can spend listening, learning, and eating pizza.  Pizza > Drama.  I am 
currently a System Administration intern at Yahoo! Inc., hopefully moving 
to full-time in December.  I've been using various flavors of Unix since 
the early '90s, and I love what I do.  The fact that I get paid to do it 
still makes me giggle. I will bring energy, enthusiasm, and a distinct 
lack of drama to the position if I'm elected.  I can't wait to see what we 
can accomplish together for ourselves and for BayLISA. :)

Rob Markovic

To whom it may concern,

Rob Markovic here, technical geek of many trades, would like to
participate on the board of BayLISA, as I find the group interesting
and useful, as well as the chance to make it even better.

Until then,

Finally, directions to the Yahoo meeting :

Follow the directions detailed at 
http://yhoo.client.shareholder.com/press/address.cfm

However, ignore the last two steps. Instead of turning first right into 
Yahoo bldg D, turn first LEFT into Yahoo bldg E. A guard will let you into 
the lobby and direct you to classroom 9.

Cheers,

Al
