My thanks for the votes last meeting, regarding which something like this happened:

ME: "Since it's June, shouldn't there be a..."
RICK: "Nominate chair."
LIGHTSEY: "Second."
CARLILE: "Vote carries."
ME: "... election?"

And that's about the way it went. Moving right along to my continuing conspiracy to get people other than myself to do presentations...

We still have access to Russell Adams, not yet back up East on assignment (report on his Version Control show below) and it looks like we can have him do something on accounting in Linux (which he does, via a text-based scheme). How many times have you suggested Linux only to hear "I'm tied to Microsoft because of Quick Books"? I realize we aren't all accountants or consultants, but such a presentation would break new ground, plus viewers of the video file could benefit.

This would occur on the upcoming fourth Saturday the 27th at the usual 2pm, at the Hal-PC headquarters. I'm 95% sure that a consulting gig has not grabbed him yet for this date.
