Ruben
Thanks for the nomination.
At this time I am not clear about where I will be after the 1st of the year. I will therefore regretfully withdraw my nomination as Recording Secretary. I am willing to do what I can if I'm in the country.
Regretfully
Joe Villari

First I want to unfurl the list of nominees. Nominees are not installed
officers, just nominated. One of the things to keep in mind about the board
officers is that they to run on of the proposed standing committes, one needs to
be a board member. We are looking at having two kinds of committees, adhoc and
standing.
President: Ruben Safir
Vice President: Evan Inker
2nd Vice-President: Marc B.Conti
Treasurer: Joe Maffia
Sub-Treasruer: Jay Sulzberger
Secretary: Liz Arum, Joe Ercole, Sonny
Recording Secretary: Sonny, Joe Villari, Ron Guerin
Anyone who objects to being nominated email me and we'll remove you. Anyone who
might want to fill a position who didn't make it, email me. Final installment
and election will be done next month at the first NYLXS executive meeting. A
great deal was discussed about the goals of the coming year in terms of
fundraising and achivements. The first imperative of the organization at this
point to is secure a permanent home and place for our libraries services, and
meetings. Generaly, we are looking to secure an upstairs office to store front,
and to possibly run an internet cafe downstairs running exclussively free
software.
Sounds easy - right :)
>From a fund raising prespective, we are hoping to obtain the goal of $30,000 in
fund raising. Our educational program is one major fund raising component.
Several other organizations have aproached us about providing basic Linux
training and support. Some might be able to get us decent teaching space in
Manhattan.
In this regard, Marcus has volunteered to chair our Standing Educational
committee to work with Public High Schools and lead our efforts for free
software training and education. I have a previously worked out outline for a
curriculim of classes for a complete cradle to grave Linux program. Billy
Donahue has volunteered to do some teaching. This is a basic outline of the
educational agenda:
Introduction to Linux Introduction to Unix1 Introduction to Unix2 Introduction
to Apache: Linux 2 Introdution to Networking 1 Introduction to Programming with
Perl Advanced Apache Administration and Deveopment:mod_perl Advanced Web
Programming with Perl
The program requires each student to purchase a PC and install Linux and develop
a completely functional system which they take home at the end.
Some of the courses look like this:
