| SUBJECT | Subject: [hangout] Standing Commitees
|
In the draft of NYLXS constitution standing committees are mentioned but not
enumerated. As the draft now stands, "The president may appoint standing
committees as shall be required." (Art.IX,Section 1) Even though the
president will appoint them we should have an idea of what committees the
membership desire and would find useful. Using the NYLXS Starting Agenda
(http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/appl/nylinux/mail/bysubject.html?idno=253) as a
starting point, here is an initial list of committees and their goals that I
offer for comments, ammendments, additions and deletions:
* Education - encouraging adoption of Free Software in the education system,
providing support to educational institutions
* Training - developing course curriculuae (curriculums), scheduling of
classes and teachers
* Lobbying - establishing and maintaining relationships with other groups
having similar goals, disseminating information about where and when people
can show up and add their voice, speaking up on the issues facing the Free
Software community
* Resources - establish and maintain a lending library, provide resources to
area LUGs, facilitate consultant and jobs network
* Special Activities - organize installfests, inservice and technical
lectures etc.
* Journal - produce an NYLXS Journal and other informational materials
* Internal Technical - maintain and manage NYLXS' information technology,
i.e. website and lab(when we get one)
* Acquisition - finding office space, getting equipment and other physical
resources
Looking over it now, 8 seems to be a lot but there are many goals.
Marcus
