Good evening everybody,
I'm pleased to announce that the AGM will be held in the Mucky Duck in
Winchester at 7:30pm on the 31st August.
I hope to see lots of you there. Don't forget to register!

> Hello everybody,
>
> Sparked by the imminent renewal of the HantsLUG domain name, the committee
> has recently been discussing the future of the group. If there was
> significant mailing list traffic we would just renew it without concern,
> however, as there has been very little traffic, the question of whether
> the LUG should continue has been raised. We are therefore calling a
> meeting to determine the future of the LUG. A copy of the constitution is
> available on the website, should you wish to view it.
>
> In order to register to vote at the meeting, please e-mail
> webmaster@??? with subject "votereg" please include your name
> in the e-mail.
>
> Details of the date and location will follow in a second e-mail. I would
> urge everyone to attend if at all possible. Ultimately, it's your LUG and
> up to you to decide it's future.
>
> If this meeting is not quorate (at least eight voting members, or ten
> percent (10%) of the total voting membership, whichever is the greater)
> the committee will hold a further general meeting to decide what happens
> next.
>
> We have three options (this will form the agenda for the meeting):
>
> 1) A new committee is elected and the LUG continues as normal. Existing
> committee members can stand for re-election. I will not be standing. -
> Please submit nominations to chairman@???
>
> 2) The committee is disbanded and the constitution suitably updated to
> enable a sole LUG member to act as benefactor; to maintain the mailing
> list and optionally the website as they see fit with a suitable degree of
> consultation from the membership. In this case the current LUG funds will
> not be handed over to the benefactor.
>
> 3) The group is wound up. The mailing list and website will be taken
> off-line and the domain-name either retained for 12 months, or given to
> another LUG in Hampshire. No funds will be retained (see below).
>
> For either option 2 or 3, no funds will be retained. This does not prevent
> long-term purchase of domain name and services by the current committee,
> prior to the funds being distributed. For distribution, the following is
> suggested:
>
> a) Nominations for suitable open-source projects/LUGs/Makerspaces etc. are
> called for, over a period of a week. A list of all nominations will be
> posted by the chairman. Nominations must be linux-related, open-source or
> charitable, and not for personal gain; makerspaces are acceptable.
>
> b) The members vote for their preferred nomination (1 vote per member) by
> e-mail. Over the course of one week.
>
> c) The votes are counted and the remaining LUG funds are split between the
> top 5 nominations by percentage of votes. This will be announced on the
> mailing list.
