Sorry guys, thought it posted. Here ya go:
If you have an interest in joining the Software Dev Committee, PM me so I can add your name to the list of interested members.
We had a large turnout at tonight’s initial meeting. If you are interested, but unable to attend tonight’s meeting, no worry, the most important item on the agenda was the move to form an independent committee for Software Development which passed. We also spoke in general terms on goals of the committee such as teaching software development, attracting guest speakers who are leaders in related disciplines, working with Infrastructure on DMS related projects, and sponsoring hackathons. There were quite a few more great ideas being tossed around, but these have been the items most discussed and are the ones I will be taking to the board. Since, at the moment, a chair has not been elected, the newly formed committee might modify portions of the committee’s goals.
I will go before the board this Sunday @ 5p to express our interest in starting a new committee, give the goals of the new committee and convey the level of interest.
If you feel like you can add value to the presentation, let me know.
We also set a meeting time, pending board approval, for Tuesday, December 5th @ 7p. At that time, we will vote in the new chair for Software Development. I am removing myself as an option for SD chair.
In case you forgot already: If you have an interest in joining the Software Dev Committee, PM me so I can add your name to the list of interested members.
