Board of Directors Minutes
December 11, 2006


A regular meeting of your Board of Directors was held at the Resource Center on Monday, December 11, 2006. Present were Charles Bovaird, Richard Corzo, John Gallichotte, Sean Henderson, Lisa Leifels, Patrick Libert, Rob Limbaugh, Jeff Setaro and Jamie Yates. Marc Cohen and John Lansdale were also at the meeting. President Jeff Setaro presided and Secretary Lisa Leifels kept the record. Minutes of the last meeting held on November 13, 2006 were approved.

Treasurer Charles Bovaird reported current cash assets of $11,190.03, consisting of total bank and postal accounts in the amount of $11,098.26 plus postage on hand of $91.77. Subtracting a liability of prepaid dues in the amount of $5,066.00 left a net equity of $6,124.03. He also reported that the current membership is at 285, of which 61 are electronic.

Jamie will present some of Google’s key products other than a search engine at the January meeting. Jamie reported that Nerds To Go is willing to do a presentation. He also contacted Sounds Incredible about doing a future presentation and he is waiting to hear back from them. He is also going to check the Mindshare website to see if he can get Microsoft to do a presentation. Rob Limbaugh offered to present the topic of virtual machine technology for possibly the February of March general meeting.

Jamie said that Christine Novell has offered to talk about the social networking website ‘del.icio.us’ at the January general meeting during the “What’s News” time segment. This will help Jamie out, since he is the featured speaker at the January meeting. Christine may also hold additional workshops on other topics and present some of these topics during the “What’s News” portion of the General Meeting.

Rob Limbaugh, Sean Henderson, John Lansdale and Charlie Bovaird volunteered to be on the Focus Group committee. The committee will work with Erik Olson to conduct research on how past, current and prospective members view DACS. The committee is planning to communicate with one another via a phone conference and will report their progress back to the Board.

Jamie suggested that we can get some fresh ideas by taking a closer look at how other computer clubs in the area handle recruiting speakers and publishing their newsletters.
It was decided that it is not cost effective to proceed with the Joomla website, and for now the focus will be on maintaining the current website in Dreamweaver. The board appreciates all of the hard work Scott Preston has done on developing the new Joomla website and would like to move it to one of the servers in the Resource Center for future use.
Richard Corzo made a motion for John Lansdale to become a new Board Director, which was approved by the board.

The meeting ended with Marc Cohen taking a photograph of all the current Board members.
