##Director at Large
###Interested in organizing 1 day for "women in OSS" to see who shows up: expect it to take a significant amount of planning/recruitment.  Ladies only event.  Seems to be a comfort problem keeping women away in general.  Potential for yearly event.  BL is requesting the support of the board.
###A little slower getting back in to the groove than expected
##committee reports
###Program
####Ted R. been doing great job so far
####It'd be nice to redo the Team 1 – need a month's planning and RSVP
####Potential for someone to talk about qemu and kvm
####Should probably move the picnic to May because rooms are nearly impossible to get in May.  Sunday is generally better than Saturday for the picnic.
####I think we do a better job of lining up stuff in advance if we line stuff up in advance.
####Michael Skowvron may do a talk on kernel scheduling.
####Patrick to talk to Tom Jones about Tolven
####Patrick to research company that uses Vista 
###PR
####LiveCD is "doing their own thing"
####Cert study group: not much going on really
####Survey: no progress
####TiE Pgh: trying to get some kind of joint happy hour event – possibly coordinate with geek night, but geek night is sometimes "beyond capacity". Will propose June's geek night.
####Dave provided Vance fliers from TiE summit
###Internet
####BL: Penguin: welcome worn out at SCS.  Could relocate to ECE. IC to research new locations and possible costs.
####Formal tie would be better than information tie with SCS
###Investigating
####Still don't know if Mike H. is on IC or not.  BL will see him soon.
###Newsletter
####Been in touch with 3 publishers getting book reviews.  5 book reviews outstanding.  1 draft review already in.
####business as usual
##Unfinished businesses
###Paypal is empty/confirmed.  Give paypal the middle finger.
###Have not research CAPTCHA plugin
###Membership page has been has had paypal link removed
###LUGRadio Live. Still waiting on Chris and Google.  BL will attempt to follow up with Chris.
###WPLUG hosting barcamp.  (Pittsburgh hosting barcamp, not WPLUG) will be on discussion for next user group powwow.  We want this to be a team effort with other groups (dorkbot).  Dru Sealy on mailing list is associated with dorkbot.  Need lots of small rooms.  Patrick to find date for next UG meeting.
###Suggestions for SWAG for WPLUG survey.
###Patrick moves spending up to $100 on prizes for wplug survey, Dave seconded.  Passed with no opposition.  ###On your honor, please only take the survey once – part of document rules.
##New businesses
###More ideas on women in open source:  May be a local chapter of society of women engineers.  WPLUG may provide funding.  BL will post on WPLUG-announce@.

###Move that we call a special election to fill the treasurers position with noms in May and election in June.  No objection.
