Wednesday, September 24, 2008 7-9pm - Call to Order
- The first meeting of the Front Range PHP Users Group (FRPUG) was called to order at 7pm.
- The meeting was held at the East Library (Colorado Springs) in East Conference Room I.
- Individuals attending:
- Asa Martin
- Cal Jacobson
- Dan Lindorf
- Joe Dille
- Mark R.
- Matt Skinner
- Roger Mangin
- Group Announcements
- As this was our first meeting, the only announcement was that there were no announcements!
- Action Items
- Ratification of Group Bylaws
- Goal was to develop a set of concise, good-faith bylaws for the FRPUG so future meetings can focus on PHP instead of rules and administrative procedures.
- Cal passed out copies of other user group bylaws as well as a draft he threw together to use as a starting point.
- Draft structure was based on a bylaws template published here.
- The published bylaws of the Dallas Ft. Worth UNIX Users Group proved to be very useful and the group chose to incorporate several sections almost verbatim.
- Group spent 90 minutes reviewing materials and making changes.
- Bylaws approved 5-0 by verbal vote of individuals present. Mark and Roger were not present at the time of the vote due to other obligations.
- Election of Group Officers
- The following individuals were appointed to the Board of Directors:
- President - Cal Jacobson
- Vice President - Joe Dille
- Secretary - Matt Skinner
- Treasurer - Asa Martin
- Member-at-Large - Dan Lindorf
- Establishment of Meeting Schedule
- The Board of Directors agreed to hold FRPUG meetings on the last Wednesday of the month. Changes to the meeting schedule will be subject to the conditions outlined in the group Bylaws.
- The October meeting will be held on the 29th of the month; again at the East Library from 7 to 9pm.
NOTE: To accomodate the schedule of our October presenter, the meeting date was changed to the 22nd by a majority decision by the Board of Directors on October 6th. Location was changed to the Rockrimmon Library as the East Library did not have an available room at that time.
- Future Presentations
- The Board of Directors discussed potential topics for subsequent FRPUG meetings and agreed that a general overview of available PHP frameworks would be a suitable presentation for the October meeting. Dan and Cal would lead the presentation with assistance, if possible, from the other Board members.
- A Call for Presentations and a general discussion of potential future topics will take place at the October meeting.
- Roger had expressed interest in PHP-ODBC or PHP-Oracle information.
- Adjournment
