Officer's Reports Accepted by acclamation. ~pp~ President's Report ------------------ - Evgueniy Sklyanin has handed over the (mostly, but not quite finished) gismu list to Yanis Batura. - There have been two logfests this period. The first was at Philcon 2005 in Philadelphia on December 9th - 11th, 2005, and was arranged by Robin; the second was at Penguicon 2006 in Michigan on April 21st - 23rd, 2006, and was arranged by Matt. Both ahave reportedly been fairly successful events. - Jbovlaste has been steadily expanded, with about 150 edits since last meeting. - The Wiki has now been pressed into service as a Content Management System for www.lojban.org. Some Officers have been given admin privileges, and are actively maintaining the official pages on the site, giving Robin some much-deserved relief. - The BPFK is currently stuck in the Attitudinals checkpoint. There is little controversial material here; it's just that the sections are numerous, large, and very boring. There is also a lack of shepherds who are able and willing to put in an effort. ~/pp~ ~pp~ Treasurer's Report ------------------ This is also my report to the board for 2Q2006. Main account balance at this time (more or less) last year: $2,264.80 Main account balance: $3,823.31 Main account balance according to QuickBooks: $3,721.60 Still not sure where the extra money came from, but dealing with Wachovia is so difficult I no longer much care. PayPal account balances; current balance is $46.79 That means we have a total of: $3870.10 In addition, the Treasurer has not missed or been late for a single quarterly report this year, a fact of which he is quite proud. ~/pp~ !! Committee Reports Accepted by acclamation. ~pp~ New Book Keeping Procedures --------------------------- Doing just as well as last year. I move that this be abolished as a committe, since it only amounts to the Treasurer's regular duties at this point. ~/pp~ ~pp~ BPFK ---- Copied from Arnt's presidential report: - The BPFK is currently stuck in the Attitudinals checkpoint. There is little controversial material here; it's just that the sections are numerous, large, and very boring. There is also a lack of shepherds who are able and willing to put in an effort. ~/pp~ !! Election of New Members None. !! Removal of Old Members None. !! Election of the Board * Robin Lee Powell * Bob LeChevalier * Matt Arnold * Jay Kominek * Arnt Richard Johansen !! Old Business None. !! New Business Various conversations about the BPFK and Lojban/Klingon activities occoured; none resulted in actual motions or voting. The following was passed by general consent: ^ First, I move that we commend Robin on his outstdanding work on samxarmuj (the Lojban MOO, which is now basically open for usage, in case no one else was aware). It's certainly an interesting method of getting people involved and learning the language in a fun and interactive way, which has been difficult to come up with given our relative lack of proximity to one another. Second, and in the same vein, I move that we commend Matt Arnold on his lojban evangelism. He seems to have a good group going on out there in Michigan, and he seems to be very good at coming up with ways to get people interested. I'm still looking forward to the next jbocradi. In both of these, you see the doors opening wide for new Lojbanists, who we really do need to keep this language moving forward. I'd like to commend both of these gentlemen on their outstanding efforts. ^ * Previous meeting: ((LLG 2005 Annual Meeting Minutes|2005 annual meeting)) * Following meeting: ((LLG 2007 Annual Meeting Minutes|2007 annual meeting))
