Group, Inc. was called to order on Sat, 8 Aug 2009 14:32:19 +0200.

participated (commented or voted) is as follows:

Reading of Minutes


At the time, it was believed that the reading of the minutes was waived, in
favour of LLG Members as the canonical listt, by unanimous consent, but
this seems to have only been mentioned, not formally stated. Regardless, the
mention could have been objected to and was not, so we're calling it good.

President's report

Hey folks, Eppcott here with the President's report.

Late last year I received a delivery of several boxes of the Complete
Lojban Language from Lojbab through his relative, and ever since, I
have taken over order fulfillment. Sales are brisk. I am soon to
receive an LLG credit card with which to make shipments, for greater
fiduciary accountability.

The Lojban Festival at Penguicon was exciting and got a lot of people
interested in the language. Robin, Clsn, Pierre, Tene, and Bancus were
among the Lojbanists in attendance, and of course I was there since I
chaired Penguicon.

Last year, I said that if you elected me President of the Board, I
would accept, but not do anything until after I was done chairing
Penguicon. That (and running PodDisc.com, and going back to school)
ate up my life completely until May. I originally intended to have
already begun several initiatives between May and now, which bear a
lot of resemblance to several of the ideas presented recently by
Cosmic Ray. As it turns out, my life has been pretty busy since then
as well. I apologize for that.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Officer's Reports

Treasurer's Report
------------------
The main account balances at $5,664.41

The paypal account balances at $325.34

We lost $10 due to me being late this quarter; I'd pay it out of
pocket, but there's actually no way to do that, the tax board draws
from our account.

The board spent $824.50 on sending people to LogFest.  This came
entirely out of the PayPal account; we did not need to touch the
main account for that at all.


Accepted by acclamation.

Committee Reports

BPFK Report and Secretary Report
--------------------------------

Neither the secretary nor the BPFK jatna (who take a shower with
each other every morning, as clsn puts it) have anything of
significance to report.

As usual, of you, or anyone you know of, is chomping at the bit to
help the community, the BPFK is the most important thing we need to
do, and we could use the help.

-Robin


Accepted by acclamation.
