Software Freedom Day 2015 will be held at Electron Workshop, 31 Arden St. North Melbourne, on Saturday 19 September.

Notice of LUV Annual General Meeting, 19 September 2015 Linux Users of Victoria, Inc., registration number A0040056C, will be holding its Annual General Meeting on Saturday, 19th September 2015, at Electron Workshop, 31 Arden St. North Melbourne. AGM BUSINESS The only matters of business to be considered at this meeting are: 1. Confirm minutes of annual general meeting on 20th September 2014. 2. Receive and consider annual report of the committee. 3. Receive and consider financial statements. 4. Elect committee: office-bearers (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer) and ordinary committee members. Nominations: Nominations for committee positions will be accepted at the meeting. You can nominate yourself, or another member if that other member agrees to the nomination. If you wish to nominate yourself or another member, and can't be at the AGM, you should nominate a proxy to do the nominating on your behalf. Proxies: You may appoint another member of LUV as your proxy for this meeting, to speak and vote on your behalf if you are unable to attend. If you are submitting your proxy on paper, you should sign and date it. If you are emailing your proxy, then the date and act of emailing will be taken as the equivalent of signing and dating a paper proxy. You can use the following form, which you can copy from between the horizontal rules, inserting your own name and that of your proxy as appropriate: ____________________________________________________________________ I, [insert your name], being a member of Linux Users of Victoria, appoint [insert name of your proxy], being also a member of Linux Users of Victoria, as my proxy to vote on my behalf at the Annual General Meeting of the association to be held on 1st September 2015, and at any adjournment of that meeting. [You can add here any specific instructions to your proxy, such as directions to vote in a particular way on a particular item. If you have no specific instructions, you can delete this bracketed paragraph.] ____________________________________________________________________ Notes about proxies: 1. You can appoint any LUV member as your proxy. However, the committee suggests that it's practical and convenient to appoint the President, Andrew Pam, as your proxy, who can be trusted to act on your proxy faithfully. 2. Emailed proxies should be sent to luv-secretary(a)luv.asn.au, and must be received at least 24 hours before the meeting. 3. Members who wish to send a paper proxy by post should contact the Secretary for the postal address to use. Such proxies also must be received at least 24 hours before the meeting. 4. Paper proxies can also be presented at the commencement of the meeting itself. 5. We recommend using the above form. However, under the new model rules, you can instead use any form that clearly identifies your proxy and is signed by you. Questions about this meeting are best posted to luv-meta(a)luv.asn.au. -- Andrew Pam, as LUV President. Linux Users of Victoria Inc. is an incorporated association, registration number A0040056C.
