Board Elections

Dear all,

I'd like to run for the oncoming LugBZ board elections.

I want to take the chance and try to shape it closer to the people, i.e.
to practically diffuse knowledge and FLOSS installations and be the
collective where to point to in case of doubts/questions/need of help.
This includes also some changes to means of communication.
I also want to be LugBZ closer to the territory, with subsections in
valleys. We should go into schools and/or youth centers and show what
can be done with FLOSS.

For those of you that don't know me: My name is Pasquale Imbemba, I'm 45
years old. I was born and raised in Bochum, Germany. I live in South
Tyrol since 1997. I had working experience at Senfter (Innichen and
Rotterdam), Internet Consulting (Bruneck), Würth (Bozen), and Innerhofer
(Bruneck).
I developed enterprise application components according to the JEE (EJB
3.x). Keen interest into JEE standards, JBoss projects and products,
open source / free software, GNU/Linux, and in Service Oriented
Architecture and advocate their use.
I'm (still) a Java/JEE enthusiast and use both GNU/Linux (at home) and
Windows (at work).
I did quite some free installations and maintenance of GNU/Linux OS,
mainly ubuntu, for desktop purposes and got quite positive feedback.

I live in Bruneck with my wife and two kids.

Cheers

Hi Pasquale & others,

I enjoy your idea of decentralising the LUG.

Please consider this part of our general assembly email sent some time ago:

Laut uns sollte der neugewählte Vorstand kompakt auftreten und sich
vorwiegend um rechtliche Themen kümmern, d.h. als Exekutive und
Organisator fungieren, um den Rest der Aufgaben mitarbeitswilligen
Mitgliedern zu überlassen, welche er in deren Bedürfnissen und
Anliegen unterstützt.
Diese Mitglieder bilden dann Schwerpunktgruppen, um bspw. die
Organisation der Installation Partys, Key-Signing Partys und der
Workshops zu übernehmen, die Website zu pflegen oder auch um Open Data
in der Öffentlichen Verwaltung zu verbreiten.

Auch hier unser Aufruf zur Kandidatur! Dabei wäre es uns eine Freude,
vermehrt Mitglieder aus anderen Landesteilen zu gewinnen, um
Veranstaltungen künftig auch außerhalb Bozen und Umgebung anbieten zu
können.

Just raise your points during the assembly, I hope you will be present
there.

Of course we as LUG will need to help organising rooms in the various
places. This should not happen only in Bolzano, but likewise in Bruneck etc.

Cheers,
Matthias

It can't be physically at the assembly. Is it possible to arrange for a
videoconference?

Hi Pasquale,

Thank you for your availability!

I apologize for the late response, we have been discussing this matter
internally in the mean time. Wouldn't i be possible for you come for an
hour? We could rearrange the program to make sure that this topic gets
discussed first so you can leave early. New members are encouraged to be
present at the General Assembly.

I would like to add two additional points here:

* Members can be voted onto the board, even if they are not physically
present. This has been done in the past.
* Your vote (on any topic) is only valid if it is a written "delega"
signed by you and given to someone who is present at the meeting.

Concerning video conferencing: we need to ask the General Assembly if
this is possible and it will need to be voted on by the members present.
If the vote passes, someone present could make a video call to you in
case.

P.S

I am hoping to send out the program to members before the end of the
day!

Kind Regards,

Unfortunately I can't on Tuesdays.

I will arrange with some friend for the delega.

Rgds,
#pasquale
