Agenda:

 

1)       Certification Class

2)       Attendance count

o         37 to 42 -- Jean got 38 and had 3 sponsors. By the end of the meeting, there were 4 people from InterSystems present.

3)       Vote on Audit

o         Stephanie suggested rejecting the audit. There is too much opinion mixed in with the facts. Stick to the numbers.

o         Glen doesn't think that we have anything to actually worry about. Glen likes the comments. To keep them in so that the next group of people have them.

o         Daniel thinks the conjectures are valuable to keep history of what happened.

o         Stephanie would like to see the intakes more categorized, i.e., net and broken down into categories.

o         Motion: Create a balance sheet with only figures, and no comments. What is currently called the audit report will stand an addendum to the new balance sheet. Additional Addendums are: Jean's summary document, David Dietz's email on AMEX certificate information, and Stephanie's corrections to the audit. The income, outgoing, and net values as given in the Audit report produced by the committee will be accepted as true.

---

The remainder of this document captures the informal discussions that occurred after the break up of the quorum meeting.

 

1. Jean handed $165 in cash and 2 checks worth $15 each to Daniel for deposit into the JavaMUG bank account. These monies came from the JavaMUG Programmer's Certification course done in Fall 2004.

 

2. Daniel handed to Jean the 32 filled in membership forms from tonight's meeting.

 

3. Development Committee Update:

o         October Meeting Sponsor - Rick Stevens from Act-1. They are a recruiting agency. He has approval of budget.

o         Jean has names from Barbara of people to contact for November and further sponsorship.

o         Cliff Dorsey from Collabnet is interested in both sponsoring and sponsoring a speaker. (Brian Behlendorf is probably the proposed speaker. He gave an open source development in corporations recently in Dallas.) Jean hasn't heard from Alex. Jean asked Daniel for a contact number for Alex (her database crashed). Daniel gave Jean a contact email address.
