[H-GEN] Presidents report for the period ending 2010-12-09

[Russell Stuart]

This is my first Presidents report for this term.

Committee reports submitted at the last Exec meeting:
  Vice President: done & accepted by the exec.
  Secretary:      done & accepted by the exec.
  Treasurer:      done & accepted by the exec.
  Librarian:      done & accepted by the exec.

The committee distributed the jobs among themselves in much the same way
as last year.   Just so you know who is responsible for what:

  Russell Stuart:   President, who does nothing much.
  Matthew Franklin: Vice President.  Also in charge of meeting rooms and
                    the membership lists.
  Mark Ellem:       Treasurer.
  Stephen Thomas:   Secretary.
  Greg Black:       Librarian, and system administration.

Briefly, things that have happened in the last 3 months:

1.  The LCA Competition was held and won.  This was a supposed to be
    a membership drive.  It didn't attract many members, but it did
    do a reasonable job of promoting LCA among the Uni students.

2.  We are in the process of disposing of the library.  I will be
    picking up some bits and pieces from David Seikel and putting
    them on a table at the next committee meeting.  What doesn't
    disappear will go to the tip.

3.  Our meeting rooms for the next six months were booked with UQ.
    Again, we are indebted to UQ ITS for booking them on our 
    behalf.  Without ITS sponsoring us we would not have the rooms.

Finally, the next exec meeting is this Saturday, the 2010-12-11 at 2 PM,
just prior to the normal meeting.  All are welcome to attend.
