[OLUG] UNL LUG

[J.R. Wessels]

Hello all!  My name is J.R. Wessels and I am the one trying to form the LUG 
on the UNL campus.  Currently the plan is just to make a UNL LUG for a 
number of reasons.  The first is the group would have access to university 
resources for free or for a small fee.  Things such as liability insurance 
(like if we want a fund raiser, have someone's machine blow up during an 
installation, have a group BBQ, etc.), server space, a group email account, 
and space to meet (with ethernet connections, projectors, computers for 
presentations).

Another consideration is money.  There is financial backing to some degree 
from ASUN (but the amount is laughably small) and Pepsi grant money (this is 
where the real funding comes from).  If we decide to do some fund raising or 
take dues (I would like to avoid this as much as possible), the university 
has organization checking accounts.

Right now the next move is to get a letter of intent summitted to ASUN so we 
can have the first meeting.  At the end of the semester, a constitution must 
be summitted to ASUN for approval.  After that, the UNL LUG is officially 
recognized by the University of Nebraska.

I have put together a very pleminary web site for the LUG.  My html skills 
are very limited, so keep that in mind ;).  It's located on my CSE account, 
but when the LUG is official, it will move to the main university web 
server.  http://www.cse.unl.edu/~jwessels

Any comments, suggestions, or questions are welcome.  Also, I would like one 
of these days to attend one of your meetings.  Talk to ya later!
