== Board statement 2015 ==

I have been a member of HCoop since 2005 and currently serve as Secretary; I also run [[http://planet.hcoop.net/|Planet HCoop]] and have contributed to Domtool. My platform:

 1. Purchase and install a new server as soon as possible so that we can responsibly expand our membership.
 1. Expand membership through word-of-mouth recommendations and grassroots campaigns.
 1. Recruit system administration volunteers so that we can provide new services, like microblogging and Media''''''Goblin.
 1. Adopt a license policy to make our future software and documentation free (documentation is currently non-free).
 1. Adopt an EnvironmentalPolicy requiring that we offset the pollution we generate.
 1. Move our accounts to the National Cooperative Bank or a credit union.

== 2011 Board Statement ==

I have been a member of HCoop since 2005; I wrote the Domtool Emacs mode, was involved in the 2009 migration project, started the hcoopstatus Identica group, and am [[http://hcoop.net/~bpt/hcoop/portal.html|redesigning the member portal]]. My platform:

 * Expand to 150–250 members during the next year and end the pledge system.

 * Move HCoop accounts to the National Cooperative Bank or a similar credit union.

 * Implement a strong environmental policy when we are financially able to; purchase carbon offsets to compensate for our use of nonrenewable energy.

 * Document development processes for our custom software. Recruit more volunteers for system administration tasks. Consider applying to be a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2012.

 * Last but not least, I will print HCoop T-shirts, finishing the project that NathanKennedy began in 2005. (:

== 2010 Board Statement ==

I have been a member of HCoop since 2005; I wrote the Domtool Emacs mode, was involved in the 2009 migration project, started the hcoopstatus Identica group, and am redesigning the member portal. My platform:

 * Plan to expand to 150--250 members during the next year and then end the pledge system once we can do so without increasing dues significantly.

 * Move HCoop accounts to the National Cooperative Bank or a similar credit union.

 * Implement a strong environmental policy when we are financially able to; purchase carbon offsets to compensate for our use of nonrenewable energy.

 * Document development processes for our custom software and recruit a fourth admin. Also consider making it possible for admins to delegate certain tasks to trusted non-admins.

 * Last but not least, I will have HCoop T-shirts printed, finishing the project that NathanKennedy began in 2005. (:
