DavorOcelic, HCOOP Inc. system administrator and Board of Directors member.

1. System administrator position

One year ago

Today, things are looking different. We have a new infrastructure that will be deployed shortly

As far as our current technology and my system administrator position at HCOOP are concerned, in 2007 I plan to:

As mentioned, we are working on a new HCoop infrastructure. The areas I work on can be seen on the TaskDistribution page.

I would like to thank Justin Leitgeb, Ray Racine and Shaun Empie for valuable hardware donations that made the next round of HCoop expansion much easier in all aspects! See NewSystemHardware.

2. Board of Directors position (2007)

I should also give you a word on the nature of the Board of Directors position. HCoop is democratic in its roots, thanks to the original principles set (and rigorously conducted) by Adam Chlipala. While AdamChlipala is (and will probably always be ;) "The HCoop Founder", it's important to understand that Adam is not making decisions single-handedly, especially since we became a legal and officially recognized organization in all aspects (HCOOP, Inc.). Instead, the power is held within the member base, and ultimately within the Board of Directors (read our HcoopBylaws page).

So the Board of Directors (BoD) position has a few specifics:

For the above, it is important that you pay close attention to the Board being a "good balance of skills, geographic locations, and personalities" (as NathanKennedy nicely put it).

Finally, there is another part of Nathan's previous-year platform that I would like to quote:

"I hope you will re-elect the three current members of the board (Adam Chlipala, Nathan Kennedy, and Davor Ocelic). I believe that together we can continue to bring the membership together to create a service that gets better all the time."

Thank you all,

Davor Ocelic

3. Board of Directors position (2006)

I would like to thank everyone who voted for me on our first BoD HCOOP elections (see ["Election2006"]).

4. Board of Directors position (2005)

I would like to thank everyone who voted for me on our first BoD HCOOP elections (see ["Election2005"]).

Close to what I initially predicted, our first year was marked mostly by advances in the system setup. On a parallel front, NathanKennedy was working on issues related to our legal status (see [http://hcoop.net/board/]).

Few members-related issues did pop up, but nothing that would require the Board to meet outside of the scheduled meetings.
