I accept nomination as a candidate for the 2012 HCoop board of directors election. HCoop Board of Directors nomination acceptance:
Line 9: Line 9:
I joined HCoop in January 2010 with the simple intent of putting on some work pants, but life intervenes as it does, and I was content to make a small contribution to HCoop in the form of member dues. I'm better versed in its workings now, and I would view election to the board as a signal to take a greater hand in my own improvement as a sysadmin to better serve HCoop. I use Linux on all my machines, and have worked as a sysadmin in an AFS space before; these things are not new to me so much as fallen into relative disuse. I have served as the HCoop treasurer for the last year, as well as continued working on my MAT (Master's degree in Teaching) and acquiring a job as a high school Latin teacher. Took me a little while to get my brain around the treasurer task, but I am chugging along merrily, and enjoying myself to boot. I have worked in concert with the rest of the board to manage financial matters as they arise; it's not a very showy job, but payments are getting handled. My next plan is to give us an actual budget statement so that we can expand and improve services for members.
Line 11: Line 11:
My interest for HCoop work is one of expanding the pool and quality of user-accessible software; instead of having many installations of WordPress, for instance, I would strive to create a system akin to the moin-moin-install script so that only one repository must be updated when security and feature enhancements come down the pipeline. I can do this as an ordinary member, but I have put less of a priority on the HCoop because I am also pursuing other life goals. To elect me would be to put me in a position of being depended upon to do real good for us. I'd not let that opportunity go to waste. If you like what I am doing (i.e., staying out of your hair except to handle payments efficiently), I hope you will see fit to re-elect me so that I may continue it.
