[UKTUG-Committee-Motions] [UKTUG-Committee] AGM - what are our preferences?

[Jonathan Underwood]

Brief answers on some of Jay's points from a personal perspective:

2008/6/18 Jay Hammond <homemade at talktalk.net>:
> a) Do we want to persuade members to adopt the constitution?
Yes.

> b) Do we want/need  to strengthen the committee
Yes.


> c) Do we want to continue our policy of supporting TeX projects?
And yes. Even if we fail at (a) and (b) and decide that TUG needs to
fold sometime soon I am personally committed to using the UKTUG money
as effectively as we can.

Indeed. One possibility would be to mail every graduate school in the
UK telling them we're offering a free TeX training day course. Grad
students have to attend a certain number of courses these days, and
maths/science grads often need LaTeX skills. I'm sure we'd get takers.
I'm not sure any of them would join UKTUG, though.

Jonathan.
