Grex in 2012
| 
Dec 12 20:01 UTC 2011 |
Is anyone interested in running for a seat on Grex's board of directors?
If so, please volunteer here. If not, maybe we should plan to dissolve
the organization in a graceful manner. This probably means revoking our
501c(3) status and our bylaws and simply allowing whatever volunteers are
interested in running the hardware to do so, probably out of one of their
homes. Whatever money we have would need to be donated to another non-
profit entity, I believe.
I, for one, sincerely thank our current board members for all their
efforts. Kent, especially.
But without volunteers the game is over. Anyone willing to step up to
the plate and give it a try?

for once you and I agree mary. the days of this type of forum are
over.m-net has a superior shell and platform so most of the CS majors
use that as a practice box. grex could have had a part in that but
everyone ignored cross's suggestion to move over to freebsd. Openbsd
just plain sucks.the bbs here has decayed into a few users who shout out
their particular party line and all the good trolling fodder is gone so
I am the only die hard troll left. gone are the heydays of party. even
the system info conf has been laid waste by valerie mates unethical
delete script that violated the stated purpose of grex and all that
because someone suggested that nursing makes your nipples tough.grex was
an interesting place when it ran on sun hardware as that was a bit of a
novelty even those many years ago. you and remmers both have forsaken
grex and no longer entertain with your witty and creative comebacks.
grex is dead,long live m-net!

I guess that means you're not interested in running for a board seat.

What kind of time commitment is involved with being on Grex's BoD?

I live in Chicago, so I can't volunteer, sorry!
If I was local, I would do it.

We have had board members dial-in (or Skype in, if that works), and our
by-laws allow for this. It does make it a little interesting to find a
location were we can have a phone, but it's not impossible.
The time commitment is a couple hours every 6-8 weeks plus whatever
thinking you need to do to prepare for a meeting and answer an e-mail or
two in between meetings.
It might be less time depending on how often the board chooses to meet
and how many issues requiring board input occur between meetings (that
has not been much other than contribute to the agenda and commit to a
meeting date and time).
If you are a Board officer, your time commitment will be somewhat higher.
