first try using Hangouts as a method of communicating during a meeting, so

I'm having trouble seeing how this hangout setup works. From what I can
gather, I will have to have participants in the gmail contact list.
I setup my Google+ account and activated google hangouts so I'm a big
step closer.
If you want to add me to your contacts for the hangout, please use the
email I sent in the response. I don't want to post it here!
Thanks

So as long as one person has everyone in the contacts list, they can 'invite'
people to the hangout. Could you send me your contact info? I haven't seen
a note from you. crossd@gmail.com

A quick note: We did meet last night. Everyone was there (virtually, that
is), we elected officers had reports and so on. TS graciously volunteered
to take notes and post minutes for this particular meeting.
I will present a "nutshell summary" until TS has time to post actual minutes:
1. Meeting brought to order: present were cross, kentn, walkman, tod and tsty.
2. Scheduling next meeting: we agree to meet bimonthly on the 2nd Wednesday
of the month at 8:30pm E[DS]T. The next meeting is therefore scheduled for
July 9 at 20:30 EDT.
3. Electing of officers:
a. kentn is appointed chairman
b. cross is appointed secretary
c. tod is appointed treasurur
4. Discussion of treasurer duties; the P.O.Box has been re-established, etc.
5. staff and treasurer reports:
a. we have about $1500 in the bank
b. Grex is mostly up, we will be transitioning to FreeBSD
6. walkin business: general discussion about hardware and future directions.
7. Adjourn.

Thanks, Dan. I thought it was one of the better board meetings Grex has
had in a while. Lots of good discussions and ideas for making things
run better. I hope we can keep it up. It was a rather long meeting,
but I guess that's expected when we haven't met for quite a few months
and have several new members with good ideas. We also had a number of
issues building up over the last few months and a number of status
items to go over.
If we meet more frequently we can possibly keep the agenda shorter and
get done sooner.
Note that meeting minutes usually go in a separate item so when we are
ready to post them we can do that. It would be good if you review the
notes that TS took and see if you agree before posting. Thanks.
