[Steering Committee] Annual JUG sponsorship

[biju.ctr.kurian at faa.gov]

Brett,
 
No problem at all; your concerns were legitimate and completely 
understandable; you don't want JUG's freedom sabotaged by some ill-gotten 
marketing gig. The subject matter under discussion will always be decided 
through consensus of JUG leaders/members and address issues relevant to 
the Java community. Thanks, Brett.

So it looks like I misinterpreted what I read in Ryan's email. That's 
clearly my mistake, so I apologize.

As I think I mentioned previously, I'd be happy with a larger pool of 
presenters and larger attendance at the steering committee meetings.

As for whether some is or is not qualified, that's actually never come up 
as far as I am aware. And in fact, my issue was not regarding 
qualification but rather subject matter.

Since we are not giving away guaranteed speaking spots, my issues are 
resolved.

Sorry if I jumped the gun.

Brett

Good morning Brett,
My intention certainly wasn't to set your spider senses alight! First and 
foremost, my motive in electing for an annual membership in the JUG is to 
encourage involvement in while also contributing constructively to JUG. 
There are ancillary exposure benefits that factor into my decision, sure, 
but my main goal is to contribute positively to both my team members' and 
local Java user's professional development, as well as create additional 
exposure for JUG to the local Java development community. I've personally 
seen a great deal of benefit from involvement in JUG, for professional 
development and perhaps more importantly team solidarity and consensus. If 
the Steering Committee decides that Objectstream isn't qualified to speak 
on certain topics, I have no problem with that; I will still retain my 
commitment to JUG. I await the Steering Committee's decision. Thanks, 
Brett.

One speaker quarter? That makes my spider senses tingle. 

He's taking both adversing time (fine) and presenter time. I don't like 
that unless we allow for multiple speakers per month.

Hi Biju, hello steering committee,

I had lunch with Biju today to go over what an annual sponsorship would 
look like.  We agreed that he would pay $1200 on January 1 for a 2010 
sponsorship.  He wasn't as interested in direct sponsorship benefits as 
our recruiting sponsors have been, but he would like ObjectStream branding 
on the web site and the standard three meeting sponsorships we included 
with the recruiting sponsorship.  He'd also like to provide one speaker 
per quarter next year.

I invited Biju and his speaker(s) to attend our next steering committee 
meeting so we could discuss topics.

Biju, we really do appreciate your support.
