[dundee] Taylug weekly articles 24 - AGM

[gordon dunlop]

Hi All,
This is the last week of the TayLUG articles for the present so I
think it is appropriate to have AGM as the last theme. I am referring
to the AGM of the University of Abertay Dundee Linux Society which
will be held on the 5th of June. The various topics on the agenda will
be: Fresher's Fair; Software Freedom Day; Hacklabs & the DCA;
Elections/Re-Elections; Any New Business. I would like to express my
thanks to Arron Finnon and his UAD Linux Society officials for their
hard work in the past academic year and for giving a home to the
Dundee and Tayside Linux Users Group.
