Roles:

The group discussed the roles necessary to accomplish the charter and goals of CTDUG. Everyone preferred to keep it as informal as possible while still ensuring that we keep momentum. The group agreed that the following roles are necessary, and we will rotate the people in these roles on an as needed basis.

Program Coordinator (Don Day) - establishes a program for each meeting (e.g., presentation, demo, or topic of interest)

Meeting Coordinator (Wendy Shepperd) - develops and distributes meeting announcements and meeting minutes

Food Coordinator (Steve Vitali) - plans what we will do for the meal at each meeting

Email List (Andrew Lucchesi) - creates and administers the CTDUG yahoo group
