[Lopsa-regional-project] Some questions I've asked myself while working on austin lopsa

[Travis Campbell]

Hello,

While introducing myself to the events coordinator of AustinLUG via email, I
discovered a few things I just couldn't answer and a quick trip to the website
didn't really help to clear it up.  These are things that could potentially
come up in the future and it would be nice to have a clear, concise answer for
them.  Yes, these are obvious questions with mostly obvious answers;
they're just not obvious enough to me (and, hey, ... the FAQ looks so 
thread-bare ;-).

   *  What is the official name for the group?  What is the incorporated
      name?  

      On the website, I've seen "SAGE, Inc", "The System Administrators 
      Guild, Inc.", and "League of Professional System
      Administrators".  

      I would presume that I should refer to the group as The League of
      Professional System Administrators.

   *  When did LOPSA (as we now know it) officially start?

      http://governance.lopsa.org/index.php/Articles_of_Incorporation
      shows both Oct 29, 2004 for SAGE, Inc, but then a note about 
      refiling as The System Administrators Guild, Inc.  Additionally,
      if you read through the memos to members, on Nov. 14 2005 is
      mentioned as a date where the organization was changed to 
      LOPSA.

      I would presume Nov. 14 is the date I want.

   *  Where can I find the list of board members?  

      I had to stumble around until I found it on About Us page.  I kept
      looking for a node dealing specifically with the Board.

   *  Is there a good, concise history of LOPSA?

      I wasn't part of Usenix/SAGE when the split occurred, so it's difficult
      trying to piece together all the bits and pieces of what's happened
      over the last 18 months based on what's in the member memos.

   *  Where's the LOPSA presentation?

      I'm an idiot and lost the URL again.  Can we get a node set up for it?

   *  How do we get questions added to the FAQ?  Is feedback at lopsa.org the 
      recommended way?
