Annual General Meeting

Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2011 Annual General Meeting. An enjoyable time was had by all.

Many hands made light work of the proceedings with a great BBQ provided by Shadey, James and co. and everyone pitching in to help with the setup and tear-down of the chairs and tables. The wifi competition generated a lot of interest with (from what I can tell) a range of techniques being applied and quite varied results between the contestants. Unfortunately time was short and not everyone was able to have a go, but we will try to do something similar in the future. In the end Remy was victorious with his 802.11n configuration, and took home the lovely LG monitor kindly provided by Aspitech.

Congratulations go to the new committee of 2012. We extend our warm thanks to the previous team members who are taking a break this year. Chris (drgeforce3) has put in a tremendous amount of work over the past 5 years in both building and maintaining the network, as well as developing new prospects for network growth and helping with office duties. We hope he can continue to do this in a similar capacity into the future. Duncan has served the group well over the past few years coordinating memberships and providing useful analytics from historical membership data. And of course our retiring Secretary Shadey will be missed but we hope to see more of him at the usual places such as the ASLAN kitchen and vending all the latest wireless equipment at the monthly meetings.

Hope you all have a safe and relaxing Christmas. Remember there is no December meeting, but we look forward to catching up in January at the usual time and place to kick off the new year!

Air-Stream Wireless Incorporated still remains one of Australia's most active and largest community wireless groups demonstrating a marked increase in new members and new AP Nodes sprouting up around Adelaide.

There was a good turn-out by members for the 2006 AGM and the meeting was a very a relaxed and enjoyable evening.
It was a warm pleasant summer evening, perfect weather for a BBQ and there was plenty of discussion about how well the network is progressing. There was a working display demonstrating the level of analogue activity that also uses the 2.4Ghz Band, and a number people brought along the new Parabolic Grid and Collinear Antennas that where recently purchased.

The 2005 Annual General Meeting was held at Parkside Primary School on the 30th of November.

Members voted on the night for the next years Committee. Eight positions were available; Chairman, Secratary, Treasurer and five general positions.

Annual general meetings are held once a year between September and November. Its is like any other meeting but also members get to vote who will members of the committee for the next twelve months. They are held at the same place as the general meetings.

Nominations can be made before the AGM to the current committee.

It is often misunderstood what the role, purpose and who the committee is, however the principle of the committee is quite simple.
