Information about LUG @ UD
LUG is a Registered Student Organization of the University of Delaware, and as such, officers are undergraduate and graduate students of UD. This does not, however, mean we close our doors to those outside the university. In fact, most of our membership are not students, but live in the surrounding community.
Joining LUG
To join LUG, simply come to the meetings or converse with others on the mailing lists. If you would like to become an officer, get involved in projects and show interest in helping the organization. Anyone interested in presenting on any topic is encouraged to email the president (see Additional Information) or ask at a meeting.
Advisor
Officers
The officers for the coming year are voted on at the last meeting of the school year, in May. This year's officers are as follows:
Stephen Janansky, President
President's responsibilities include keeping officers and members interested in LUG. He or she organizes meetings, and introduces the meeting if someone else is giving a presentation. Most other responsibilities are delegated by the president to his/her officers.
Joshua Marks, Vice President of Membership
The Vice President of Membership organizes the mailing list, and keeps track of new members. Their main gig is Activities Night, where he/she invites people to join the LUG, and makes sure they come to meetings. They are responsible for sending email correspondence to the group and reserving the rooms for the meeting.
Haynes (Burke) Cates, Vice President of System Administration
The Vice President of System Administration is responsible for keeping our servers running 24/7, upgrading software, and purchasing new hardware as needed. He/She must be very familiar with Linux and Solaris system administration, and be able to contact NSS to work on the servers at Chapel Street if needed. This position requires more time than most other positions, but is very rewarding. The Undergraduate VP will assist the Graduate VP with all these responsibilities.
Michael Natrin, Treasurer
The Treasurer keeps track of purchases, organizes our budget, and makes certain people get reimbursed for their time. He/She also orders paraphernalia for the group after a design is approved by the members.
Garret McGraw, Secretary
The Secretary fulfills the requests for assistance by any of the other previous officers. He or she is willing to lend a hand when one is required, and may be responsible to organizing a large event or trip for the group.
Andrew Chester, Web Developer
The Web Developer keeps the website up to date with the latest meeting information, and adds presentation details such as power points or outlines once the meeting has concluded.

Graduate Student Positions
Rodney (Tyler) McGee, System Administration
The Graduate Vice President of System Administration is an appointed position. This is a position for a student who served as Undergraduate VP of System Administration and moved onto Graduate School at UD. While responsible for keeping our servers running 24/7, upgrading software, and purchasing new hardware as needed, they are also responsible for training the new cabinet. He/She must be very familiar with Linux and Solaris system administration, and be able to contact NSS to work on the servers at Chapel Street if needed. This position requires more time than most other positions, but as they know by now, it is very rewarding.
