If you are interested in attending, please announce your participation to board@lists.swisspug.org. The entrance from the Leonhardstrasse closes at 19:00. Please call +41 44 632 26 49 when you stand in front of the building. We will pick you up. The phone will be attended until 19:30. The Swiss PostgreSQL Users Group will be created as an association according to the Swiss law. You can find the current draft of the bylaws in German on our website. The bylaws describe the goals and rules of the association. Please read them in advance in order to optimize meeting time and to make sure that you can basically commit to them. Voting participants will implicitly become members and enter the obligations that will be discussed in the assembly. This applies in particular to the payment of the yearly membership contribution as soon as the association will have an official account. You are equally welcome if you are interested in attending but do not want to enter any obligation. In that case you are not eligible to vote, although your ideas in the discussion are very welcome anyway. Every contribution is welcome. In particular we welcome ideas about activities (point 10 on the agenda) even better if this goes along with an interest in actively help organizing them. If there are points missing on the agenda from your point of view, please submit proposals for point 11 (varia) until April 3rd, 2015 to board@lists.swisspug.org. Language: Depending on the audience, the participants may agree on German instead of English. This will be decided at the beginning of the session. Agenda 1. Opening 2. Election of the chairperson of the meeting 3. Revision of the bylaws (Statuten) 3.1. short discussion of each paragraph, where necessary 3.2. constitution of the board 4. Approval of the bylaws as a whole 5. Candidates for the board 6. Election of the board 7. Amount of the yearly members contributions 8. Summary of logo proposals 9. Election of a logo 10. Ideas for future activities 11. Varia 12. Closing After the assembly those who are interested may join us (the organizers of the assembly) for an informal dinner somewhere to be defined. Unfortunately the association does not have a budget yet. This means that you are expected to cover the cost of your dinner yourself. Looking forward to your contributions. For the constituent board Markus Wanner, Charles Clavadetscher
