Giving You the Westercon Business

[kevin_standlee]

The Westercon Business Meeting was this morning. The only business was the formal announcement of the 2015 Westercon Site Selection results. There were 113 total ballots cast, of which 105 had a preference, and therefore 53 votes were needed to elect (majority). San Diego, the only bid on the ballot, received 92 votes, with 5 for None of the Above, 2 for Reno, and 9 other individual write-in votes. Here's the video of the meeting:

It may not be obvious, but there was a quorum of at least 15 members present. Most of them were sitting behind where Lisa was running the camera, as we discovered that we get much better sound and video quality if she works from mid-room away from the air vent. Regrettably, San Diego's video presentation was very low-contrast, and therefore doesn't show up well in the video. Lisa points out that it was hard to read in the room where she was standing behind the camera.

There was no other business, so after San Diego made their presentation and answered some questions, the meeting adjourned sine die. There will therefore be no proposals forwarded to Salt Lake City for action.

I apologize for the quality of the presentation slides. I put them together quickly the night before, using a new program (Open Office's presentation system was acting consistently flakey during our work on the presentation for the inquisition, I used Keynote instead). I had only viewed the slides on my screen when editing and on the TV in my room, so I missed the contrast and font thickness issues.
