September 3, 2010
Article I. Name
1. This organization shall be the Linux User Group of California State
University, Chico, hereafter referred to as CSLUG.
Article II. Purposes
1. The purpose of CSLUG is to promote, discuss, and educate people about the
Linux operating system in all environments and areas.
Article III. Membership
1. Qualifications of Members
a) Any member of CSLUG must have an interest in Linux and/or other operating
systems that serve as alternatives to products sold by Microsoft
Corporation, and which bear some similarity to the UNIX operating system.
b) All persons who wish to maintain membership in CSLUG must join the
official CSLUG mailing list. The email address used must be valid and the
email must be regularly checked by the CSLUG member.
c) Any person not registered as a student at CSU Chico shall, if so desired,
be considered an associate member of CSLUG if they pass all other
membership requirements and have attended at least one CSLUG meeting.
Associate members are not eligible to vote in CSLUG elections or hold

CSLUG officers. The CSLUG officers retain the right to limit or withdraw
the privileges of associate members at any time.
2. Assessments and Dues
a) There are no assessments or dues required to join or maintain membership

reasonable fee to participants for special events where CSLUG would
otherwise incur a financial burden.
3. Membership Termination
a) Membership of any CSLUG member may be terminated by 2/3 vote of the other
members of CSLUG. A vote to terminate a member must be anonymous and must
be taken at a regularly scheduled meeting set forth by the CSLUG
President. A notice of membership termination must be posted to the club
mailing list within 24 hours of the vote stating who is going to be
terminated, the effective date of the termination, and a clear statement
of the reason for termination.
