Thanks to all who came to our second APL Wiki working group meeting
today - for once, more people attended than we were expecting.
Again, some progress was made and good work done but as expected much
of the day was taken up discussing the future changes required by BCS
regarding membership. I had a meeting with Lynne Sturgess and she then
came back to the working group to answer specific questions. As
promised I will summarise the result of that meeting.
The key points are much as we expected;
>membership to any SIG can only made by members of the BCS.
>The minimum membership status is Afiliate which currently costs £35 per year
>Any BCS member at any grade may join up to 5 SIG's at no extra cost.
>The Afiliate category requires no sponsor and requires only a simple form to be filled.
>The first year's fee would be waived, thereafter a normal charge would be made.
>The BCS would be prepared to extend the free membership period beyond 1st April.
>Our Vector publication would (could) be charged for at an extra cost.
>Our membership lists might benefit/grow from other BCS SIG members who are interested in us and what we do.
On the other side of the coin;
