MEMBERS - PAST OFFICERS
This page lists all of LUGOD's previous elected officers
(root, sys, typescript and /dev/null), for posterity.

from December 1998), with help from others in the Davis community.
Our Bylaws and Constitution were ratified in August 1999. We received
501(c)7 non-profit status in March 2000.
Note: This page was first created nearly 6 years after LUGOD was formed!
Did we forget anyone or get any details wrong? If so, please contact the
