Hi again everyone,</h3>
<p style="margin:1em 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(96,96,96);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:15px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">Just another reminder about our <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/618849088234205/" style="word-wrap:break-word;color:rgb(109,198,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline">EGM</a></b> this week! It will be on Thursday at 7.00pm in <b>4050B: SL Lecture room(A)</b> in the Arts building. We'll be starting with a talk from veteran pirate <b>Ian Hunter</b>,
giving you a fantastic overview of what Pirates are all about. After
that comes all the EGM stuff! We're going to be voting on some
constitutional changes. These are going to consist of:
</p><ul style="list-style-type:none"><li>Changing the voting method from <b>First Past the Post</b> to <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote" style="word-wrap:break-word;color:rgb(109,198,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline">PR-STV</a></b>.</li><li>Changing the process of electing Ordinary Committee
Members (OCMs) from electing them all as a group and co-opting specific
roles after the election to electing each position separately.</li><li>Fixing a set of minor errors and dead references to since-removed articles.</li></ul>
We're also going to be electing a new <b>Public Relations Officer (PRO)</b>. The <b>PRO</b>
is responsible for promoting events, handling social media, and
generally keeping everyone informed about what's going on with the
society. We're going to need all hands on deck for this one, folks!
There's a lovely thing called a quorum which means if we don't have have
enough crew aboard, we can't get much done. So I expect to see you all
there, shipmates!
<br>
<br>
In the interests of encouraging those whose piratical
instincts might be thwarted by a lack of grub, we'll be heading out to
the Long Stone pub afterwards and sorting ye all out with some <b>Pirate Platters</b>. These are much like ordinary platters - ie. delicious - except that eating them <b>literally battles oppressive copyright law</b>!
Well, not literally. But your presence does make a difference, so make
sure to come along! It'll be a grand night out, where you'll have a
chance to hang out with Pirates.
<br>
<br>
It's ways in the future, and we all know pirates don't plan
ahead, but make a note in your log about the upcoming Hackathon that <b>Pirates</b> are doing in association with <b>Netsoc</b> on <b>Saturday the 18th of October</b>.
It's going to be a free-software focused event, open to all levels of
programming skill, from powder-monkey to veteran quartermaster! Keep the
day free, and we'll be sending ye out more details closer to the date.
<br>
<br>
Keep sailing, pirates!<br>
