The AGM will be held to elect a new executive committee for the organisation. Duties of the executive committee are mostly administrative and include considering applications for funding from open source groups and initiatives such as the bimonthly OSDClub meetings and Open Source Developers' Conference, and providing an umbrella organisation to Australian open source user groups such as the Melbourne Perl Mongers and the Melbourne PHP Users Group.
Organisation of the Open Source Developers' Conference, bimonthly meetings, user groups and other associated groups that operate under the banner of the Open Source Developers' Club are performed by their respective organisers and the OSDClub executive committee members will not be required to assist in these areas as part of their position on the executive committee. They may of course elect to assist of their own accord.

Valid nominations will be those where two members have nominated the same person for the same position. For the purposes of nominations, a member will be considered to be a person who was a member of the OSDC Announce list at the time this AGM was formally announced.
To make the nomination process as efficient as possible, please email nominations from the same email address that you are subscribed to the OSDC Announce list.
The positions for nominations are:
- 1 x President (Committee Chair)
- 1 x Vice-President
- 1 x Secretary
- 1 x Treasurer
- 2+ x Ordinary Committee Members
Everyone is welcome at the AGM. This is a grass roots effort and we need all the help we can get.
