[NBLUG/talk] General elections now open for 2015

[Omar Eljumaily]

Perhaps with remote meeting technology that people have been talking about?

I actually live in Santa Rosa, but mostly find myself to tired to drive 
to Sebastopol in the evenings, so I'd be interested in remote meeting 
apps as well.
