AUGI Forum Status Update

AUGI and Illiac have reached agreement for the transference of AUGI data.  The agreement was signed by all parties late Monday and includes a mutually agreed timeline for exchange of the data.  Once the data exchange is completed, AUGI can work to incorporate the data in the new AUGI website. 

The AUGI Forums will be the first data restored.  We will be moving back to vBulletin as a Forum platform.  Old data will be restored in its original state.  Forum posts that were created on our new site will be incorporated from the Expression Engine forums as we are able. Once the Forum data is in place and fully tested the existing logins should allow access to all posts as before.

It is expected that all prior Forum posts, avatars, signatures, access levels will be the same as they were.  This may take some verification as we are moving over one million posts and attachments. 

We expect the restoration of the Forums to be completed by January 7th or sooner.

We thank all those that have worked toward a positive outcome within AUGI and Illiac.

AUGI President

The AUGI Board of Directors is pleased to announce the election results of the 2010-year end election.

After 14 days of voting, the official results of the AUGI Board of Directors Year end Election are available. Each of candidates were considered and voted on individually. The candidate with the highest number of votes was elected to serve on the AUGI Board of Directors for a three year term, commencing Jan 2011 – Dec 2013.

Congratulations:

Shaun Bryant (UK)

Please join all of AUGI in welcoming him to the AUGI board.

Departing Members:

Now that the elections are complete, we bid farewell to a long-term board member, Mark Kiker and an international member, Dario Passariello. We wish them both well and hope that they stay connected in some way to AUGI.

Mark Kiker has served for 6 years on the Board and served as president 2008 – 2010.  Mark was instrumental in many of the initiatives over the six years he served, but mostly made great strides in governance, and sales/marketing.

He has served in some way in almost all of AUGI including International development, BLAUGI, Governance, Autodesk University and CAD Camp development. We are glad that he served, worked and became a friend to all the board members and many of you. He will be greatly missed.

Dario Passariello has served for 2 years on the Board. Dario has assisted AUGI greatly in areas of Social Media and Communications and has helped AUGI make some valuable connections to the Media and Entertainment industry focusing on 3ds MAX and MAX Design.
