meeting discussion

[Jon Reagan]

Hello everyone,

A short while ago we held an IRC meeting to discuss several topics,
and now I want to bring them in front of you so we can discuss them in
greater detail.

The first topic that was discussed was an important one -- growing the
team. The general consensus is that this could be best done by
holding events like face to face meetings, installfests, etc. and
passing out information about the team. The main idea is to just be
able to get more people involved.

This lead to the discussion around events.. face to face meetings were
mentioned, but what kind of events would y'all like to see this year?

Thanks!

Jon

Outdoor picnic. There are plenty of great places in the area.

[Jon Reagan]

That's a pretty good idea. I think the only problems we will run into
is finding a place that is good for laptops and how to provide the
food. I imagine a few will bring laptops. Perhaps a restaurant with
wi-fi? If the weather is nice we could pick one with outdoor
seating... I think our main problem would be picking a good location
to meet. There are plenty of places intown but I would like to know
which areas that would be most convenient for you all to travel to.

Thanks,

Jon

In the mean time, what you guys could do to help promote the group is
go to some of the local install fest that are coming up. I will reach
out to Aaron to get a list. Right now I know those are very heavy
Buntu users, and if we can get openSUSE there, that would be a big
plus.

Chuck,

That's a good idea, I say we run with it.

Here's a concept worth investigating...

Wow, thanks for the link Bill! It looks like their next meeting will
be on the 6th, this Saturday. I might actually be able to make it to
that meeting...

I joined their group. Tucker is a bit far for me and in the wrong
direction so I'll pass on the meeting.
