This was a last minute, hit or miss idea that was floated about. Maybe we should try to come up with a date when everyone is in town so to speak in March and chat over favorite beverages. > What I mean is that if Ed wants to do schools, and Rob wants to do libraries, > then it would be better if they got together and did the "Library and School > project", so as not to dilute the rare and scarce resources that we have. I think at this stage, it is just as well to have people focus on something that excites them. I was just trying to do something for a specific workshop that NHSTE has scheduled. Not a project as such. Beyond that, I think I will work on a library like project and try to help Berube with Centralug. > > I have other thoughts.....like: > > Have a field trip down to USELINUX (a part of USENIX), and have a "LUG day" > down there Excellent idea that could help get disparate people together for a day. >kidnap the > USENIX Linux speakers and take them out on a boat. Take them out to the prison/fort island in the harbor and not let them back till they talk? What I would like to see and what I will advocate for Centralug is a talk on using the Twiki and the Nuke sites, one on the basics of how to program, and encouraging folks to talk about an app or technique or something that interests them. At this point it almost seems like getting the local lugs working well might be he easiest way to build a better and stronger GNHLUG. I think that is how and why the Monadlug became a dynamic engine for change and growth in GNHLUG. So that is where my limited time and energy is more likely to be spent.
