Hi As OCLUG discusses the future, I would like you to also consider what we do, what our Vision is.
Vision – a plan or direction for OCLUG * Bring together great people and great presenters, from all over the Linux-related industry in Ottawa * Reach out to other people and groups in Ottawa * More participative events, hands on What would that vision lead us to do? * Exciting events * That could be weekend events or monthly evening events * Industry related events like the “Getting your next Gig” meeting * Technical presentations and events * Speakers from all over: companies, other user groups, college and universities * Interaction with the community * Algonquin, U of O, Carleton, maybe even high schools * their Comp Sci clubs, professors, departments * Share speakers in both directions, participate in each others events * Businesses * talking about Linux and OCLUG with their employees – forwarding our announcements? Put up posters? * Funding big events, sponsorships * Work with other clubs in Ottawa * Present at other clubs * Share costs of bringing in speakers * Tell them about our meetings, speakers, events * Invite speakers from other clubs to repeat at our meetings * Software industry user group extravaganza * Propose we do this next September * Outside events * Symposiums and other events for knowledgeable users * We already support these. Continue! Talk about it with other user groups! * Reach out to new users * Leavitt Memorial Seminars * C4C * John Nash has other ideas and is willing to help organize this * Games * My son won't let me forget that he really enjoyed the last Game Day! * More ideas!
