I think part of the waning interest in GNHLUG meetings is related to them becoming a lecture series instead of a *user group*. Get people together first. There's nothing keeping anyone from arranging a presentation, but the focus should be community, not speaking. If presentations are the focus, then when there's no speaker, there is less interest. But if "just meeting" is the norm, then if there's a speaker, that's just gravy. Plus, I believe simple gatherings of friendly people would be more useful to Linux newcomers, which is something GNHLUG has been struggling to attract. And it's certainly less work for organizers to just get together with like-minded comrades than it is to organize a presentation every month. :) I always thought the idea of a Manchester meeting had the benefit of being fairly centrally located for the southern population centers. It's convenient to Nashua and Concord, and reasonable for the seacoast and Monadnock regions. That said, I'm all for meetings in Manchester, Nashua, both, or anywhere else people want to meet. Again, the above is my opinion. Anyone organizing anything is free to organize whatever they want. The decisions go to the doers, not the peanut gallery. Alas, I'm way too busy in Real Life(TM) right now to contribute anything to organizing efforts. -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

I had been talking with Ben about starting to organize a Manchester- area meeting, but with the holiday and personal stuff it got back- burnered. I've recently been giving it some thought again, and it's probably time to get the ball rolling. So, with that out there, are there people interested in a Manchester meeting who wouldn't be interested in reviving the Nashua group? -- Chip Marshall http://weblog.2bithacker.net/ KB1QYWPGP key ID 43C4819E v4sw5PUhw4/5ln5pr5FOPck4ma4u6FLOw5Xm5l5Ui2e4t4/5ARWb7HKOen6a2Xs5IMr2g6CM pgpltweCX1Sgs.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
MerriLUG or Manchester meets planned? + Twitter
MerriLUG'ers we haven't met in a good long time. I remember having a conversation during the GNHLUG birthday-bash about having Manchester-area meetings in lieu of Nashua. Anything new on this? If any Nashua-area members want to assist me in putting together a MerriLUG meeting again, please e-mail me (off-list) and we can try to coordinate. Ideally, we should start with speakers. *** If you'd like to give a talk in Nashua, please please please let me know. *** Also, I've created a twitter list with several GNHLUG members on it, if you want to be added, drop me a line with your twitter username or mention me: @kentakoga and something about GNHLUG and I'll add you to the list.
