Even something would be better than the nothing we have now. I know the perfectionist in you wants to clean them up before you release them for public consumption, but sometimes reality must trump perfection. :) > up to his eyeballs getting the Pepperell library presentation > ready. for TONIGHT. Suggestion: Be more active in asking for help. :) I saw your announcements on this, and I know you received offers for help from me and others at SFD in Nashua, but I can't recall ever seeing a request or even a list of things to do. I'm starting to seriously worry that this group is going to implode because everybody is trying to do everything themselves and won't involve anyone else. Given the nature of FOSS, I find this almost painfully ironic. Which reminds me: I *still* need to call the bank. :-( -- Ben ___ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/

Possible ideas: (1) If you have a scanner, scan them and send the images to me. (2) Will you be at the meeting tonight? Bring them and I'll make photocopies while you're there. (3) Any way I can pick them up after the meeting, circa 10 to 11 PM? > contemporaneously, as primary minutes *should* be. Total agreement on the "contemporaneously" part. Disagree with the idea that any and all minutes must be hand-written. It's the 21st century. Even Congress does things electronically now. That said, if the best way for *you* to keep notes is on paper, that's obviously the way you should be doing it. > Want to be secretary? If someone else wants to be treasurer.

The "I have to do everything myself and not involve others" phenomenon. > Getting people to volunteer is difficult in the proprietary world, too. Volunteers we have. I see a lack of people making use of them. I frequently practically have to pull teeth to get others to accept help. We've had people threaten to quit because of other people doing things. So I honestly say: What. The. Fuck? >> Which reminds me: I *still* need to call the bank. :-( > > Q.E.D. The damn banks are all closed whenever I call them. :-( In all honesty, I'd have an easier time transcribing notes. I can do that at 2 AM. Speaking of which, I gotta run again... damn... -- Ben ___ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/
