[linux] PROXIES and other AGM matters
Further to Scott's meeting announcement for April 4 at Centennial Library (Bells Corners), starting at 18:30 I'd like to underline the importance of sending a PROXY, even if you plan on attending. Just let us know to ignore the proxy if you show up. There are always life events that mean you fail to show. We've always made quorum, but it has been close sometimes. The consequences of quorum failure are costly. In the case of the Amberwood Village Recreation Association last year, quorum failed by 1. And despite its name, AVRA owns the land of the golf course. So there's some significant underlying asset. And we need to adjust the bylaws after about 35 years to recognize electronic communications, but now must wait until the next general meeting. There's a form below. You can send to Scott or to me or nominate someone else who'll be there. I'll try to ensure some record of the meeting is posted. Sorry if we didn't do a great job last year.

[linux] Is there an OCLUG-related place where I can advertise local training?
In the very near future, I want to start offering some of my regular Linux and Linux-related courses locally, either single-client, on-site courses, or general public courses, most likely at a shared co-working space called CoWorkly (https://www.coworkly.ca/) on Montreal Rd. I don't want to use this list to spam members with constant marketing about what is coming up, but if there was somewhere that one could list Linux-related technical training (for anyone offering such classes, not just me), that would be great. Lately, I've been doing a lot of Git training (both intro and advanced), and I'm currently putting together some courseware on container technology (podman, Buildah, skopeo, all that Docker-related stuff) and should have an intro course in about a month. And, of course, there's a pile of other basic Linux courses I can teach if the demand is there. I like to think that the value of this to the local Linux community is that there would be a local source of *affordable* training, where local employers wouldn't have to send their folks out of town and pay outrageous registration, so that's part of my sales pitch, as it were. In any event, I'm open to suggestions as to how to promote this idea to people who'd be interested, without turning it into constant marketing. Thoughts? rday -- Robert P. J.
