I think that we should be considering "online" options. I doubt (maybe this is
personal
bias) that it will be popular as a full-time alternative, but I support
exploring the
options and trying it out, as I can see how it could fill a void.

Wow, this discussion eggsploded. I was going to respond to a whole bunch of
the posts but I decided to start with one post. It's not a very refined
post as it's basically the core dump that I would have used to create all
my responses. Probably less work for everyone to just see the coredump:

Personally, this has limited appeal. I would want to attend meetings to
meet face-to-face with folks and have a good time. It's also a chance to
get out of the house. I think that would be stifled with a 'webex'
experience. It has as much appeal as those Redhat web conference emails I
get.
This is
Further to my "I wonder" comments about the club future and how we meet,
what IS the state of things out there? Has anyone delved into larger
scale virtual meeting presence? I use telephone conference calls
frequently, Skype on a small infrequent scale and have dabbled in
Asterisk a little.

Thanks to at least 2 people who have offered to serve. That is encouraging.
Locations: From a personal perspective, I support a central meeting location.
However,
I'll repeat my call for concrete suggestions (location, cost, amenities?). I

And in that line, do we want to also include Android, which is based on
Linux, but is a very different ecosystem for end-users, as well as for
developers. At this point, I think we need to better define the scope of
the meetings and users groups. I was recently on the Ottawa Android

I believe the issue of justifying the effort involved in organizing these
events would be resolved if people could more easily attend. As it is,
quite a few people seem disinclined to attend simply because of the
location. The location can stay the same but I think that attendance will
remain an is
The two topics that seem to have generated most response relating to the future
of OCLUG are
- specialist vs generalist meeting topics
- location of meetings
The former is a perennial split, and there is likely no universal resolution,
though it is
possible -- and definitely part of current Bo
It would cool if we could have a poll to see where members preferred to have
the meetings that way the majority would take it.

I have not attended meetings for years - when the meetings moved from
the Lees Algonquin campus downtown, it became painful enough to not
