I say we make the next poll question read thus: Who is your favorite
UUG-er from the "glory days"? Here are my selections (in no particular
order):
- Stuart Jansen
- Evan McNabb
- Michael Halcrow
- Grant Robinson
- Jon Jensen (both of 'em)
- Ross Werner
- Glen Wagley (the dude's hilarious)
- Art Moore
- Jason Holt
I hope I haven't forgotten anyone. I hope the UUG lives on forever. The
input and feedback from people like these have helped form who I am and
helped me become more dangerous (and political) than I ever thought
possible. Thanks everybody.
If we're worried about the current state of the union, why don't we
solicit input from the old-timers? They may have suggestions for helping
us relive the glory days. Art? Stuart? Evan? Any thoughts?
Here are my thoughts:
- review the content of the UUG meetings
- encourage technical and innovative conversations on the list (it's
been a while since it was substantially more than chit-chat)
- make specific requests to individuals when volunteers are in short
supply (I know I'm setting myself up with that one)
- pizza & sodas; "the mooch factor's pretty high in this crowd" :-)
Viva la geek!
