[olug] Next Meeting

[Kevin Flanagan]

Here's my 2 cents ;')

I don't like weekend meetings, I'd prefer a weeknight, but it's a group, do
what works for the majority.

I think that a central area would work best for a lot.  Although it's not
really central, I bet I could get a conference room for the meeting out at
Chalco, I think that it's a bit closer to middle ground than Bellevue or
North West Omaha.


I strongly agree with the structure bits, it doesn't have to be too
structured, just a bit.  That way we might be able to get some vendors a
little easier.  The NT UG that I go to has a different vendor every month,
they buy pizza too, part of the deal.  I expect that this group wouldn't
want, or have takers, from a lot of vendors, but it doesn't hurt to try a
little bit.


I think that the attention to an easier topic for part of the meeting is
good.  There's things, that many of us just don't bother to take the time to
figure out, the example of making MP3s is a good one.


That's my $.02, FWIW.
