<pre wrap="">I'm happy to offer our downtown office/NOC space for the linux meetings.
Pizza/wings..etc will be provided by my company. Parking is free on
weekends.
Regarding the dues, please don't take what I suggested as anything but a
very small probability. (probably like 10% chance).
Even if there were dues, they won't start until at least a year from now.
Please take any ideas about dues out of your mind..

Subject: Re: [nflug] Meeting on October 20
We hadn't got that far yet, and even farther, what to do with them...Of
course, I wouldn't be opposed to dues going to the purchase of fortification
(pizza/wings/etc) during the meetings, but that would be step 3 or 4, and
we're currently on step 0 (I'm a C coder, dammit!)

<pre wrap="">There will be an NFLUG meeting on October 20, 2007. Location is at
ITT Technical Institute, 2295 Millersport Hwy Getzville NY 14068. Go
in the "Student Entrance" Turn Right, and it is in Lab 7.
There is no topic yet for this meeting. Last time Mark had an
excellent presentation on Home automation.
There were some points brought up that may be of interest.
The first is that we initially held the meetings at 1:30 because ITT
classes got out at 1:00. Now ITT classes are finishing at 12:30 or
earlier, and we can probably hold the meeting at 1:00 pm or earlier.
So the first question, would 1:00 pm be a better time?
Second (and Mark can fill in more details here) there is an idea in
affiliating the NFLUG with InfoTech Niagara. This will potentially
do a couple of things. First is boost membership, as people dealing
with Linux will learn about the LUG. Plus, Some ITN members will be
inclined to look at membership in a more career enhancing manner.
More membership, especially from the professional world can get
better meetings, more varied presentations, better networking
opportunities for those people looking to break into the industry
(students, pay
attention!)
Now the bad news, we will probably need to set up some kind of dues
schedule, at least for those attending meetings. No, this won't be
excessive, and there should be things like student memberships, etc.
That said, there are good things that can come from that, too. Does
anyone have any comments on this ..
(Note, if you've never attended a meeting, and never have any plans
on attending a meeting, because you live in Kansas or something,
please don't flame the list. Since it won't affect you one way or
another, there is nothing to be gained except a reputation as an
Internet Tough Guy)
Mark was also mentioning holding meetings at his new digs. Would
downtown Buffalo be more convenient for people? ITT has been good to
us, but some people have expressed problems with getting there,
especially on public transportation. We won't do this move without
plenty of warning, and of course, if Mark has changed his mind, that
will be another issue...:-)
As always, if there is anyone with something new and cool to show,
please let me know, and we'll revolve the meeting around you.
