Quoting Mel Walters <melwalt...@telus.net>:
Only Dave has stepped up so far for talks/demos, but some meetings end
up having a maelstrom of enjoyable group discussion.
Attend, so you will not miss anything. Come and make new friends and
also reconnect.
See you there!

The PDF version mandateRevisit.pdf is too big (95K) to add to the email

Calgary Linux Users Group (or Guild) Mandate
To encourage and promote the use of free[footnote:
Free as in freedoms
] and open source software.[footnote:
This was mostly by memory, as I did not yet find the original
statement
]
How is it going so far
1 Introspection (To look within)
1.1 What works so far
1.2 Maturity of the desktop
1.3 Missed the moving target?
1.4 Listening to the customer
1.4.1 Who is the customer?
? Computer/device users in general
1.5 What do they want?
? Value for their time and money
? Ease of start up
? Low maintenance costs (time and money)
? That it just will work!
? Compatible with and maximizes hardware performance
2 Adapting to change
? The customers can change (come and go, change in metrics)
? Technology in vogue
? Main point being: Give them what they want and exceed their
expectations, OR lose the customer
3 Keep the basics simple
? Expand on the I want it all part only when simple is already covered
