Subject: [PLUG] Monthly meetings Message: 2
Hi all, An idea to make the monthly meetings more effective.
Someone should present a small( < 15-20 mins) presentation/demo of any software (Eg. Gaim, Kontact, Mozilla, K3b, etc etc any free software for that matter)
Basically the presentation should concentrate on installation and the use of software.
More importantly, distribute the software in the form of binaries, sources with Documentation to the people on the spot after the meeting. People can come with their own CD, CD-RW or USB drives.
Additional resources required for this are a CD writer at the PLUG meeting, enthusiastic people wanting to share knowledge about software and a coordinator.
I will be happy to volunteer for this kind of effort. -- http://dengineer.blogspot.com
Hi,
As said by Shridhar and others, we do arrange some techie talks/demo/presentations in the plug meetings. Please check out the events page on PLUG website to get some idea.
Every time when I send meeting confirmation mail, I mention about the same thing- if anyone wants to talk- Somehow nobody responds to this. Just a few times people responded positively but never turned up at the meeting. :-(
About your other suggestion of CD-writing on the spot; I dont think it is worth it. People may come up with different requirements and we may not be able to get bandwidth to download the stuff online and burn the CDs immediately.
We can probably announce to send requirements beforehand and burn the CDs accordingly and get them to the meetings.
Well, again if those people don't turn up, your efforts are wasted :-(
PLUG appreciates and encourages your willingness for CD writing. That is a regular and unending task we have.
If you and others can volunteer for CD writing, we are willing to give you that job.
Volunteers, please remember that responsibility and accountability go together. If you take up that properly , authority will come to you automatically.
