I discussed this with Eric yesterday afternoon and prior to him leaving Virginia. I too would have preferred a higher level presentation but I wanted to have something that would meet the needs of the majority of the attendees. Eric is willing to come back sometime for a longer, in depth, high level presentation and I'll make plans for that. With regard to doing a mixture of meeting levels to accommodate our members, I have been in favor of this for some time. It will require some extra efforts and time on our part but I believe it would be the right thing to do for the Linux community and our group. --Blake Blake Parker Associate Director Boston Linux & UNIX mailto:bfp at blu.org http://www.blu.org -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Feldman [mailto:gaf at blu.org] Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 1999 11:10 AM To: discuss at Blu.Org Subject: Last night's meeting. I personally found last night's meeting to be excellent, even with the problem with the overhead projector. A few attendees would have preferred a more technical presentation. One suggestion was to have 2 meetings a month, one being a more technical, less formal meeting, and the other one being the normal BLU meeting. Several user groups in the old Boston Computer Society used to have this type of format. While the Linux community tends to be more technical in general, as Linux grows in popularity, LUGs will need to start focusing on the newer, less technical user. Let's start a discussion about having a Linux tech group with its own meetings and agenda. For this to be successful, we would need to have a leader for it. Another issue is where and when to meet.
