I would not mind helping with the web page. I do not have that much experience with the web design but I have marked up some stuff before ().

Now we regularly have 60-75 -> people show up at -> the Boys & Girls Club each month. Impressive, by any -> standard! I am sure -> that a premanent location and the new format have a lot to -> do with the increase -> in attendance, as does Jiva, who has guided PLUG to where it -> is today, and -> Wes, who got us the space at the B&G Club. The question -> that faces PLUG -> now is "Where does PLUG want to go tomorrow?". -> -> As you all know, Wes is in Texas (with all our best wishes). He -> made every attempt to insure that PLUG can still meet at the -> B&G Club, -> if we want. We are moving the Thursday meeting location meetings to -> accommodate more members. PLUG has simply outgrown the room -> at the B&G -> Club. The ceiling is not space. So what is this ceiling? -> -> Bodies! Plain and simple! The ceiling is bodies, bodies -> willing to help -> PLUG and Linux and the Open Source community in the Phoenix -> metro area. -> Jiva has guided the Thurdsay meetings quite nicely, but it would be a -> unfair to ask him to accept any additional responsibilities. -> There are a -> myriad of other things that PLUG can be doing, but no one -> has stepped up to -> say "I will lead that project". -> -> Want an example? Remember hearing that we need someone who -> will maintain the -> PLUG website? If you want to know the answer, take the tip -> of your index -> finger and place it against the tip of your thumb. See the -> big zero formed by -> this action? That is the number of responses we got. We -> know that Justin has -> run out of time to maintain the website. When no one steps -> up to co-ordinate -> PLUG website maintenance, what do we do? I had to give more -> of my time to update -> the PLUG website with information about June's meeting. -> Guess everyone was waiting -> until one of the people who are keeping PLUG going to step -> up and do the webmaster job too. -> -> Plain and simple - Jiva has told everyone that he has -> committed all of the -> time to PLUG that he can. I could do it, but it would put a -> strain on my time -> too. Hans? Ken? They have things that they are working on -> already. Wes is -> in Texas, so who does that leave? I think that is a -> question that you should -> be asking someone whose butt is sitting in your chair. -> -> Who knows how many other things are out there that PLUG -> could be doing? Who -> knows how many other projects could be done to help lead the -> Phoenix computing -> community into the future? As of right now, we cannot even -> get a body to -> coordinate our own website. Guess we will never know where -> PLUG will be -> going until somebody steps up and says "I will lead that project". -> -> ------------------ -> Calendar of Events -> ------------------ -> -> -> -> June, 2000 -> -> 08 PLUG Meeting -> 09 TheLinuxStore/EBIZ Linux Seminar -> 13 AZSAGE Meeting -> 20 Linux Stammtisch -> 21 ASULUG Meeting -> -> July, 2000 -> -> 11 AZSAGE: Bringing NT and UNIX Together. -> 13 PLUG Meeting -> 18 Linux Stammtisch -> 19 ASULUG Meeting -> -> ------------- -> The Addresses -> ------------- -> -> farli@wiredglobal.com -> http://plug.phoenix.az.us -> -> -- -> Jim -> -> Zope is cool! -> -> _______________________________________________ -> Plug-announce mailing list - Plug-announce@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us -> http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce -> -> -> _______________________________________________ -> Plug-discuss mailing list - Plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us -> http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss ->
