The devel meeting is an example of such. Having he west side meetings be small business oriented would be cool. In fact, I've been trying to gather interest in doing a Free Software for small/medium business seminar. You haven't been at Stammtisch ( tomorrow night ) or the meetings I've attended, so I haven't talked to you about it. Anyone interested in helping us get a couple of seminars going? I need someone willing to lead the project as the steering committee does not have the time resources needed. > If there is an agreement to handle the 'west side' meetings with this > bent (and not to mirror general stuff of the east side), then I probably > would have a go at it. That is a possibility. We might have something else already running. I'm waiting on confirmation info. That something else might actually lend itself well to some of the small business topics. Personally I would prefer that the small business meeting be somewhat more geographically centered. Craig, thanks for volunteering to help. Let's figure out a way to make it happen! ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.CiscoLearning.org/ # Join the League of Professional System Administrators! https://LOPSA.org/ # wouldn't that be "shopping is hard, let's do math"?
