While I have more of a lurker than a participant with PLUG over the years but I have to say you guys (and gals) have taken it very far compared to PLUG's humble begins in the very early 90s. I think I went to my first PLUG meeting in early '94 at the food court in the Arizona Center (when it still had a foot court). The meeting was basically a modest lunchtime affair. I think I hosted the first PLUG installfest soon after..
Gud times.
moin moin,
working on my resume and realized I've been involved with PLUG for a
decade.
In that time we've gone from two monthly meetings to 4 ( 5 once the
HackFest starts ) plug two Stammtische. 7 events every month is a lot!
3 of the 5 need presentations[0] every month and we usually get them covered.
We've greatly expanded the geographical base we cover. We've also gone
through a few mail servers and web servers.
We still have a few people who've been around longer than I have. We can
even thank one person who's still on the list for getting the meetings
started.
We've had ESR in twice and Stallman in once.
We've had a couple of big InstallFests and once again have them monthly.
We're finally putting on a conference.
Overall, I think we've done well and I've certainly enjoyed it.
