<br> Seems like we're not going to combo our<br>April bayPIGgies meeting with the EMTECH<br>OLPC bunch.<br> Looks like newbies night for April 12. Yes<br>or no, either way we need help. i'm assuming<br>Yes, in which case "we" have to organize the
<br>suggestions from the February email and<br>organize a presentation, including getting<br>speakers.<br> My personal tho't is that the suggestions<br>are mainly best practices tips that could<br>benefit from underlying design points--
<br>i.e. supplement the how with the how-come.<br> Chad hopes to set up a wiki for us to use<br>to collaborate on this.<br><br> Time's a-wastin' as we have to make a<br>program, get some speakers, and promote
<br>the night not only to our membership but to<br>other groups.<br> Volunteers are welcome.<br><br> To those who vehemently oppose newbies<br>night for this coming meeting, please accompany<br>your objections with alternate proposals.
</blockquote><div><br><br>My alternate proposal is that we have a simple meet and greet night. All "open space" the entire night. Since many people will have gone to the OLPC presentation the night before, I suspect our attendance will be quite low. (Many people can't make it to two events in the same week) I also think planning a Newbies Night for May would be better - give us some leadtime. (Since our leadtime basically got derailed by the OLPC conversation this month..)
