This so-called "agenda" was created by shamelessly plagiarizing MadDog's "food for thought" message to gnhlug-org (dated 5 Feb 2004, Message-Id: <20040205211757.C538F428D4@shamet.li.org>).

• most people come to GNHLUG meetings for
  • comradery
  • community
  • knowledge-sharing with peers
  • interesting presentations
  • meeting other "local geeks"
• several people did not like meetings that talked about organization or "promoting Linux" or "politics" or "philosophy"
• we have a range of talent and knowledge from beginner to "It is hard to tell me anything new"
• no one has heaps of time
• no one likes traveling a lot
• some people might like weekend "big meetings", so they can have the time to travel to them and back
• People liked the "fix and break" idea. I would prefer to have more of "how to set up and tune", but that is just me.
• Linux is more than just the kernel...it is perl, python, Apache, embedded Linux
• FUN is definitely part of the package
• Some people are willing to volunteer, but it has to be in manageable chunks of time, and a directed function.
• We have often talked about doing things like video taping talks and putting them up on the net, but somehow it never gets done.
