Hi All, (for 'this' eMail, I won't say LUGers)
and for those who weren't there last night, Merriest Xmas.
Last night was nice but disappointing as so few of
our original LUGers bothered to come or even respond - and
what a HUGE opportunity lost by most of those members as we
had a contact in the professional music biz looking for
tech help (I mean $BIG bucks potential.) Your loss..
Thanx Murph for your presentation - hope you got useful
feedback from we few...
2o11 has been, to say the least, a tough haul to keep
our band of merry men and women together.
We tried with Converge in Union (nice offer from Steve,
but he went out of business-the way of so many small
businesses these past two years) and since then we've been
trying out different places - but had little feedback from
members as to likes or dislikes of places or locations.
( we can't read minds )
My findings: Pros Cons
Houlihans - easy to get to a bit noisy
(last night) plenty of parking need to buy food
nice big room must have 12 minimum
with long table to reserve room for us
Panara - easy to get to need to buy minimum food
plenty of parking may get double bookings
fair sized quiet room out by 10ish
good coffee/food
CoolBeans - cozy place bit small & limited parking
good coffee/food can't be reserved, out by 10ish
need to buy minimum food
tougher to get to
(except for Larry) :)
Let me know your findings or, in the majority of cases,
preferences..
It's a BIG pity so few of you appear to be interested in
coming to our meetings or supporting our group any more. After
being to many over the past 23-24 years NJ Linux has been in
existence (started out as an Os2 group), I've seen a lot of
great/helpful people that have appeared to just disappear - -
probably lost interest - but how are we to know why (unless you
just don't want us to know)!?!?! What happened to that friendly
and helpful spirit. Was it something I said, did, or didn't do
??????????????????????????
I'll continue to try to find us a new home and, due to the
interest in our http://MeetUp.com/NJLinux side, may start a 2nd
monthly meeting towards the south and west of northern NJ.
I also think we will start to remove those LUG members from our
mailing list that have nothing to say. We've had some members
that don't come to meetings but let us know they appreciate that
we are 'hanging in there' - it only took 'them' a few minutes,
is 'that' too much to ask from you (U no hoo u r) ??
Let us know if you DON't want removing from the list.
If I owned the venue, like our last two hosts did/do, it
would be much easier, but running around looking for places and
meeting with owners of possible locations (visited 4 last month)
takes a lot of time and effort (not ALL by me,) so a little
feedback would make life so much easier - -
Is that too much to ask ????????????????????
Hope you all have a GrEaT 2o12,
Nick. . . . .
