Re: The NOW of CLUG

Hello all,

I am relatively new to Calgary and saw CLUG just recently (end of last 
year). I was excited because I looked for contacts in that direction. I 
was disappointed when I found our website: no updates for a long time. 
So I joined this mail list and read something like 'this club is dying' 
which I do not hope!
Is the group missing ideas of what to talk about? Ask your members (BTW: 
how many are we?). Exactly that happened at an AGM in another group I am 
a member of. Guess what: Ideas of ideas were shouted to the execs, it 
was awesome.
Can our execs organize some speakers with interesting topics, probably 
new developments? One idea: Ubuntu on Win10 - does it really work (just 
my two cents).
And my last point: clean up internal stuff _internal_, not on this 
mailing list, but do it. The question of bringing <no matter what> up to 
date is no question at all.
I would love to join and meet this group physically because Linux is 
fun! And problems to solve is way easier in a group (I prefer a 'real' 
meeting).

Just my two cents. Keep up your work!
Frank
