* Jeff Muse volunteered to update Steering Committee minutes during IRC session.
* Jerry Stutte was only brave soul that went to St. Louis Bread company.
* IRC discussion was way too much technology for flustered Stan R. (he left channel early).
* Gary Meyer maintained telephone dialogue with Stan (concurrent with session).
* Transcript of IRC session was provided to Stan for review later.
* IRC discussion was slow and St. Louis Bread Company threw Jerry out at 9:00 PM.
* IRC session bogged down at about same time as face to face meeting usually does.
* 2011-03
* Observations and opinions by Stan R.
* Few participants had any experience using IRC.
* IRC channel was not private and any somewhat sensitive information may be revealed.
* IRC dialog too hard to follow in real time, transcript not much better.
* IRC participants kept going off on tangent items, making following along difficult.
* Afterwards, others failed to correct, elaborate, or update the Steering Committee minutes.
===== LUGs and Attendance =====
* Craig brought up the topic of LUG attendance.
* Why is STLLUG attendance so low?
* Is it the location?
* Was it the change in location?
* Is it because we have too many local meetings?
* Is it the improving job market?
* With low attendance, we cannot bring in bigger names.
* Telling Red Hat they'll have 15 people to speak with won't get them to come here.
* Craig will post a message to DISCUSS.
* Explain why I'm asking.
