Old Business

Server Admin

SUMMARY: We put up a server on the Internet for email, it grew, and now we have to maintain it.

Web Site SLUUG.ORG Maintenance

SUMMARY: We have a traditional Internet presence with the existence of our main SLUUG web site.

Web Site MEETUP.COM Maintenance

SUMMARY: We have presence on MEETUP.COM.

Continuing Location Requirements

SUMMARY: We need to continuously consider and track alternative meeting locations due to sudden unforeseen changes.

Saint Louis County Library Room Reservations

SUMMARY: Room reservations at Saint Louis County Library Branches are available on each first Saturday of October and April.

Internet Presence on Other Social Media

SUMMARY: We presume that our single web site isn't enough to draw younger crowd.

Uploading Presentations

Camera and Microphone

SUMMARY: We try to record many of our meetings.

Sponsorships

SUMMARY: We seek financial support from the tech community.

ANNOUNCE Mailing List

SUMMARY: As a historical descendant of our monthly newsletter, the ANNOUNCE mailing had been a weekly extract of our SLUUG GOOGLE Calendar of Events. Previous editors had also styled it less of 1 liners of the entire calendar and more of abstracts of OUR talks & outstanding interest items.

Handouts

SUMMARY: We have informational handout PDFs available http://www.sluug.org/resources/handouts/.

Linux Stickers

SUMMARY: Ken Johnson really prefers stickers, rather than stuffed toys!

We Need Help

SUMMARY: We don't have enough volunteers to do everything consistently.

Red Hat contact

Adam R. Motlik in Kansas city is our new potential contact. RHCSA, Sec+, ITILv3, DCSE Mobile: 314.266.8048

Gary met him at the Red Hat MeetUp held on Jan 15 at Granite City Brewery on Olive. (near WWT who seems to be a major customer.) (yyyyyyyyyy :?: was there. He has been to a number of our mtngs and has just changed jobs from Scott AFB to Boeing. Possibly we'll see more of him. Also Jim zzzzzz :?: from Panera Bread. He is manager of a team and has been to a few of our mtngs.)

Adam said that nite that he may become more active with StL, (and particularly SLUUG).

The current contact for the Red Hat MeetUp in StL is <Robert Proffitt ="Monument, CO , Sr. Solution Architect”> who has been the contact for a few years now. He seems familiar with a couple StL account customers, particularly WWT. He's neevr really seemed interested in co-ordinating w SLUUG. This time he seemed less enthusiastic about the actual mtup then previous trips into town. Perhaps he intends to change his role.

He generally seems to demur any knowledge or active role in organizing it, deferring to:

Crystal Murphy="Raleigh, NC . I manage the Meetup and User Group programs for North America for Red Hat. ", Nicole Maselli '"Raleigh, NC. Field Marketing Intern. Supports Crystal Murphy on all NA RHUGs and Meetups".

I've talked to one of these ladies in the past. They SAY they will remember to contact us directly as the local group, but they never do. They seem to just be setting up a mtng schedule when told to do so and then tell Robert he needs to be there on that date with a speaker or 3.

Adam in KC followed up with an e-mail to me on Jan 21 saying …

"Please include me on future correspondence regarding SLUGG".

I don't know if there are internal maneuverings or if Adam is just more interested in being involved. There was also a Red Hatter from Chicago and one from southern Missouri (Springfield?) who both also seemed interested that we were having SuSE in town to speak on CEPF and wished they could stay and be at the CEPH talk! All 3 of these guys seem to be more eager to be involved with user groups. (I THINK I have the Chicago name & contact info also. :?:)

Lee (or anyone else) -who else did we have as a contact with Red Hat? :?:

So…for now, nothing official, but Adam & Chicago & South MO would seem to be our most likely/willing contacts.
