New wiki page: For Presenters / Speakers
by Michael Paoli 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Well, I/we had earlier mentioned potentially doing something like this. May still be at least a somewhat rough version, but put up the wiki page: http://www.balug.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagenam… It may not be very polished yet, and probably doesn't have all the information it ought to, but at least it consolidates the stuff that's otherwise scattered about a bunch of (archived) e-mails (many of which update earlier ones), and is at least a hair more organized than a straight dump of those various texts. Hopefully I/we will polish it more, but at least in the meantime it should be at least fairly useful. references: http://www.balug.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagenam… http://www.balug.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index http://www.balug.org/

Re: [balug-admin] Marilyn Davis 11/21 speaker accepts, etc.
by Michael Paoli 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

I think we're *mostly* covered on that. I'm running behind on a few things, but intend to have those caught up quite shortly. Do we have any particular short and somewhat longer blurbs regarding the talk/presentation, and also anything like a very short mini-bio on our speaker? (I think we may have some of that among the e-mail exchanges and such ... I'll look over those again also). I intended to update the BALUG website a while ago, but haven't gotten to that, ... I should have that done before the sun comes up tomorrow. Also - announcement - I'll at least draft a version of that, aiming for draft completion before sun up tomorrow, and intending to send out the actual announcement late tomorrow evening/night. For the announcement I have - information about our meeting on 2006-11-21 and speaker and such, and mention of no meeting in Dec. Anything else to prepare to include for announcement? I think we'd also send a "reminder" announcement a few days before the meeting (e.g. 2006-11-16 or so).

Informing speakers/presenters about presentation equipment/facilities
by Michael Paoli 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

For informing speakers/presenters about presentation equipment/faclities, (e.g. video projection) etc., this covers things pretty well (particularly when also following the URLs that it also references): http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-admin-balug.org/2006-August/000231.h… I like the wiki idea suggested earlier though, ... probably ought to create a wiki page and put the information there, ... that way it could be in one persistent place, and also get updated/tweaked as/when appropriate.

Speaker Coordination wiki page!
by Michael Paoli 13 Oct '06

13 Oct '06

The idea(s) (Thanks Jim Stockford & others!) were too good not to implement, so: http://www.balug.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagenam… I populated it with relevant key information I had in much of my (semi-)recent e-mails and such ... mostly from when we/I started dealing with the "mad scramble" to come up with replacement speaker for this past August's meeting, ... certainly got a fair number of potential leads/suggestions following that. (Not sure I've gotten all those leads/suggestions "squeezed" out of my e-mail and onto that wiki page, but probably have at least most of them so far ... still going through some of the yet more recent e-mail). Let me/us know if you think there are ways we should change how it's organized or formatted on the wiki page or whatever. I also generally listed folks as "Person(s) leading or to contact about" for who would (at least presumably) be the lead contact for varous speakers/presenters/groups - do feel free to change that as may be appropriate (heck, that really does apply to that whole web page, after all - at least as we're at least approximately in agreement on how the stuff should be changed and updated). And if you forget where that wiki page is: http://www.balug.org/ --> Wiki --> Speaker Coordination One likely has to login to edit the wiki pages. Since the self-registration on that is semi-broken (appears it starts the process, but fails to e-mail you the initial password), let me/us know if you hit that problem, and we can manually set a password for you and send it to you (and you can then change that and your other user details). references/excerpts: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-admin-balug.org/2006-October/000261.… http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-admin-balug.org/2006-October/000274.… http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-admin-balug.org/2006-October/000276.…

October speaker update
by John Mark Walker 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

So I got in touch with Pat McGovern of Splunk re: the upcoming meeting. As it turns out, no one had been in touch with him, so he wasn't confirmed in the least. So... if it's ok, I can probably convince him to give a talk. The other options would be... 1. Rick M., as mentioned previously 2. Doug MacEachern, mod_perl creator, CTO of Hyperic 3. I could probably get one of Larry Augustin, any of the SugarCRM guys, or one of the 6 Apart guys (who are working on some interesting projects) Let the discussion commence. Do any of you know who originally suggested Pat McGovern? It turns out that he was scheduled to speak in August, but he was given the wrong date, so my vote would be to get him confirmed if possible, since he was kind of given the runaround last time - at least, according to him. -JM

BALUG website updated
by Michael Paoli 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

I've updated the BALUG website. It can probably use more tweaking/polishing, but at least the basic information on speaker/presentation for the 2006-10-17 meeting is now on the web page. If no one else beats me to it, I'll probably polish it up a bit by around the time we have our "announcement" polished off and sent out (as by then we may have additional details on how we may want to tweak text regarding speaker/presentation for the 2006-10-17 meeting).

Re: [balug-admin] Bay Area Linux Users Group Speaker for 2006-10-17 meeting?
by Michael Paoli 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

Excellent. Thank you Patrick, and John. (Bcced to Patrick McGovern; also, FYI Patrick: the balug-admin(a)lists.balug.org list is publicly archived and includes the BALUG speaker coordinators, plus more folks that also do and/or are interested in following other BALUG administrivia (planning, etc.) matters). Patrick - John may have already asked/mentioned this, but we could use suitable "blurbs" for web site, etc. (we have at least one older one, see also information further below, including reference to the one we have from earlier). You can send/reply to the "speaker coordinators" (from some of the earlier e-mail sent to you), or to this list if you prefer. We have earlier description ("longish blurb" description) on: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-announce-balug.org/2006-August/00007… (look towards the bottom of that item). Let us know if you'd want us to tweak that. More about "blurbs" a bit further below. Quoting Michael Paoli: < If you can also get some suitable < blurb(s)/bio(s) on speaker(s) for updates on the web site, < announcements, etc., that's also highly useful (e.g. a short "title" < for the talk, a rather to quite short description (one to three < sentences), a somewhat longer description (up to about a longish < paragraph or two short paragraphs), and a bio for speaker(s) and/or < company/organization/project (up to a paragraph or two total, < emphasis on technical and other interesting (e.g. random personal) < stuff, (very!) light on the sales/marketing). I'll get the BALUG web site updated on information for the 2006-10-17 BALUG meeting speaker, and I'll plan for having an updated "announcement" drafted within 24 hours, and then plan to have it sent out within 24 hours of that. Anything else we want to add to updated announcement? I'm thinking: 2006-10-17 speaker/presentation information (brief) reminder (and reference to information) about monitoring SIG No BALUG meeting in Dec. Anything else? references/excerpts: Quoting John Mark Walker: > Pat is confirmed (and CC'd here) as of this afternoon. > > On Oct 3, 2006, at 9:04 PM, Michael Paoli wrote: > > > Any updates?

Re: [balug-admin] [balug-announce] Inaugural Monitoring SIG meeting Tuesday, Oct. 10, 7PM
by Michael Paoli 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

Quoting Peter Mui: > (Hi Michael et al, is this announcement an appropriate post to BALUG? > We don't want to be perceived as spamming. Thanks! -Peter) Well, ... I guess at least one of the approvers thought it was okay, as it seems it got approved, and went out: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-announce-balug.org/2006-October/0000… I was hoping by now we'd have more general BALUG announcement out, and could have also mentioned it in with that, ... but seems we're still getting speaker stuff squared away and confirmed for Oct., so that announcement stuff for BALUG isn't out ... at least yet, anyway.
