It's slightly out-of-date already, but a bit over 2 weeks ago, I started a BALUG "todo" list on a wiki page: http://sf-lug.com/wiki/doku.php?id=balug_todo_list

Rough ideas and rationale on the list: * easier/better to have it in a (relatively) consistent spot, be able to update, etc. (as compared to archived list e-mails) * idea (thus far) to roughly rank things from highest to lowest priority down the list - but also group related/dependant tasks together where that makes sense.

If there's stuff you feel needs or ought to be done (or even "wish-list" items - can go towards tail end of list), feel free to note/update on there ... especially if you're actively working on any of these various BALUG tasks and related stuff (e.g. general administrivia and organizational stuff, systems administration and/or web stuff for BALUG sites, speaker coordination, etc.)

If folks want to do more with/for BALUG, feel free to volunteer. The "admin" list has probably been at least a slight bit quieter than it ought to. Much of the day-to-day administrivia happens via off-list communication - mostly using the BALUG e-mail aliases found under: http://www.balug.org/#Contact The "admin" list has a larger audience - and is also publicly archived (and thus not suitable for all of the communications).

I try to encourage folks (and try to also remember myself) to - if there's no reason not to have it publicly archived and visible to all, to send it to the "admin" list, rather than just off-list e-mail alias(es) (all of us on those aliases are also on the "admin" list).

Perhaps I (and/or others) will update the "todo" list soon, but some of the stuff we're working on: * new(er) web site stuff (beta.balug.org, etc.) * Dec. 2007 - no BALUG meeting * Feb. 2008 meeting date - any venue conflicts with Chinese New Year? * BALUG meeting food at restaurant (tweak/overhaul our "standard affair" food) * BALUG "steering" committee(?) - working to get some of us BALUG administrivia "movers and shakers" (okay, those who do some or much of that work) in a bit more regular real-time interactive communication to work on generally better planning and improving BALUG stuff (e-mail only gets us so far).

In any case, hopefully the "todo" list (wiki page) gives one at least a rough overview of things BALUG would like to get done and in many cases where BALUG could make use of additional assistance/resources.

If you want to volunteer and help BALUG, feel free to drop a note to balug-contact@balug.org (or one of the e-mail addresses under http://www.balug.org/#Contact if you're only interested in assisting with that particular role/area).
