[olug] Ideas for Organizing OLUG

[jferguson3 at home.com]

Okay, this has been running through my head for a bit.  How can we get
OLUG a little better organized? I'll start the ball rolling:

1.  Split the mailing list into OLUG-DISCUSS and OLUG-ANNOUNCE.
OLUG-DISCUSS could be the high-volume one, and OLUG-ANNOUNCE would be
meeting announcements and other general interest items (and restricted
who could send to it).

2.  Planning group.  A group of the regulars could meet regularly to
decide what sort of topics could be discussed in the next 3-4 meetings
(and where they would be held).  One of these people would have
permission to update the web page with that information. Kinda like a
"benevolent oligarchy".  However, the ideas the group comes up with
would be posted on the mailing list so if there is a major problem,
folks could point it out well in advance.

3.  "Newbie Time" at the meetings.  30 minutes or so of each meeting
would be devoted to "newbie" topics.  Even if this is beginner stuff, I
think everyone could learn from it.

4.  Distribution of flyers.  I still need help getting flyers out.

5.  My personal favorite: Pizza at the meetings.

Okay, now its everyone's turn to discuss.
