State of the Union: a discussion of the Madison FOSS community
PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN TIME!
If you're seeing this in a group that you think isn't Linux related, I disagree in some way. Typically I am cautious to invite a subset of groups to meetings. However, this is a very important meeting. There are some very basic infrastructure questions like "how long is a president president for" and "when are elections" that currently have no answers. I want answers to these mundane questions, but also, I want to think big picture. Can MadLUG be doing more to help schools and non-profits? Is it proper for MadLUG to engage in non-Linux libre software (FOSS) promotion? What sort of presentation overlap do we have with LOPSA?

I need people from other organizations to be at this meeting for it to be a successful meeting. I also need people that are die-hard GNU/Linux users that haven't been to a presentation in a while. Why haven't you been to a presentation? That's not admonishment, that's a question that needs answered and then the problem resolved!
I have reserved a 10-person room at The Great Dane at Hilldale. Please let me know if you can come so if we need a bigger or smaller space I can change the reservation. 18% gratuity will be included and no separate checks, so please bring cash.
I look forward to seeing you all!
