What's this?

I think it was JD that suggested we should have something to hand out at meetings to welcome people and to collect feedback. Everybody: please help flesh-out this draft.

Announcement (2006.08.07)

Thanks to suggestions from GG, JD, SZ, and R? at the study group meeting, I have a candidate sor such a handout: Please get and review the page from http://www.kernel-panic.org/kp_fq1_20060807.pdf/file_view

Handout should

1. show general KPLUG info: Logo, website, meetings. Please insert ideas here.
   • letterhead-like Banner would be nice
   • www.kernel-panic.org
   • contact: president@.. (?)
2. have some warm fuzzy welcome message. Ideas on wording?

   Welcome message candidates

   2a. Welcome to this meeting of KPLUG (Kernel-Panic Linux User Group), the oldest and largest Linux uset group in the San Diego area. You are probably already aware of our event schedule:

   • General Meeting: 7-9pm, Second Thursday
   • Main Installfest: 10am-3pm, Saturday following second Thursday
   • Study Group: 6:30-9pm, First Thursday
   • Auxiliary ("Bookstore") Installfest: 10am-3pm, First Saturday

   Please visit www.kernel-panic.org/meetings to confirm dates, and for location details, directions and maps

• Note: the meetings page needs work! Perhaps we should leave it at visit our website until that gets fixed/resolved.
• Need a QA volunteer to review and critique the Homepage, Meetings, Events, Calendar part of our website, and perhaps also our overall announcement practice and mechanisms.

1. ask for comments, suggestions, requests, and questions.
   • should we have specific form sections for comments, etc
   • or a general invitation, and a big blank space (my vote [jgs]?)
   • ..

Other thoughts..
