Subject: [GRLUG] Poll: Linux interests and availability

In the interest in having meetings targeted at appropriate audiences at
appropriate times, I'd like to ask a few questions.

1. Are you interested in Linux for personal or professional purposes?

2. What do you use Linux for?

3. What kinds of meeting times would be most suitable for your schedule?
Weekends? Weekdays?  Business hours?

4. Are you interested in meetings primarily for topical presentations, or
are you more interested in question-answer periods and one-on-one
discussion?

If enough people are interested, I'd suggest that we have a second set of
meetings, a monthly social-type event where we'd have some food and have
walkthrough-type activities and peer discussion instead of the top-down
presentation model we have at normal meetings.

The GRCC LUG operated in this way, and we helped a few people get Linux up
and running on laptops and desktops.

Notice I'm bottom posting. Seems a PITA but if we're to communicate
effectively we might as well do it the way geeks have done it since ages
past.

1. I'm interested in Linux for personal and professional purposes.

2. I use Linux here at work for an email server, a Linux terminal services
server, soon a Bacula server, and also soon a sugar CRM server. We also have
a RHEL POS server. My ultimate goal is to rid my company of all Microsoft
products but there are a few apps that run only on Windows that will always
require some Microsoft apps to be intalled. I will not even attempt to
subject my regular users to the rigors of WINE.

3. I'm available at any/all times of the day.

4. I would like to see maybe one main topic that is deemed worthy from the
mailing list responses as a presentation that would be short and sweet and
allow the rest of the time to be more of a peer discussion or whatever.
