Season's Greetings from the President and the Executive Board of the Calgary Linux Users Group 2003
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season. I hope that you had a good year and that 2004 will be even better. CLUG had a very interesting year. We watched our membership grow consistently. The attendance of our monthly meetings has also seen considerable growth. We packed in an average of 40 people per meeting over the course of the year. We attended Convergence 2003, held no less than four InstallFests, held the annual CLUG Barbecue, attended Nexus' Open House and the Calgary Unix Users Group Open House. We also gained our Society status. All in all, a busy year for us indeed. 2004 will be just as active or more so. We have already been contacted by the folks at Convergence, we will undoubtedly have more InstallFests, we will be having our AGM early in the New Year, and another Barbecue among other things. We hope that you are in this for the long haul, Linux is here to stay and we are very excited to think of the possibilities. The 2.6 kernel has been released. Things are getting pretty exciting with regards to 64bit processors. Apps are maturing. There has been some shake ups within the community but I believe it will help us in the long run. As President of our Group I have many things to be thankful for. I work with some very good people on the Executive; Marcel Lecker, Kari Major, Dave Bourassa, Jeff Clement and Dan Graham. I believe that we are a very good team and I look forward to our continued relationships. There are numerous others within our group that consistently lend us a hand in whatever way they can at meetings, InstallFests and whatever else we do. We have a number of people fielding all sorts of questions both on our mailing list and off. We have had a host of people volunteer to do presentations at our meetings month in and month out. All of these things combined equal success in my book. Thank-you all! See you in two weeks. Sincerely, Jarrod Major President, Calgary Linux Users Group _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
