I think it would be safe to say that the overwhelming response to this means to nix the idea. So, I'll consider the idea dead unless someone else would like to revive it. :D

I have a contact who is a member of the CCAT organization (www.ccat.org). As I understand things, this organization promotes advanced technology through presentations. It appears to be an organization to generate networking opportunities for businesses and individuals. The list of upcoming presentations looks interesting to the likes of us Linux users. So, I was wondering if there would be enough interest to pursue a membership in CCAT, or a similiar organization, to allow CLUG members access to the networking opportunities, and the presentations at "member prices" (not quite sure what they mean by this yet - does every event cost, or do members get free access?). The reason I bring this up here, is that this may become a recurring expense (yearly) to CLUG. So, this would likely need a member vote to approve the expense. Seeing as the AGM is only a week away, that would probably be a good time to hold such a vote. If CCAT is not deemed to be suitable, are there other local organizations that might provide similar benefits? (besides CLUG that is :) ). Thoughts or comments? Shawn (ps. Their web site isn't overly forthcoming with the info a person would likely be looking for to learn about CCAT. It seems to be geared more to those who already know who they are and what they do. But, I can get more info from my contact if there is interest from the group). _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
