Ok,
That is a good start point.
So what, and how can we address these shortcomings ??
maybe:
Do more installfests , in other places ... even as part of other events
?
Restructure the monthly meeting to get more intrest in some more
subjects ?
Have some extra event , even attached to other events where specific
Linux/Oss related subjects are processed ...
Get more ideas ...
And i would throw this one in as an extra bone: How about a bit more
activity
from generally everyone ? Just do a bit more , just a little bit more.
Cheers
Szemir
