They aren't complete, but I think I got most of the high points. http://joeykelly.net/cgi-bin/scratchpad/index.cgi?VintonCerf -- Joey Kelly < Minister of the Gospel | Computer Networking Consultant > http://joeykelly.dhs.org _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I want to weigh in as supporting an LSU LUG. I used to attend LSU, way before computers were even invented, etc.. Here are my thoughts: LSU allows the creation of official, university-sponsored clubs. Just about every subject you can think of has a club associated with it. I would imagine that the eventual goal of LSULUG would be to become a recognized club. A club needs a faculty sponsor, needs to elect officers, have some sort of a charter, etc. Outsiders can attend meetings, but the main thrust of a campus club should be directed at students. That said, there is nothing stopping interested persons of forming a non-official club (look through the yearbook and find the lampshade guys, you'll get the idea ;-). An ad-hoc club could meet off-campus to start, say at one of the dives around Chimes or State Street, or on the other side of campus. It might also be possible to meet on-campus if you guys stay under the radar. Any student can reserve a study room in the library, for instance. Also a classroom might be made available if a sufficiently powerful faculty member (someone in CSC or an engineering college) gave their unofficial blessing, say in the form of a "research group" moderated by a few of his teacher's pets ;-). Starting from a non-official status, progress toward official acceptance by the unversity could be made. Should it be an LSU-only LUG? No. Support (attendance, momentum, speakers, etc.) is going to have to come from BRLUG... after all, the idea of starting an LSU LUG is taking place on BRLUG's mailing list. Should it be sponsored by BRLUG? Yes. Should it be a sub-group or BRLUG-lite? That's for you guys to decide. ^C Yeah, I know you're wondering how an old fr4t living in New Orleans knows so much about clubs at LSU... I participated in an effort in the mid-80s to win official university status for an off-campus club. We succeeded :-) --Joey Thou spake: >I can't offer much in the way of help other than ideas. > >I recommend that your first task be to setup a mailing list for this >initiative and then advertise somehow to potential members.
