Do you mean every quarter? (Or has MelbaLUG become GNHLUG? :-) > o generating a list of topics and speakers That's already been done. See http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Organizational/MeetingSpeakers and http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Organizational/MeetingIdeas (and if anyone knows of more, please put them on the Wiki - its there for you and us)! > o sending out a monthly meeting notice Cron works. At least it did the last time I used it ;-) I've even toyed with the idea of setting something up in the wiki to override the message, but experience indicates that no one will use it! :-( But there's an additional task of "coordinating things" - which consists mostly of "dealing with" communications issues - confirming the speaker, reminding people, arranging for projector/powercords/..., soliciting gifts, ... You get the idea. These are the things that can be frustrating (but shouldn't be). Plus there's the expectation that someone other than the speaker and coordinator should actually show some interest in the meetings, but I digress. Since I appear to be semi-retired, I'll volunteer. But I really, really want to give someone else the opportunity. Really! I *will not* be offended. Maybe I should put it this way: if no one else steps up to the plate, you might find me doing the above items. But I won't be able to do it all the time, so don't count on it getting done. (A side-effect of being retired.) But if no one steps up, and I end up doing some of the above, don't call me "chairman". (But I might answer to "coordinator".) --Bruce
