-------- Original Message -------- Subject: First General letter to All Leaders Affiliated to Boston User Groups Date: Mon, 05 Jan 2009 19:26:43 GMT From: Ronald Thibeau <ronald.thib...@bostonusergroups.org> To: <lead...@bostonusergroups.org> Hello User Group Leaders, Boston User Groups called BUG, an umbrella organization, is focused on organizing and sustaining any digital technology User Group, through advice and services some of which can be on site. BUG management is composed of volunteers from the “leaders’ list”. We volunteer time as we are able. We are ordinary people with a heart for service. We can always use more help. We provide a web site http://www.bostonusergroups.org <http://www.bostonusergroups.org/> . We have On Line for about six months. The site will always be a work in progress. User Group meetings, special events etc, are posted on the calendar. In due time, each leader who wishes to do so, can maintain his information. Posting commercials or head hunter advertisement etc. that is NOT user group activity will not be allowed on the site. One service that all listed leaders can use right now is the ‘’leaders’ list’’ service. If you have an event that you want to tell the world about, then prepare a good looking advertisement that is accurate and send it out to lead...@bostonusergroups.org <mailto:lead...@bostonusergroups.org> . If you want the same advertisement to post on the BUG calendar, send your data to john.r...@bostonusergroups.org <mailto:john.r...@bostonusergroups.org> for posting. Note: if any leader wishes to post a question to solve a User Group Issue, please be free to post your question. As we use the leaders’ list service for each other, it is hopeful that we benefit by educating many more end users in technology and best practices and to promote competence in our trade.* SO*, everyone should now be looking for and expect this ‘leaders’ list’ channel to flow timely and accurate User Group special events. All other information can be found on the BUG site. If you don’t see it or it’s wrong, then write john.r...@bostonusergroups.org <mailto:john.r...@bostonusergroups.org> to get it corrected. We are interested in filling a few spots on the BUG board of directors. Some have an elected office and some contribute on special projects. So, any person wishing to serve a technical community can write me directly ronald.thib...@bostonusergroups.org <mailto:ronald.thib...@bostonusergroups.org>. We have face to face meetings on occasion based on complexity or importance. We frequently telephone conference to save travel time and money for each other. We call meetings based on necessity. Operational issues are usually handled by e-mail. We have e-mail traffic going all the time. If you know of other digital technology user group leaders, please pass on our introductory statement of purpose. More statements on our general activity and more services provided to follow in the weeks ahead. Please avail yourself of our service and get the word out on your activities. Come see what is going on at the BUG community. http://www.bostonusergroups.org <http://www.bostonusergroups.org/> .
