(which I obviously cant attend 'cos I > have exams from the 13th). yes .. why not ? .. add this to the agenda : what needs to be done to make ilug and its meetings more effective, interesting, relevant and attractive .. did i get it right ? > Why dont we actually get a proper structure > in place for the meets that we shall continue to adhere to, for say, the > next 4 months ie Feb 2003-May 2003 ?!! yeah .. why don't we .. i'm all for it .. lets get a proper structure in place for the meets .. and lets end fiscal 2002-2003 with that structure .. and think about changing it thereafter .. this could be added to the agenda for the meeting on 2nd sunday of feb 2003 .. when you would be attending too .. the meeting for 2nd sunday of jan 2003 would be best devoted to tying up all loose ends for the compass participation .. i guess that will leave insufficient time for this more major discussion ..pk -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
