Hello All, So, after yesterday's lecture, we sat down and started discussing the next one and we noticed that the luggers were 1) Not asking for topics, 2) Not stepping up to give lectures, and 3) Not attending lectures. I'm sure that most of you are well accomplished in the computer industry, but surely there must be something that you don't know/want to know/can share!!
The thing that perks me the most is, the lug doesn't seem to be appreciative of the facilities we have, and we definitely are not capitalizing on them. I know for a fact, that members of other lugs would die to find a suitable place to meet at on a regular basis. Yet, we have access to fully equipped labs and simply refuse to use them. There is something wrong in this picture!! If you do not appreciate what you have, then you are bound to lose it. After Mousa explained to me the great lengths he and saddam went through to prepare for the previous lecture, and how only one person showed up, i was seriously annoyed. If i spent more than six hours in a lab preparing for a lecture that was announced for 4 weeks, and then nobody showed up, i would completely give up on the LUG. Not to mention that Mousa is cutting no less than 3 hours every week of his own personal free weekend time, to try to show support, and getting a cold shoulder in return. So, this goes out to everybody (although i'm sure we will only get replies from the usual few who actually reply... hmm, maybe we should give a lecture about using mail clients), What exactly is it that you want from the lug? Social events, not many show up, and nothing of importance happens. We scheduled bi monthly meetings, and only the first 3 meetings got through. Lecture, first 2 lectures are stacked, then nobody shows up. Public awareness campaigns (like the recent one at JU), a handful of people offered to help. I just checked and we have 84 members in the jolug google group. Where are those people? Why is it that anybody that reads our archives thinks that the lug is only ~20 people? Why is jolug.org so dead? It's a great site, with great potential, but without user interaction, it's of no good use to anybody. So, i'll repeat my question again: What do you want from JoLug? The next meeting is scheduled on June 1st, it will be held at ITU, and will be a social event, just trying to figure the mess we are in. One can only hope that something comes out of it. -- Al-Faisal El-Dajani Phone: +962-7-77 799 781 P.O Box: 140056 11814 Amman, Jordan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jolug" group.
