> Geez Timo, did we offend you? First you dis our job > offering, now the "wear out the welcome" crack. ;) Hmmm... that job email seems like it was a long time ago... I do vaguely remember taking a jab at the description, which I think was fairly boring and vague, eh? ;-)
The point, perhaps backhanded, was that AMO, Simon, and others were kind enough month after month to provide a room, an overhead projector, and somebody to lock the place up after we left. Duffy is doing that now at UA...but unless I'm mistaken, he's a single point of failure in the whole "where to meet for The Meeting" process. Seems like an unhandled exception just waiting to throw a stack trace. (okay, that was a bit too geeky for even me to write.) > For the record, the JUG did not wear out the welcome at AMO, > we just kept converting the big conference rooms into office > space until there were no more conference rooms big enough > for the meetings. Really, that's all? I could have sworn somebody gave me the finger the last time we were there. Hmm, well, that might have just been Drew. ;-) > Personally, though I rarely attend the meetings anymore, So, uh... rare == 0? Seriously, what can we do to convince you to drop by some time? > I would be happy to pay annual dues to support the group and > the "option" of attending some awesome presentations. I think everyone has violently agreed that the meetings should stay open to anyone (even you Vince... as I recall, someone actually said the words, "even Vince"... err...maybe that was me saying the words... hmm, can't recall...) > Another thing to consider is individual dues and corporate > dues. Corporate dues would be more expensive, but would > entitle all employees of the corporation to attend member > only events and access to the "not quite free" stuff. Indeed something to think about. Coming up with the list of "not quite free" stuff is on the list of things to do. Food comes to mind, but if folks aren't attending in Tucson, not so much of a benefit... same for parties and beer. Begs the question -- what would convince folks it's worthwhile supporting this group with cold hard cash? Thoughts?
