There might be other groups that might be considered as "academe-oriented" aka "school-oriented", however, most of the groups are either goverment-backed and goverment agency organized (ie. RITECC, ICT Committee), or enthusiast centered like KLUG or Open-ITLUG, or PLUG.
Although KLUG, organized sometime ago, was already able to hold a number of tech sessions. The main issue now is that a lot of the resource persons, who happens to be members of KLUG too, are pretty much busy with work. A lot of them holds key positions in the IT heirarchy of some companies, or schools. The rest are freelancers, students, and enthusiasts who also happen to be pretty busy. So organizing tech sessions has been a very daunting task for the group. Mainly, the group is having a hard time having a common schedule, and the resource person and his schedule. The topic is not really difficult to decide on since there are a lot of topics that can be discussed. And the group is really not only focused on webbies, proggies, and graphies. The group is also for admins, integrators, builders, and FLOSS advocacy primarily centered on everything related to Linux. BTW, seems like you're a junior rotarian with your signature "fair to all concerned". :) Just noticed. Regards! On 2/15/07, Patricia Estorgio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
