Hi

As OCLUG discusses the future, I would like you to also consider what we do, 
what our Vision is.


Vision – a  plan or direction for OCLUG
        * Bring together great people and great presenters, from all over the 
Linux-related industry in Ottawa
        * Reach out to other people and groups in Ottawa
        * More participative events, hands on

What would that vision lead us to do?
    * Exciting events
        * That could be weekend events or monthly evening events
        * Industry related events like the “Getting your next Gig” meeting
        * Technical presentations and events

        * Speakers from all over: companies, other user groups, college and 
universities
    * Interaction with the community
        * Algonquin, U of O, Carleton, maybe even high schools
            * their Comp Sci clubs, professors, departments
        * Share speakers in both directions, participate in each others events
    * Businesses 
        * talking about Linux and OCLUG with their employees – forwarding our 
announcements? Put up posters?
        * Funding big events, sponsorships
    * Work with other clubs in Ottawa
        * Present at other clubs
        * Share costs of bringing in speakers

        * Tell them about our meetings, speakers, events

        * Invite speakers from other clubs to repeat at our meetings
    * Software industry user group extravaganza
        * Propose we do this next September
    * Outside events
        * Symposiums and other events for knowledgeable users
        * We already support these. Continue! Talk about it with other user 
groups!
    * Reach out to new users 
        * Leavitt Memorial Seminars 
        * C4C
        * John Nash has other ideas and is willing to help organize this
    * Games
        * My son won't let me forget that he really enjoyed the last Game Day!
    * More ideas! Please!
