I don't see it as a detraction either, just another thing to maintain and keep in sync with the wiki and mailing list. Like with regard to meetings, and when we meet. > We used to have an IRC channel, but that required ops & > admin time too. Really only an issue if unruly folks show, but much more admin time for a mailing list, wiki, or even a Facebook/Google+/etc account, in a sense than a IRC channel. But there is a IRC channel now, in case you missed that or anyone else did :) http://www.jaxlug.org/index.php/IRC > I've just added Mike Rathburn, Paul Tiseo and Donald Cowart to > the group. BTW, William you never accepted the JaxLUG FB Admin invite. No I got it, but I had no idea what it was regarding. On my end it just looked like another invite from someone on Facebook. Which I was getting quite a many for a while. I had no idea it was regarding the JaxLUG having a presence on Facebook. Facebook also did weird stuff with linking those invites, my email address, and my IP address that had not changed in a while. I was seeing a gal at one point who never used my email address, only saw it on a business card. She logged into facebook one day on a machine at my residence. All the sudden all people that had ever invited me to Facebook up to that point in time, including Art Wildman, showed up as friend requesting her. The others got the same request from her, an it was very creepy. I had to explain to some people who she was an vice versa. When I saw Art Wildman from the JaxLUG had friend requested her on Facebook, I was like what the heck is going on this is crazy :) Not sure what the deal with those Facebook invites were, but how the information was linked, and then used I did not like one bit. That machine had a fresh browser cache, using a guest system profile, cleaned per user, etc. I had never used it, much less checked email on that machine, or anything. Thus I can't see how it could be anything beyond IP linkage. Since I did click on links in the invite emails to stop receiving them. Launching a browser on my machine, giving out my IP. > If it was blocked by spam filters, send me your preferred FB email > addy off list & I'll resend Don't have one man, I am not cool enough. Or can be seen as a non-conformist. Which ever you prefer :) Really I have enough to maintain. Nothing against a Facebook, Google+, or other stuff for the JaxLUG. But its up to the JaxLUG, not just me to maintain these things. Right now I have quite enough stuff to do, and thus far most times doing things because others are not. -- William L.
