OK. I joined PLUG in May, 2000. It has a Steering Committee then and
has had one continuously to today. Maybe you are referring to
pre-2000 time.
oh yeah. hmm, I thought it had disbanded. teaches me to pay attention . :)
Confession: The current truth is that the Steering Committee is
semi-active. I have mostly moved on to other community groups
(Ignite Phoenix, Gangplank events, Phoenix Scrum User Group). Others
have been busy with many things. From my point of view, the Steering
Committee needs to become more active again. I am not the one to
drive that as I have my free time focus elsewhere.
heheh. yeah. lately, I am in that boat. Trying to find a job (any job)
that will pay the bills.
That founding occurred back in mid 1998. most of the list didn't start
getting seriously archived until early 1999.
I understand it was founded earlier than that, around 1996. Rusty
Carruth was one of the original PLUG members. I work with him at my
employment. I'll have to ask him Monday about the founding date.
ok. I may be a couple of years off. my memory has been kinda shot lately
(when I have difficulty
with even simple bash scripting, there is a problem).
I kn ow Der.hans was pretty much in there from the beginning (you still on
list Hans?).
Hans is still around. He posts about meetings, etc. in this list
quite regularly. He chairs bi-monthly PLUG planning meetings on IRC
every other Sunday evening. He's still working for the group.
hmm. ok, looks like I need to check my mail settings. I am not seeing
some of the plug list(
spamassassin may need clearing again).
I haven't seen any notices for a west side meeting in
some time though
(you still doing that tuna?).
West side meetings now take place at DeVry University, when there is
someone to make sure there is a speaker. They have not always been
held every month of late because of a lack of a solid organizer.
Hopefully that will change.
I hope so. I really miss hitting the meetings.
Calls for west side speakers and meeting organizers go out every
month, usually written by Hans.
hey Hans, speak up and say Hi will ya? :)
Anyway, we need to get the groove back. this list has started getting
quiet. more tech discussions and news
linux related. :)
