Re: Sonoran Penguin
I also suggested this to Hans 19 months ago when he first published it on the list. I suggested it twice more, but never got a response. I built a new server to update our Debian and Drupal, but it didn't go anywhere, we are all really busy with other things. The theme can be easily changed and I have access to do so. I agree this is a great idea! The drupal version is updated 4.7 I believe -- 5. The new server is patched 8.04 with Drupal 6 (but it's not in place) - None really planning for it that I know unless Deru or someone in Hans inner circle. I could do it (have thousands of server build migration/upgrade history) but already heavily involved in Linux Security Teams (and feeding myself [like everyone in this harsh economy]).

Re: Sonoran Penguin
Howdy, ok Im willing to make a professional Drupal template for PLUG. The whole process should be a few days work. I will make design proofs and the steering committee can decide whatever way they chose (cast ballots, draw straws, dartboard, etc.). The designs will be based on the concept Lisa posted. PLUG committee must agree to use the template for at least one year, which includes a small attribution link in the footer of every page. perhaps this may lead to better efforts to get people to use the site.

In this scenario it is far easier to organize technical questions and have them accessible via search engine. Also it is easier to manage relations with people whom you are not interested in reading ,etc. The problem Hans raised is that a lot of users only want to use email.

Nothing substantial can be organized unless there is clear management. Who will determine what is an 'improvement' and what is a total failure? PLUG needs to grow up and harness the talents that we currently have in abundance. Stop with these silly games pretending no one is running the show. Every time I ask anything of substance, I am referred to the 'steering committee'. Then Lisa claims there is no committee when it is explicitly referred to. No one ever states who is on the steering committee, expect for at least a few references that it includes Hans.

Re: Sonoran Penguin
Yes, that's true with PLUG. Hans does a great deal, but needs non-profit status, regular people to just do things like update the website, order tee shirts and sell them (we all want tees) and run contests (shirt design) and do promotion (although a plugin for Drupal exists that allows for promotion to other sister lists at the touch of a button). There is no treasury - so we are limited in that. And anything that smears that line between private (domain names - website promotion for the PLUG, etc) turns people off in a big way. Altruism only only goes so far - an efficient non-profit runs as such. But other groups with all that in place still are mired in argument, gossip, petty backbiting (competition [even when we all have excellent skills) can be devasting to a group]) lack of volunteers and politics, so we are doing fairly well.

Re: Sonoran Penguin
I wouldn't call it a problem per se, perhaps simply a lack of motivation, but thus far I haven't seen too much of an issue. Politics annoy me, but I've learned to simply ignore the cruft - others maybe not so much. I've not been watching or interacting with the list long, but I haven't seen much of what I'd call abuse to the point of needing a true steering committee ala moderation and/or hounding. That's typically about the time I lose interest. What I have seen for the most part is (what I'd consider) vibrant participation in mostly relevant discussions, without moderation or attitude attitude that normally develops on lists like these. I'd say most or all of us are professional enough to respect that, keep egos in check, and that's largely what got me watching and participating in discussion in the first place. Its refreshing there isn't constant quoting of rules, moderation, or in general preaching. I don't do forums for various reasons, and to me this feels like the last bastion of the old world that still works to maintain my interest, and works mostly well. Thus far, I wouldn't say I'd recommend changing anything, but I'm fairly simple to please. -mb On Wed, 2009-08-05 at 19:21 -0700, Joshua Zeidner wrote: well needless to say Im not interested in doing a template.
