It isn't the only way or even necessarily the generally best way to do it, but it is *a* way and moreover, it is my way and it has some features that I like. That's probably isn't enough to fill an hour, so I thought I'd pair that with some show-and-tell regarding my DDS and QIC tape recovery project from a couple months ago.

Thank you everyone who came last night! We had 18 people with record diversity. Thoughts: 1. Maybe start at 6PM, especially for social aspects? Feedback: "I could come straight from work!" Feedback: "That would put me in traffic for an extra hour" 2. Have food there? I brought a platter of sandwiches and a small keg of beer to two or so PLUG AT meetings and Intel had snacks.

We have Michael and the venue is available, but we (afaik) have no speaker, and I am sadly not available to organize an UnPLUG.

After working for many years as a system programmer in government and private industry he began his own consulting company in 1994.

I got a sense at one point that any venue with food and a room had a flaw in their business model, having blown through Jax, Club 915, what is now a wine bar near Free Geek... Moving to Free Geek resolved that issue and at worst they had a board meeting that ran a few minutes late and we had to wait. Otherwise it was great to work there. As a community center, they do see value in partnering with PLUG. The Clinic is obviously doing well and Wes, does someone from Free Geek need to be present? If not, I am not aware of any pressing issues short of my finding time to work out all details with them and being available to organize AT. Note that I did bring food and drinks to a few AT meetings. > Alan> How advanced do people want to go with the talks? Graduate level? > Alan> Not beginner?

Calagator is a HUGE win here given that people can determine if they want to see a talk on "talking to recruiters" or "Advanced Valgrind" or "FPGA programming". The burden will always be on finding a steady flow of speakers, announcing, optionally streaming... etc. Michael Dexter PLUG Volunteer ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

We can discuss it there. That's your call. The change in Free Geek's building policy made it a bit of a pain. They officially want payment and want someone from Free Geek to be present for the meeting. They are willing to waive the fee but strangely not remove it from the contract as per our last discussion.

There has been some great feedback on this question already and I can only add a few points: 1. Don't limit yourself to "Linux" given that nearly every modern technology bumps into GNU/Linux in some way already. 2. The points like help desk are very good because in-the-trenches insights are very, very helpful for... coding. I sincerely wish every FreeNAS developer (FreeBSD-based) had spent a year or more in the trenches before they wrote a single line of code. 3. If you're greedy: Look at the most in-demand projects and dive into them. Wordpress and OpenStack come to mind. They are insanely-contrived and leave countless opportunities for legions of people. Find some single component that interests you and find a way to help. Demonstrate value and then dismissively mention you are considering full-time work. If you can do that one thing... others will be considered added benefits. Yes, I am bit cynical on all this because the tools should be well-written, intuitive and not require extensive specialized experience to make them work... but, they are and do.

Can we give them some time to their cause, so we are not > seen as inconvenience? Step one is what both parties have proposed: "Join forces" on the PLUG events so they are just formal enough to meet their mission (zero concern) and eliminate any need to pay for access. As for long-term. PLUG and Free Geek have had various forms of partnerships for decades. The rise of their education classes is a huge step forward for this type of "education" we both provide and if we all had more time, we should be teaching courses there. As you may or may not know, there was a risk they would lose their lease during the housing boom. Fortunately, that storm passed and they are on good footing. I have not met the new Executive Director but so far they seem reasonable in the face of this little issue. As for what Tomas is discussing, I would LOVE a facility with the nice lecture space of PSU and the lab area of Free Geek, hosted by either institution. (I know the two different locations suit different peole better) Free access is a big plus because we can set up early (often a problem at PSU) and staying late allows for in-depth conversations (could be a risk at Free Geek now). All things considered, I am very grateful to both PSU and Free Geek for the spaces they provide PLUG and am happy to work around the quirks. The same goes to SpireTech for hosting. As for an action item here and now: If you have the time, please consider getting involved with Free Geek, especially if it is PR or fundraising-related. People come and go there and it always helps to stay in active contact with them.

I have spoken to Amber the Office Manager and we both agree that we should entertain the Clinic and Advanced Topics meetings being part of the Free Geek basket of services. Doing so would bring some additional PR about meetings and would waive all fees.

Re: [PLUG] freegeek New Building Access Policy
Hello all, I was approached by someone during the AT meeting and was given the policy. Yes, they want to do this but they also greatly appreciate PLUG and what we do. For AT, they may be able to have someone adjust their schedule to stay late on AT nights. For the clinic, we'll have to see if that model will also work. Given that they're concerned about security, I prefer help them pass around a hat to add a wall and restroom to allow for a separate meeting space. Having that space and events serves their mission. I will begin a dialog with them and figure something out. Michael Dexter PLUG Volunteer On 10/21/16 12:35 PM, wes wrote: > They want to charge $20 an hour now.
