Hi Darrel,

SLMG will hope to continue by giving the community a monthly gathering and
interaction session afterwards. FOSA, as I see it, promotes Free and Open
Source software (not just linux) and focus flagship event is Software Freedom
Day which I am urging everyone in community to come forward and help. The AGM
is tonight and is completely open and everyone free to contest and stand for
election.
Sounds good. I will be in interested to catch up and see how it all went...
Besides FOSA, my feeling is that now would be a good time now for SLMG
and LUGS to be joined together more closely and I have made a firm
pledge of SG$1000 to a joined group if this can happen.
I have quite often thought it would be nice for LUGS to be having its
monthly meeting again and many have questioned on the LUGS list about
where have the LUGS meetings gone. My feeling is that we have too little
resources to fragment our efforts here as the SLMG monthly meeting is
great already!!! and I don't think there is any need to compete with
this! as I know that it is hard enough to get speakers for one meetup,
which tends to mean you end up with quite a few content free meetings...
I have to give a lot of appreciation here for all of your efforts...
BTW What do you think about hosting the LUGS AGM as an SLMG meeting?
Could we tack this onto one of the upcoming SLMG meeting perhaps? (and
if we do do this I'd strongly suggest a 60min time limit on
organizational side of the meeting versus content/talks - as I know i'm
not the only one with a short attention span).
This is the sort of direction we would need to go in if anyone wants to
hold me to my pledge which is made towards both SLMG and LUGS, not to
one or the other, but to both of them combined together - I'm happily
going to sit on the fence on this one (as personally I don't see a
distinction between who was/is members of the 2 groups) ;p
Cheers,
Michael.
PS Potential speakers with topics please post to the list here, or to
Darrel Chua or Tom Goh - if you don't mind me plugging for SLMG here...
I think we will all be glad to have more content-packed sessions, as i'm
sure a LUGS AGM won't be much of a draw card. :)
