Woops! Sent this directly into Ken's Mailbox. My sincere apologies Ken. Philippe
Dear WAMUG'rs & Ken, Well said Ken! I agree with your suggestions. Of course this will depend on whether we are going to keep meeting on a monthly basis, and if that happens then definitely, we the usual onlookers and me included in the first place, will need to move to the podium once in a while. We have to remember though that presenters should not be expected to be expert demonstrators! I do not mind showing my genealogical software, but be warned I have a strong accent, do not like speaking publicly and my presentation will be very amateurish as I'm not a teacher or my name is not Steve J..s :) Joke aside, I have always enjoyed the presentations given on the fly by Peter, Matt and a few others on occasion. These presentations do open avenues for those who are not sure which application to download or purchase for their specific requirements. I would vote for keeping the meetings going as I tend to think that through personal contact WAMUG becomes also a human endeavour and not just a 'virtual' endeavour. As so many other have expressed, I too feel guilty but for having for so many years been a listener, albeit a very keen listener, but no talk!! And I'll take this occasion to thank those who have kept the monthly meetings going - Matt, Peter, Daniel and others whose names escape me at the moment, with my apologies. If on the downside the montly meetings are discontinued, then I will take consolation in knowing that WAMUG will continue in the virtual world of the Web. For I trust that its many contributors, real people indeed, will hopefully stay active, and Matt with help from some of us can find a way to keep the server going. My thoughts. Kind regards to all.
