This message is being cross-posted to the Netman and Wireless-LAN Lists. For our first virtual meetup on April 17, we had over 100 people attend the Zoom meeting. We covered 7 topics related to our response to handling the changes in our campus environments caused by Covid-19. As CG Leaders, we feel the meeting kept a good pace and that there was a lot of great participation and valuable sharing of information. Thank you to everyone that participated as we think our first virtual session turned out to be a nice success. To see how broad the participation was, we compiled a geographical summary of those that participated:

After a couple weeks of exploring different options, we feel it would be a good balance to host them once every other month, or once every two months. We'll also try and schedule the virtual meetings on the 3rd Friday of the "on" month, unless something else is occurring like the Annual Conference.. List of our upcoming virtual meetings: June - Friday, June 19 (3-4 pm Eastern, 12-1 pm Pacific | Topic - Network Monitoring Tools August - Friday, August 21 (3-4 pm Eastern, 12-1 pm Pacific) | Topic - To be determined October - Annual Conference (To be Determined as far as date and whether onsite or virtual) | Topic - Open Discussion + 2 10 minute Presentations For those that already registered for the April virtual meeting, you'll already be included in the invite for the next virtual meeting in June. But if anyone prefers not to be included in the invite for June, let me know via email saying you want to opt out. I'll also be sending everyone that already registered a more detailed Agenda of our April meeting (even if you weren't able to attend) that includes the Zoom Chat that took place during our verbal conversation. It ended up that Zoom chat was a lot more friendlier to use to communicate with each other than the comments feature in Lean Coffee Table. I hope that Lean Coffee Table fixes that shortcoming in the next release. In future meetings, we can focus on using Zoom chat rather than entering comments in Lean Coffee Table for the non-verbal discussion. As you already saw listed above, the topic for our June meeting will be Network Monitoring Tools. This is the burning topic that many of us discussed in late January & early February, which spearheaded us to start getting together to host virtual meetups. Jeff Farese took a lot of our discussion back then and summarized it in 5 categories. I've taken that list from Jeff and created 5 topic cards for our discussion in Lean Coffee Table.

If you want to join our meeting in June and haven't registered yet, please enter your email address using this Google survey form and we'll add you to the list. If you use your personal email account rather than your University or business email address, can you send me an email to let me know who you are?
