[GLLUG] Planning Meeting Days

[Chick Tower]

I'm happy that there are still people who want to attend GLLUG meetings. 
  Several people said the scheduling was inconvenient for them.  I had 
chosen Tuesdays because it seemed like the day that would get the 
greatest attendance, but it leaves some people unable to attend.  I 
would like to propose that we have a variable schedule, so that everyone 
is able to attend one meeting or another.  If two meetings a month are 
still a goal, we could have one on a weekend and one on a weekday.  We 
could even vary it each month, maybe alternating between a couple of 
days, sliding a day each month, or set a fixed date of the month and let 
it fall on whatever day of the week that it does.  We could even have 
three or four meetings a month, each on a different weekday, and whoever 
can come, comes.  We could meet in different locations, too, or choose 
just one for every meeting.  I'm just throwing out some ideas here; what 
do you who would like to attend think?  What suggestions do you have?

I know it might seem complicated, but between the GLLUG website, the 
GLLUG calendar, and this mailing list, it should be possible to keep 
interested parties informed as to when meetings are.  I also realize 
this might fracture GLLUG into different groups, depending on who can 
make meetings on which days at which locations.  It seems, though, that 
having meetings on one day of the week (Tuesday) each month wasn't 
working for most people.  And a few people have told me that weekend 
meetings would be much easier for them to attend that meetings on 
weeknights.

Anyway, please let me/us know what you think of this, and any better 
suggestions you may have.
