For the schedule, I'll give it a shot. The Linux1/Perl 1 dates you
supplied will just barely make one magazine schedule by about 2-3 days.
I'll try and get them in to that magazine by sending a request some time
tonight when I have time to write it correctly. I will also try and
confirm the Woodside Queens address for an Installfest in September.
This will be located in a working laboratory, after 5 pm. If this is
unacceptable, let me know TODAY. I will also try and get a second date
for October in case we miss a deadline, or if we can get two dates into
the magazines. The radio show will also be plugged.
I am going to keep a calendar for events. I will be publishing the
calendar on one of my websites once I can get the virtual hosting figured
out and stable. This can be linked or framed onto the NYLXS web site
once I get rid of all of the MS related software (still need some time to
get used to bluefish or Quanta). Forget about me using the NYLXS web
site. I don't know Perl, and for other reasons I won't get into right now.
As for Sergeant At Arms, for now I think I'll pass. I need to attend
some board meetings first, and have others get to know me better before
I'll put myself in that position. It's not a popular position, and I'm
better received in person than through email. As you already know, my
email persona is more Morton Downey Jr. style, rather than a Mr. Rogers
type, which is what is really needed. Lets try keeping the schedule,
with long lead times. If that doesn't work, we'll explore a Sergeant At
Arms position, or Whip, or whatever you want to call it.
Also, someone has a magazine contact. Please let me know who that is,
and their email. If we know someone, I would like to try going through
them first, instead of contacting cold turkey.
Vincenzo.
