Well
The primary purpose of the retreat is to discuss creating a large
Free Software expo to replace the yearly LWE program which is, not only going
to Boston, but has increasingly failed to meet the needs of the community.
Then we have to discuss new class schedule for March.
then we have to discuss the stagnation of the Education Ciriculum
and publishing our GNU/Linux One book.
Official dates, already on the calender, at Jan 30th until
February 2nd
We are having our Board meeting tomorrow at the Marriot, so we
should cememnt plans.
So far I have
Peter Siegel
Evan Inker
Akbar Pasha
Ruben Safir
Steve Milo
Ray Connelly
Adam Kosman
I'm hoping Michael and Billy Donahue is coming.
I want to go up there on Friday morning and arrive before sundown on
Friday night. If enough people want to go with me, we can rent a
van, but we need a driver. I'll pay for the van.
If someone wants to pass an announcement to NYLUG, that would be a
good thing.
In addition to the above, I'm definetely taking this oppurtunity to
quit smoking, drink beer, flirt with new women, and generally plan NOTHING
outside of our meeting for future plans. The first person to complain
about a lack of wireless access and broadband is going to be escorted by
the local police outside of the town limits.
That being said, I'm bringing my laptop, the NYLXS video camera, and my
new digital camera :)
