<P dir=ltr>I respect people may not want to be a part of meetup due to privacy
concerns. I have the intention of continuing to communicate the meetings using
the <A href="http://penguinsunbound.com">penguinsunbound.com</A> website. But
as the coordinator of the group the benefits were enough to cover the
organizer dues myself rather than trying to maintain self managed software.
Anyone concerned can continue to reference the website for meeting times. I
also felt we as a group could grow from the other IT professionals in the twin
cities already on meetup that may not be aware of the group if they never had
heard of us before. </P>

is a commercial firm that requires groups to pay group dues and submit their
member lists for their advertising purposes. Not private or
self-governed. Many may not want their names submitted to this
commercial operation. I'd like to hear of Penguins things, but not
this way.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hello everyone,<BR></DIV>We have created a meetup site for Penguins
Unbound. This should enable us to better communicate group
activities, meeting times, place availability, etc. I hope all
interested will join meetup and RSVP for the March 21st 10AM meeting
so I can get accurate attendance numbers. This will also help on
topic interest and meeting place requirements. (Future dates will be added
once I get time).<BR></DIV>
<DIV>The site: <A href="http://www.meetup.com/PenguinsUnbound/"
target=_blank>http://www.meetup.com/PenguinsUnbound/</A><BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I plan on talking a bit about piwigo (the open source
gallery software) <A href="http://piwigo.org/"
target=_blank>http://piwigo.org/</A><BR><BR>David may present some
material he's been working on about customer success in
SaaS.<BR><BR></DIV>I am waiting for confirmation on the place but will
announce it once that is completed. More to
come!<BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR>--<BR>ubuntu-us-mn mailing list<BR><A
