I've heard rumors lately that Paul / other people want to cut back on the
number of SLUG meetings we have, due to lack of attendance or something.
I'd like to point out that even without a meeting coordinator present, St. Pete
has never failed to have a meeting since I joined SLUG, and the fewest
we've ever had was 4 people.
Last month we had a good 10-12 people show up, even though the meeting
was 'canceled'.
Fact of the matter is, the St. Pete meetings would continue indefinitely
regardless of any outside factors.
I'm also a somewhat-regular at the Tampa meetings, and I don't see a lot
of overlap between the two. Lots of people that go to Tampa wouldn't go
to St. Pete, and vice-versa.
I also know, geographically speaking, Tampa and Brandon meetings
wouldn't merge well.
Thus, it would be unreasonable at least to merge St. Pete, Tampa, and
Brandon. Sarasota is too far to even consider merging with Tampa.
Of course, this is third-hand information. It was mentioned at the Tampa
meeting, which I wasn't able to attend, and was relayed to me by Yetr2 /
William Overstreet (the president of the HCC linux group).
Iff we want to restructure the meetings, the most logical way would
be having 1-2 meetings per county per month.
Pinellas:
South (St. Pete, Seminole, Pinellas Park, Largo, etc)
North (Dunedin, Clearwater, etc)
Hillsborough:
Tampa
Brandon
Manatee/Sarasota:
No idea
