Call for volunteers

[Bob Ogg]

I agree with Daniel

I've been watching all this "planning" for some picnic that on one hand
looks like it is supposed to be for the "community"...??? I might be
interested if that were the case. I love "community" and I really want to be
involved in worthwhile "community" projects. My best friends started and I
hosted for over 5 years the Linux LUG called ALE (Austin Linux Enthusiasts)
we have over 200 people on our mailing list. I don't believe anyone in our
group has ever heard about this picnic. Are any of you Geeks involved in any
Linux based community groups/projects that openly meet on a regular
basis.???? Since I joined this on-line supposedly Ubuntu group, I've heard
no mention of any computer/software/Linux/OS related
meetings/ideas/thoughts/discussions other than this picnic.?????

But on the other hand it also looks like it is ONLY for a select group of
guys using a community mailing list who want to get together and have a good
time. Personally this is what I believe is the case. If this is the case I
will back off and let you guys have your fun. (And also will not take
anything mentioned on this mailing list seriously again if this is the
case.) (private plans are good way to kill a mailing list) I hope you all
have a really great time.!!

If this is NOT the case and you what this to be a "community" project
picnic, then may I suggest that you guys had better go back to the drawing
board and start incorporating the "community"!! Then you might get some
involvement if you guys haven't run off all those who may have been
interested in the first place. They may have seen what I've seen, you will
never know unless you involve them, the "COMMUNITY". Ubuntu is HUGE and this
picnic could have been too and be a huge success if planned properly. I'm
not sure it's really for "community" though.????

Am I correct in my observations? All those who understand me, let me know.
If I am out of line here, let me know that too. Whatever have a great time.

Thank You
Yours Truly
Bob Ogg
