I too enjoyed our last meeting because there was lots of enthusiasm
and community participation. We should strive to continue with this
model, with at least 2 presentations per meeting. Given that there
are over 70 MSLUG members, we could achieve this goal if each member
gave a presentation once every 3 years. Cerainly doable.
Some may feel they don't have enough to say to give a presentation.
I would really like to hear from everyone to know at least why they
are interested in Lisp/Scheme, if they use it in your work or hobby,
etc. Moreover, people not able to participate as a presenter could
perhaps help in other areas. How about:
1) Prepare a MSLUG picnic/hike/apple picking in a nice place this fall.
2) Advertise our meetings to reach out to other developers/academics
in the Montreal area.
3) Find prestigious presenters to invite.
4) Maintain and improve the MSLUG web site.
5) Organize special events (such as the DLS workshop).
I see a bright future for the MSLUG if we get more community
involvement.
