Anselmi" <anselmi@anselmi.us><br>To: "CLUE admin" <clue-admin@cluedenver.org><br>Sent: Monday, November 22, 2010 11:19:29 PM<br>Subject: [clue-admin] CLUE steering meeting redux.<br><br>Admins (and gentlemen) ;-)<br><br>I'd like to redirect the goal of our steering meeting. "VPS, Drupal" and "CLUE steering" seem <br>incongruous to me. Steering seems so much more grand than talking about two tools. I ask for your <br>support (see the last paragraph).<br><br>I will announce two meetings: the evening of Nov 26th and the evening of Dec 14th (our regularly <br>scheduled meeting). We can add a Saturday if there is enough interest.<br><br>The goal will be to establish the direction of CLUE for the coming year:<br><br> - address priorities and shortcomings in how we're executing<br> - get help/replacements for those admins who need it<br> - get new admins for new things that need to be done<br><br>In short, to shake off the slumber that is slowly overwhelming us. I don't know whether I can pull <br>this off. I do know I need your help.<br><br>So what the heck do I think I'm doing? Well, I was given some insight about how Dennis came to <br>decide to hold a meeting and I think that what we've arranged so far doesn't really cut it. Since I <br>was asked to announce the meetings I told him I'd arrange what was needed and he agreed.<br><br>The problem is that we didn't propose an agenda that was aggressive enough to get the current <br>admins/officers committed to coming. But we really need much of the membership to come too so we <br>can meet their needs and get their help. I think that if we develop a vision the details like <br>Drupal and VPS will fall into place.<br><br>I like the idea of a meeting on the 26th so I'm sticking with it. I didn't get a sense that anyone <br>was solely committed to the 11th and it seems convenient to meet on the 14th since we don't have <br>another topic planned. If Saturday is really popular we can add back the 11th or the 18th.<br><br>Here's how you can help:<br><br>- Come to the meetings. If you can only make one the later ones will probably be better.<br>- If this whole approach is hugely offensive/stupid/arrogant/whatever, tell me what you *will do* <br>instead.<br>- Be patient with me and the other volunteers (we are volunteers). I'm not trying to resolve <br>everything here so I'm not spelling everything out. That's for the meetings.<br>- Come to the meetings.<br><br>Thanks for all you've done for CLUE.<br>Dave<br>_______________________________________________<br>clue-admin mailing list<br>clue-admin@cluedenver.org<br>http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue-admin<br></div></body></html>
