[Chicago-talk] Meeting in June

[Nola Stowe]

Andy -- since you claim "Chicago PM Leader" title and  was *absent* at
the last meeting, you COULD ask if there were any volunteers or
discussion about the next meeting before stating what you think should
happen.

Most user groups I am in, the group leader actually shows up or in
absence, get a report to see what happened.

In your post to Chicago Ruby group "How to have meetings" :

-------
If you'll allow me to throw in my experiences from organizing Chicago
Perl Mongers for a few years now:

1) You will never have everyone happy about the meetings.  Someone's
going to be out of luck.

2) Pick a day of the month and stick with it, even if people will
miss it, or nobody will be there.  The key is consistency.

3) Have a meeting every month, no matter what.  The key is consistency.

4) Always have a topic/agenda for the meeting, no matter what.  The
key is consistency.

At some point it's going to be an issue of JFDI and making it happen.

----------


You forgot the 5th point

5) Group leader should attend or in absence, find out what happened.
