-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Eric: Facebook and MythTV - both outstanding ideas. I'll look at Facebook now. I'm not an expert but I do make sure to log in at least once every 2 weeks :-) Anybody have a MythTV experience that can be expanded into a 45 minute presentation? (I'll have about 15 minutes of questions!) Eric On 05/29/2012 01:40 PM, Eric H. Johnson wrote: >>> 1. Promote our meetings widely outside of this mailing list.

I see there is something setup on twitter (@phillylinux) already. Facebook groups I believe is free, and last I knew, meetup.com was something like $12 per month or $75 per year. > >>> As for "regular" meetings I think it's a shame that we have so many > people and so much talent in this group and still have a hard time finding speakers. I've spoken 3 times in the last few years - Code Igniter in 2009, Drupal in 2010, and I did a lightning talk about using and configuring Compiz in 2011. Others have spoken more frequently that I have. << > > The open discussion portion of the last PLUG West meeting was dominated by MythTV.
