In my typing fury, I seem to have committed an egregious crime: I failed to see that 6/10 - 6/2 is eight days, and not more than 14 as I suggested. This is proof positive that <a href="http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=310" target="_blank">JSR 310</a> needs to be approved quickly, and save people like me from ourselves. Now, with that mea culpa laid to rest, I should note in big, bold letters that....<br>
<br><b>our meeting is next Tuesday, on June 10, a scant 8 days away. </b><br><br>The rest of my massive missive is correct. As far as I know. ;)<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 4:35 PM, Jason Lee <<a href="mailto:jason@steeplesoft.com" target="_blank">jason@steeplesoft.com</a>> wrote:<br>

With the June meeting just over two weeks away(<a href="http://okcjug.org/content/view/72/1/" target="_blank">http://okcjug.org/content/view/72/1/</a>), I need to make known, on behalf of the steering committee, a change we've opted to implement with regard to online registration. Heretofore, online registration has been merely strongly encouraged. To help with various logistics issues, most notably the food order, we will be implementing a policy which will require registration should you want to partake of the sponsor-provided provender. Furthermore, if you have any interest in the door prize, you will also need to register online. Registration puts you down for participation in both, for what that's worth.<br>
<br><font size="4"><b>How it works</b></font><br>This, then, is how things will work. On the day of the meeting, once registration has closed (which at about 9:00 that morning), the list will be printed by someone on the steering committee (which will probably be me, in case anyone cares). As you arrive at the UoP, you will need to check in with whomever is handling the list (we haven't worked out those details yet, but it should be obvious who that person is). Once you've checked in, you will be given <i>both</i> blue tickets. You will then take both tickets to pick up your food. Someone there will take half of your ticket, just as we've done since days untold. The half we keep will be your entry in the door prize drawing, and the half you keep will be your receipt, should you win the drawing.<br>
<br>Hopefully, this won't be too onerous. Our main hope is that this will help us insure that the food order is as adequate as possible. Feedback is, of course, welcome. In case you need them, here are the links:<br>

</ul><font size="4"><b>A poll is up!</b></font><br>On another note, at the Steering Committee meeting last week, we discussed various issues regarding our meetings, including space and time. Stephen Hawking said it was the best meeting he's ever attended! At any rate, for the time being, we fell that we've gotten a good handle on the space issue and are working with UoP to make sure we get all of that addressed. <br>
<br>The time issue, though, is a bit more difficult. The issue is this: given the extreme and basically inflexible time constraints we have at lunch, our speakers are required to rush through their material, often with little time for a Q&A session. In fact, this been a fairly common complaint over the past few months on the feedback forms. We see no way to remedy this that does not involve moving our meetings <b>back</b> to the evening (and, thus, dropping the lunch session). For what it's worth, most JUGs seem to have only an evening meeting, and those leaders I've talked to were surprised that we do two. At any rate, we have a poll up on the web site with a few options. Please be sure to vote online, and feel free to discuss the proposed move here. Barring any major objections, this change will likely be implemented for the <b>July</b> meeting (June will remain as is), so if you hate the idea, speak now or forever fume in silence. <br>
<br>Thank you for your time and attention. ;)<br clear="all"><font color="#888888">
