<p>Good afternoon. Wanted to give this a bump to make sure everyone
saw it. I've gotten a couple of offers for meeting places. Would
love the help to tackle the rest now and moving forward! :)<br>

<p>Good afternoon, ladies and gents. I know we've been down this
road before, but I intend to not let it slip this time. :) I'd
really like to get this going in SOME fashion.</p>
<p>The biggest concern -- as it was last time -- is a meeting
location. We had concrete options: Francis Tuttle on Reno, and
David North offered a room at Oklahoma Christian. I don't know
if either of those options are still viable, but I'll follow up
off list. FT may be a bit more work (and less flexible) to
manage reservations, wheres OC may be too far north (though it's
basically just off of I-35). If anyone else knows of a good
option (or works for a company that can host us), please let me
know.<br>
</p>
<p>The second is technology. It would be GREAT if we could stream,
but that may not be an option (and may be a plus, as then we
can't get lazy and not show up in person :). As long, then, as
we have a room in which we can hook up a computer to a screen,
we should be golden. I expect both options listed above should
be good on the basic setup. We can figure out streaming at some
point.</p>
<p>The next thing we need is speakers. I have some presentations
for conferences I can do, and I think Ryan offered a topic right
before leaving the country, and things fizzled out (my fault). I
would love, love, love new speakers, so... don't be shy.</p>
<p>Finally, I'd like to know who is interested in actively
helping. I intend to be 100% transparent in how things are
going, of course, but I don't want to pester (or wait on ;)
someone who has no interest or time to help out (and that's
fine. Life changes and gets busy, so don't feel bad).</p>
<p>I'd really love to get this thing back to our <tt>okcj</tt>-pandemic
peak, so I'm going to put the time into it to try to get it
there. The more help I have, the better. :) <br>
</p>
<p>If you read this to the end, thank you for your time, and see
Ryan Hoegg for your gift certificate to The Sizzler.</p>
<p>That's a joke. The thanks are not, though. :)<br>
