<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>
