Hello everyone,<br>
Let me start off by apologizing for the slightly off-topicness of this
message, and apologize to all the people subscribing to more than one
Lug List and got this twice. <br>
<br>
My name is Jeff Chapin, and I am the current president of the CedarLug.
One of the things we are trying to do this year is to bring in
speakers, and we spent some time brainstorming names. Some of us
decided to try and get Drew Curtis, of <a href="http://Fark.com">Fark.com</a> fame to come speak at
our university (<a href="http://www.uni.edu">www.uni.edu</a>). He would possibly be speaking on the
technological side, about the infrastructure of fark, which sustains
over a million hits a day, his observations about managing the site,
and how the media has changed in recent years. We would try and host a
Fark party afterwards. It was suggested that before we rope him
into speaking, that we test the waters with the other Lugs, and see
what sort of turn out we could expect. We really don't have anything
set up, other than the fact that he is willing to come, so suggestions
are welcome.<br>
<br>
Just testing the waters here. <br>
Feel free to email me at chapinjeff(at)gmail.com with responses. Also
feel free to forward this to anyone that might be interested. I am not
on most of these mailing lists so please keep that in mind when
replying....<br>-- <br>Jeff Chapin<br>President, CedarLug
