[ug-discuss] ATLOSUG kickoff exceed expectations

[Scott Dickson - Systems Engineer]

Atlanta OpenSolaris User Group held its kickoff meeting last night to 
great success.  I think we had a great initial meeting.  We counted just 
over fifty folks in attendance, which far surpassed my expectation.

We had some great suggestions for future meetings and content.  With as 
many topics and speakers as we have queued up, we may decide that monthy 
meetings work better than bi-monthly.  The co-founder of the very 
successful Atlanta Linux Enthusiast group had a lot of good suggestions 
on mechanics for a group.  On top of that, we have partners clamoring to 
be sponsors of upcoming meetings!

Check in on the ATLOSUG web site at 
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/atl-osug for slides 
and photos from last night.  And I blogged about the meeting at

Just a word of special thanks to the OpenSolaris team at Sun for the 
t-shirts and for sponsoring our initial meeting.  And special thanks to 
Crystal Nichols from ITS for managing logistics.  She will be our main 
focal point for logistics, sponsorship, etc. while I try to look after 
content.

Our next meeting will be at the Student Center, on campus at Georgia 
Tech in Atlanta at 7:00PM, Tuesday, January 10.  We look forward to 
seeing everyone there!
