Year End Wrap Up and Getting Ready for Next Year
So, for the last few posts of the year, I know we haven’t done a good job of keeping the website up to date, especially for things like the Open Source LAN.
I take full responsibility for this as it is usually my responsibility to keep the website up to date with all the things that we’re doing.
So, onto next year! We’ve got some exciting things planned.
- We’re gonna try and bring in a famous speaker or company. We are unsure who yet, but we’re working on it!
- We’d like to have more than just one LAN party! One at the beginning of the year and one at the end, or whatever works out.
- We’re gonna try and have some more “advanced” Linux talks. In the past couple years, we’ve kinda stuck to the basics and some more introductory talks, but we’d like to kick it up a notch next year.
- We’re also gonna try and have the installfest a bit earlier. It was almost 2 months into the semester this time, and that’s just too late.
Next year is gonna be an exciting time for PLUG! We hope you’ll all come along for the ride!
