We're going to do something a little different at the April meeting.

We'll be having a question and answer session in which everyone can,

and hopefully will, participate.

 

Each of us needs to put our thinking caps on and come up with a

list of questions to be answered by the other members of the group.

The questions should be written on individual piece s of paper and

will be thrown into a hat (or "hat equivalent devi ce") and drawn

out and asked by each of those attending in turn ( so write clearly

and in complete sentences).

 

For each question, we'll go round the table an d each person can

answer in as little or as much detail as they w ish, but should stay

"on topic".

 

To make that work, we have some rules concerning the quest ions:

 

1. The questions sho uld not be ones which have a specific technical

answer, because o nce answered there is little room for the

remaining participants to contribute.

 

2. It follo ws that this is not an opportunity to get your specific

problem f ixed; it is to elicit the experiences and knowledge of

others at a more general level.

 

3. T he questions will be answered by multiple people and so should

no t be addressed to anyone in particular.

 

4. The answers to the questions should be facts or opinions b ased on

each person's individual experience, so there will be dif ferent

answers from different people.

 

5. Th e questions should be relevant to the purpose of the group.

 

6. The group may decide to veto any question which is deemed to be

inappropriate or trivial.

 

As an example, and to get us in to the rhythm, the first question< /p>

out of the hat will be, "When did you first encounter Linux?"

(Don't use that as your question; it's already taken!)

 

Remember that we need to fill in the ev ening, so it's better if we

have questions left over than to run out fifteen minutes in.

 

Bu t to start off, John will report on his visit to the Waikato LUG's

March meeting on Monday. There are some ideas which have arisen

from that which we ought to kick around.
