Subject: [TasLUG] Current state of TasLUG meetups
Message-ID: <4a99e216-579e-5125-58e7-6b0dc8c7cba2@theintraweb.net>

Hello All,

It has been well over a year since our last Hobart TasLUG meetup and I 
thought it was well past time to update everyone on where things are 
currently at...

---

The TLDR version is I been very busy lately and haven't had time to 
organise events. I'll need your help if you want to see TasLUG events 
happening again.

---

Life has been very busy for me lately and I have either been out of town 
or had other commitments on our usual TasLUG nights, so organising 
events hasn't been a high on my priority list. At this point I think if 
people want to see meetups happening again I'll probably need one or two 
people to volunteer some of their time to make that happen. Please read 
on to see how you can help.


# TasPubLUGs
With things resembling something like normal I was hoping to start doing 
TasPubLUGs again but I'm unsure of my availability for these in the 
immediate future.

If you would see the TasPubLUGs happening again and are happy to do a 
little bit of organising (ie. pick a venue and make a booking) please 
get in touch.


# TasLUG Meetings
We currently don't have a venue of meetings. Meetings were previously 
beeing held at Enterprise in Hobart but the previous Community Manager 
who was my contact there has moved on. I tried reaching out to the new 
Community Manager earlier this year but I didn't hear back (and I 
haven't had time to try and follow up).

If you would like to see TasLUG meetings happening again and are happy 
to spend some time finding an appropriate venue (either a new venue, or 
helping to reestablishing a relationship with Enterprize) then please 
get in touch.

Assuming we manage to secure a new venue, it is likely I will also need 
someone to volunteer a bit of time regularly to help find speakers for 
these meetings. Again, if this is something that you are interested in 
doing, please get in touch.


Hopefully there are a few people out there who are willing to volunteer 
a bit of their time to get real-life TasLUG meetups happening again.

SeeYa,
John.
