Childboard for JUGs

Post by AmyStephen » Wed Feb 07, 2007 5:39 pm

Alex -

Can we have a childboard for JUG postings? 

If so, these would be good to move into that new board:
"How to" discussion - http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,138398.0.html
Atlanta - http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,136076.0.html
Indiana - http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,133399.0.html

Thanks for considering this request.
Amy :)

If this is a "formal" request, then it should be in the "Sites & Infrastructure - Feedback/Information" board.

If you are just tossing the idea out for Alex, then this spot is alright. Please let me know if you want me to move it. It's your call. Thanks!

Ken -

Wherever you think is best. Obviously, Alex's opinion is very important since he is responsible within the core for Community Events, etc., And, we are in no hurry. If we have not heard from Alex in a week, or so, maybe I could ask you to move this to Infrastructure?

But, you know better than me, so, please do what you think works best.

Thanks for your help!
Amy :)

PS - I think our two highest ranking Omaha Joomla! folks ought to step up to the plate on the Omaha JUG.  ;)

Perhaps you and Dave will join in as we talk about JUGs. I'd love that! I know there is another Lincoln community member, one more from Omaha (from way back when) and one from Grand Island. I'll bet we have Nebraskans all over the place. < http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,138398.0.html >

AND my daughter and my son just started with Joomla!, too. :)

Hi Amy,

Just a quick note, Alex is away at the moment. He is having exams and will be back shortly. In the mean time please keep the discussion going I'm sure Alex we want to accomodate your request once he notices that there is enough people who are interested to help make something happen.

You do not sound too sure. :) I will leave it here for now. When Alex gets back, he should see it.

I'm okay with waiting for Alex, Ken. That is no problem. This is not a "need it in a hurry" thing.

Thanks so much for your help!

WHen I get some time, I can start working on a template too.  I can make it with one central header image and provide the .psd so other jugs can replace the graphic with their own but in a similar vain.  What do you think about that?

Cindy -

You are now our designer. I have looked at some of your sites and you are very talented.

I'm going to ask the moderator to have these posts moved into that other thread, though, so everyone knows how we hooked you for more!

Thanks so much!

Hi all,

hmm honest I feel that you are your time ahead. I would love to see some more docs and other JUG's really forming before we create child boards for this.

For me there is no real difference between a community and a JUG except (and this is the most important thing of course) the personal meeting.

We have language related forums and if we really create sub-forums I feel that it should be within those respective areas. The whole JUG discuss about how to handle it can take place here - that's absolutely fine with me. However I might move it to the Community Meetings board, as I feel it belongs more to this area.

language related forums are not appropriate as they are not regional

english is spoken in more than one country ;)

There are even a few countries that speak german ;)
