The general idea is to not have many '''Social Meetings''', in order to keep up interest
of membership, and make it worth people's time. Also, I don't want to be president next year,
and no-one else does, either, so we need people to do stuff. Socializing can happen before meetings in the form of [[PMS]].
In general, we should have meetings every week; about half-an-hour should be dedicated to news,
*** Intro to mutt
*** Beginners guide to Ubuntu Mate
**** Talk about how to replace MS word with LO^WLaTeX, etc
** These should be provided by members of the club
** Perhaps put some effort into reaching out for the more beginner-friendly ones
** Focus should be on free software rather than technologies (IPv6) or programming languages
* 1 "advanced" or project talk
** These can be by members or alumni, but also by non-memembersmembers
** not expected to be free-software focused (although prefered)
** [[user:btreecat|btreecat's]] talk on UAV was a great example of this, as was nluther's discussion of his thesis project
* [[Keysigning Party]]
* Hackathons
** Setup luug infra
** Setup Ubiquiti for [[Darknet]]
* Some event advocating for free software or teaching people about it, in a context besides the Installfest
** Mass protests of proprietary software usage on campus
We should also make an effort to attend events hosted by other entities, and have a table, like:
* [[SELF]] (CLT, summer), [[CarolinaCon]] (RDU, april/may), [[All Things Open]] (RDU, october)
* [[gp:VT Hacks|VT Hacks]]
* [[gp:Gobblerfest|Gobblerfest]]
* SEC Engineering Week
* CEED O -Show for [[gp:Galileo|Galileo]]/[[gp:Hypatia|Hypatia ]] at the beginning of the year (generally weekend before classes)
