 erig | bagira: The website being severely out of date makes it feel dead.. i.e. "meeting notice" is a meeting from 2018. | 13:25:26 |
 meinwald | The last meeting on see on the mailing list is also 2018, was there one more recently? | 16:49:43 |
 bagira | no its been dead | 19:41:12 |
| bagira | i am about an inch away from declaring a new organization and trying to revive it as a new entity minus the people holding it back, we have people resistent to anything that prevent it from getting back up | 19:41:50 |
| bagira | perhaps not by intent but certainly by result | 19:42:45 |

| erig | bagira: From my perspective it _feels_ dead. Simply due to the inactivity. | 20:47:31 |
| erig | e.g. 4 people in the IRC channel. :P | 20:47:46 |
| bagira | lol | 20:47:51 |
| bagira | i own the domain ohlug.org now | 20:48:31 |
| erig | FWIW, I could do a talk or something about $DAYJOB_PROJECT | 20:48:43 |
| erig | But I've never seen an attempt to organize a meetup. I know the past 6 months haven't really be a candidate though. | 20:49:10 |
| bagira | any content is better than none to avoid these situations | 20:49:15 |
| erig | *been | 20:49:15 |
| erig | Could do a virtual one. | 20:49:35 |
| bagira | that would work | 20:49:48 |
| bagira | so the way i see it, if i ramp up ohlug.org to be a unifying bridge between all these dying or dead ohio lugs, it can only benefit all: some will see it as competition and ramp up their own activity to stay moving, others will stay dead and the gap they left gets filled | 20:50:40 |
| erig | Quite possibly. I have no idea if the other big city LUGs are active. | 20:52:09 |
| erig | OSUOSC also exists, but I have no idea how that works since it has ties to the school. | 20:53:52 |
| bagira | the ones that revive i'll create a cname for their city / region as a subdomain that redirects to their website | 20:56:10 |
| bagira | what is osuosc all about | 21:06:19 |
| bagira | oh their open source club | 21:06:36 |
| bagira | that's cool | 21:06:38 |
| erig | bagira: The IRC channel is semi active. | 21:07:36 |
| bagira | they've got RMS right up on the cover photo, that is awesome | 21:08:07 |
| bagira | represent! | 21:08:14 |
| meinwald | osuosc meets regularly (of course virtually now). They are a student org out of OSU but they're fine with the public attending or presenting at meetings. They haven't historically dove into code, worked on FOSS projects though, if that's the direction you're aiming for with OHLUG. I don't think too many LUGs do though, there's often a lot more focus on using FOSS and helping out beginners | 23:07:08 |
