Event Announcement: New SIG Proposal

I would like to propose a new Ad-hoc Technical Special Interest Group (Adhoc SIG) that will exist only when needed- on a short-term basis- to address single, focused technical issues brought up by  AAUG members.

This would be an informal group that can meet whenever, wherever it works for those participating. The attendees would be whomever has an interest or comment on whatever the particular issue, and the focus would be on hammering out a solutions and/or kicking around ideas for a particular technical issue

This is a BETA attempt at this "group".  It will only be active when someone has an issue they want to discuss, and a meeting will only happen if there are at least two people that want to meet.  I am volunteering to help organize this SIG, send out notices etc., although depending on the topic, I may not attend meetings.  If this sounds like a good idea, we will get an Adhoc SIG mailing list setup. Initial announcements will be in this newsletter, with detailed emails coming to the Adhoc SIG mailing group.

If you are interested, please email me.

Thanks,
Becky Strauch,  rebecca.strauch@alaska.gov.
