[Cu-wireless] proposals updated

[Ralph Johnson]

	* Move the General Meeting to Tuesdays. Good idea or bad? Although not
	  everyone can make Tuesdays, not everyone can make Sunday's either, can
	  more of us make Tuesdays than Sundays? If you think Tuesdays are a bad
	  idea please list all the days you think would be better.

I could meet Tuesday evening about 3/4 of the time, while it looks
like at least 9/10ths of the time I can't make Sunday (since I have
not been able to make it yet).  5:30 is early for me, I'll probably
come at 6 or 6:30 and skip the meal.

	* Move the General Meeting nominally to Zach's House, with change of
	  venue possible based on other people's offers to host or based on
	  seminar topics and needs for space to accomodate seminar topics or
	  based on field trip to see other wireless installations. Zach
	  volunteers to coordinate the organization of the general
	  meetings. Good idea or bad? If you think this is a bad idea please
	  suggest an alternative plan for organizing and locating the general
	  meetings.

As long as the group is small then it is OK to meet in a home.
When it gets larger then we should meet in a bigger space.  The
Champaign library has a good meeting room.  Perhaps the Urbana
library has one, too.  It seems to be closer for most of you.

	* General Meetings will always have food. Either potluck, cooked by
	  the host, or ordered and paid for by the meeting attendees, or a
	  combination thereof. Good idea or bad?

Food is good, even if I can't have any.

	* General Meeting will consist of a 30 minute report back from
	  Affinity Groups and a new member orientation followed by a
	  seminar/lecture/hands on demonstration of some technology or skill
	  useful for building wireless networks. Good idea or bad? 

Some of the larger wireless community groups have started to split the
new member orientation from the reports and discussion.  But it is 
probably fine for now.

	* Encourage the formation of Affinity Groups using the General Meeting
	  and the website as a central organizational point for these groups
	  to get themselves together and to interact. All affinity groups and
	  their meeting schedules will be announced at the general meetings,
	  and posted at the IMC and on the website.

Sure.  This is obvious.  The only problem is organizing the groups.
