[Imc-radio] a little disappointed in the radio meeting change(?) today

[Paul Riismandel]

I'm a little disappointed that the radio meeting today was mysteriously 
changed to an earlier time than advertised, without any notice to at 
least the IMC list. I understand that several people came by for the 
meeting after the time it actually happened, during a raging downpour.

I wasn't one of them, but we made an effort at last week's first public 
RFU meeting to really encourage people to attend imc-radio as a way to 
get started right away in radio production. It's kind of tough for them 
to get involved when the meeting they were promised doesn't exist.

I don't know if any of the new RFU people were amongst those who showed 
up for the non-meeting, but I will feel bad if they were, since I made 
the call and personal exhortation at the RFU meeting.

I understand that the radio group is tapped out, and I don't intend to 
heap more crap on y'all. However, if there is going to be any 
expectation that other interested people are going to find you and get 
involved, there has to be some regularly known scheduled meetings to 
the group can at least be accessible.  That is the minimum fundamental 
responsibility of every working group, and is in each group's best 
experience if you want to have a chance of not being tapped out.

Might I ask/recommend that the radio group really publicize their next 
meeting, and orient it towards new people. it would make sense to post 
it to the RFU list or ask me to forward it on.

Thanks,

Paul
