Subject: Nonprofit Sysadmin Meetup
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2015 23:06:40 -0400

You are getting this because you expressed some interest in
participating in a nonprofit sysadmin group. I have taken
approximately forever to actually put the group together, because

(a) I am lazy

(b) I have been dreading trying to schedule a time that works for
everybody, because there is no time that will work for everybody and
I will feel awful for leaving people out.

Nonetheless, here we go. I have finally put together two resources:

- A Doodle so we can try and choose an initial meeting. I arbitarily
chose the second week of May for our first meeting, and listed the
weekdays I could be personally available.

The Doodle link is here: http://doodle.com/t2dedckyctx9gztc

Please vote and indicate your availability. If you would like to
comment on the choices or indicate that there is something special
about your vote, then please email me personally.

- A mailing list called nps@theworkingcentre.org . NPS stands for
"Nonprofit Sysadmins".

To subscribe, either email me with the address to use for
subscription or send an email to:

imailsrv@theworkingcentre.org
with the following in the BODY of the message

Subscribe nps "<full name>"

eg

Subscribe nps "Paul Nijjar"

There is nothing special about this mailing list. We can change the
name to something more clever or host it somewhere else.

This is a discussion list, so any subscriber can post (but non-list
members cannot).

For now I am only inviting people who expressed interest in
participating, but if you know of specific people who would be
interested, feel free to invite them. Let's hold off on blasting this
invitation to other mailing lists (eg KWLUG, Watcamp) until we have a
first meeting date finalized, however.

I am intending to hold the initial meeting at the main Working Centre
building (58 Queen Street South, Kitchener) but I personally would be
fine if somebody else wanted to run with this.

For the first meeting, we can do introductions, touch on some of the
problems we are dealing with as nonprofit sysadmins, figure out how
often/when we want to meet, and figure out what our meeting formats
should be (informal? structured with presentations? workshop-based?).

=== Meeting Announcement ===

From: Paul Nijjar

Subject: Nonprofit Sysadmin Meeting: Monday, May 11, 7pm
Date: Thu, 7 May 2015 00:22:17 -0400

Hi everybody,

As I feared, I am going to make some people unhappy with the
scheduling of the inaugural meeting. I had to choose between Friday,
May 15 (which would have made Brian unhappy) and Monday, May 11
(which will make Steve and Brendan each half-unhappy), so I am
reluctantly choosing the Monday in the hopes that everybody who filled
out the Doodle will be able to attend. At the meeting we can figure
out whether we want to keep on meeting Mondays, or move the meeting to
some other day, or meet irregularly, or what.

Steve and Brendan: will you be able to make the Monday? It would be
really good for you to participate (especially Brendan, since we kind
of made this group with him in mind).

We will meet at 7pm at the main Working Centre building:

58 Queen Street South
Kitchener

We will be meeting in the front room.

I have no idea about where you should park, if you need car parking.
There is a surface lot off of Ontario Street which seems to be the
best price. Maybe the drivers in the group can help advise us on
parking situations nearby during the first meeting.

During the first meeting I figure we can introduce ourselves, work out
the logistics, and introduce some of the things that are challenging
us in our sysadmin work.

- Paul
