[volunteers] On hamburgers - merged

[Paul Reiber]

My thoughts:

- First, I'm glad you wrote this - it needed to be said.

- I know everyone involved well enough to know we've all got good
hearts and good intentions.  We do tend to disagree on the
implementation details, though.

- it's good to know linuxpicnic.org is getting content pulled forward
from whatever other sources.  There was a LOT of good content out
there regarding the picnic, so I hope most of it makes it there.

- I think ALL of this needs to move to a picnic mailinglist - hosted
wherever it may be - ASAP.  Regarding my own personal enrollment on
that list - that's great, sign me up - paul at reiber.org - ...but what
about the dozens of others who've been dropped over the years?  Can we
ressurect the mailinglists from linux10 as well?

- I think it would sooth more than just a few ruffled feathers if some
LUG somewhere was designated as NEXT summer's linux picnic
coordinator. (after agreeing to it, of course)

- I agree that isolationism is part of the problem.  Once there's a
new mailinglist it'd be great to see announcement messages hitting the
various LUGS.

- So long as the picnic proceeds much as it has in past years, (or
more smoothly, even) I can assure you you'll have SVLUG's support.

- I agree that we should all be treating each other with grace, and
that we should remain optimistic about all of this.

- I'm honored to be surrounded by such fine company, both at the
picnic and at SVLUG events... and I'm honored to have you as a friend.
 Let's make sure that nothing changes that.

Best regards,
-Paul
