Closing Down My Local CFUG
This is a bit of a sad announcement, but I have to shut down my local (Tulsa, OK) CFUG today. Since my kids were born last January, the attention that I have given to the group has really suffered. In truth, I probably never put enough effort to it.
In any event, attendance hasn't been good for several months and I haven't made the time and effort to really change things enough. I think if I were going to really turn things around, I would have done so already.
Even so, the group has been around for seven years so I don't consider it a total failure. When I moved to Tulsa in 2002, it didn't have an active group and I resolved to make sure that I did. I hoped to find someone else to run it, but others were too busy. This was, as it turned out, quite a blessing.
I often think of running a weekly online group, but never find the time to commit myself to it.
I'm thinking more along the lines of a informal chat session where everyone has microphones and it's an open mic night.
I don't think online meeting can compete with meeting in person. Even so, I would be interested in trying out a group like that if it ever gets going.
I would be happy to help with it as well, of course.
