Weekly Chat For Educational Purposes
« on: January 19, 2008, 10:50:38 AM »
I hereby propose using the chatroom as a weekly get-together spot for educational purposes..

Each week have a topic that someone here is GOOD with, and let that person share their interest/insight/how-to.  That way we can all learn something new.

Anyone?  Bueller?

Good idea. What time would be a good time for everyone before we schedule?

I'm thinking evenings, probably around 6pm or so, depending on what day we decide.

Ron, please get with me about possibly going ahead and getting this on the road.  I'd like to get a schedule together for this. :)

Here's an idea, and if anyone has suggestions, I'm open for them :)

Weather Trivia - Each night at 6pm
"class" times will vary dependant upon the instructor's schedule.  Every class will be posted here a week in advance, with instructor's name and topic.  Please be on time, thanks. ;)

LOL yeah, life does that to ya haha. But I think we really need this thing, so newcomers can learn from the experienced w/out posting needless questions in serious topics like I used to. Questions are good, but asking the same ones over and over and over again will only draw criticism.

AND A LOT CAN CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
