John and I had a great conversation on Friday and one of the topics that
came up is what exactly we would want out of a club. We agreed that too
much structure can be detrimental as people get sucked up into the
structure aspects instead of the reason for the club, which is to have
fun. PNLTC seems to have about the right amount of structure
The guys John will (and I hope to, but can't commit yet) meet with are
very informal. They're basically friends. So us joining in may or may
not work.
If we form a club we also have to tackle what is our mission, and is it
MPLS or MN only, or if larger, how do we do anything effectively in a
remote manner. PNLTC has some geographic distance but not as much as we
might.
