Ideas for things we can do in Linux club.
- Workshops, talks, projects, etc.
- People to reach out to for talks/workshops
<blockquote>
We will need surveys and/or to talk with several members about their ideas and what they want out of the club. My survey failed last time, maybe directly reaching out to people who chat in the Discord would be better. To survive purely off lecture-y (mostly one person speaking, with questions) talks and workshops would require consistent high-quality presentations, novel and interesting topics, and notable special guests. This is an acceptable target and path forward for the club, from my understanding this is most of what Cybersecurity Club does, and it is great.
Projects are great if there are people interested in working on them. “Linux Club” does not sound like and probably shouldn't be a purely-project-focused club. If we want to shift a bit in that direction, we should focus on a few specific projects, and mention them in advertising materials so some members will be joining with the desire to work on them. I think the ideal would be that most projects can eventually be considered “finished” (even if more could be added, at least have an accomplishable version of the goal; perhaps with a little ongoing maintenance), and that they could be finished within a semester or year.
