Setting common rules about weather cancels of KCLUG events.

[Phil Thayer]

I am really concerned about trying to have this meeting tonight here at
our office.  I don't think it is worth everyone risking themselves to
try and come to a meeting that is not a regularly scheduled meeting.
Since we cannot tell what will happen this afternoon I think it is just
better all around to postpone the trial run meeting at Vital Support
Systems to another day.  Let me know what everyone thinks.

	I think the prudent thing to do is see what happens tonight and
whether our office will even be open tomorrow.  If it is and I am able
to get to work then I see no reason why we cannot have our meeting in
the evening.  However, if the office is closed or I am not able to get
to work then I think since it is a trial run meeting we should call it
off.  I will send an email out as soon as I know something tomorrow and
let people know.  I will send it to the email list and post it on the
Forum.  That should cover everyone.

		Exactly.  The only time we've ever cancelled a meeting
was because the Library was closed.  
		
		This does raise an issue for impending test meeting.  If
our hosts be of the mind that the weather doth well and truly suck, how
do we find out? The Library is the sort of institution that notifies the
TV/radio stations, so they appear on lists of closings.  Rather than
fielding calls from a dozen or three geeks, I'd expect them to want to
do something similar. 
		
		And given our proclivities, I'd expect we'd give Vital
Systems' management a special login for kclug.org that allows them to
flag that night's meeting as cancelled due to weather, terrorist threat,
etc. without having to locate whoever has the keys to the Executive
Washroom. 
		
		Definitely something to think about.
