For the first time, I failed to bring that up again in the SIG meeting! Ha 🙂

Marc, please make sure you give us any feedback on signing up for a SIG. It would be nice to get a user experience perspective.

Tom, keep on keepin’ on – you’ll find a way to communicate to the community without breaking any NDA.

Marc,

I can certainly inquire about getting some RSS feeds set up on the SIG portals, we should make it easier for people to subscribe. We do have a mailing list, several actually. If there is a particular SIG you would be interested in joining just let me know. We also have the PASS Community Connector that goes out twice a month to a general mailing list and the Connector usually makes mention of some SIG events.

andy, you are correct, i can talk more about the SIGs and the events they are having as well as the challenges we face. and i will try to do so.

Why not share more of the details around the SIG’s to start with? What are the challenges? What things are you trying? Talk about how hard it is to change direction. Absolutely there are a few NDA things, but for me I’d like to hear more about what all the board members are doing.

I would love to learn how they compare attendance wise as compared to in person events such as chapter meetings. One suggest for the SIGs is at the very least get RSS feeds so that members can subscribe and get updates of when the next meeting is. Another thought is to have a mailing list that is easy for members to un/subscribe from the lists…maybe as part of the members PASSPort ? I always miss the events and find out about them after the fact.

Anyways, thanks for all your efforts and giving back to the community.

Marc
