[kwlug-disc] Trying out some additional material on past meeting pages...

Sun Sep 15 16:50:17 EDT 2013

Just a little update:

- I finished embedding the remain videos that have been uploaded to 
YouTube. I will see about adding the remainder when I can.
- added the meeting notes for the most recent meetings, back to the 
beginning of the year-ish. These aren't too pretty, but I hope to 
improve the formatting for future meetings.

Next-ish I will try getting Bob's dents into the ZFS/BTRFS meeting.

Other things that I am thinking about:
- add a block for links to other locations (google+, linkined, mailing 
list, twitter, etc.)
- do an SEO review of the site, to make sure that it is findable

And a question: does anyone blog on kwlug.org? I am wondering if it 
might make sense to remove the functionality and instead aggregate 
members FLOSS related blogs.

Update.

Agreed and duplication is bad, and automated as much as possible is best.

But does our own website count as YAPU? I would think it should be the 
hub for any meeting, and should link out to related resources? (e.g., 
videos which we don't want to host ourselves or presenters 
websites/resources)

)
