[NBLUG/talk] I just posted about tonight's NBLUG meeting on NextDoor Santa Rosa

[Brad Morrison]

Hi all,

In the search for new members or just people interested in learning 
about open source software/Linux, I just posted about tonight's NBLUG 
meeting on NextDoor Santa Rosa.

I included a few links for the vast majority of my Santa Rosa neighbors 
who probably don't even know what Linux is or even open source software 
is and have likely not intentionally used/sought out any open source 
software. That got me thinking though - which Linux/OSS news sites do 
NBLUG members use most frequently? When you talk about Linux/OSS to 
someone who doesn't know/understand/use such technology, what resources 
do you refer them to?

This is my NextDoor post, for anyone that wants to like/comment on it 
and hopefully drive more attention to NBLUG:

As far as other promotional opportunities, I have thought that it might 
make sense to reach out to the only makerspace that I know of in Sonoma 
County, Chimera in Sebastopol: https://www.chimeraarts.org/

I have also briefly talked to Janeen Murray at Sonoma County Go Local 
Cooperative (https://sonomacounty.golocal.coop/) about looking into the 
potential uses of open source technology in locally based businesses, as 
the big tech giants are the exact opposite of a local business and open 
licensing allows local businesses to compete more effectively with 
larger corporations.

Thanks!

Brad
