As an update, it seems as though I've been receiving chicago-lisp emails regularly since that complaint of mine. Perhaps there was some MTA issue that has since been resolved.
I propose that we set up a IRC channel, (probably #chicago-lisp on freenet), and have IRC meetings at the same time as the code sprints.
I'm sitting in #cl ('chicago lisp') @ irc.oftc.net, as per our homepage:
I personally like oftc better, mostly for technical reasons such as their provision of SSL IRC. I also think the board that operates the network is better run. If there's interest in moving to freenode, that's totally cool by me, though.
The idea would be to log in from the code sprint if you can make it, or just log in from home if your lazy.
Sounds like a good idea, though I do very strongly recommend we try to meet physically when possible. It provides a much greater sense of community.
Also, I like the idea of makeing the code sprints the focal point for the lisp get togethers (especially since I can rarely make saturdays). I'd propose that we make the code sprint/irc meetings the "get together time", and just do the LUG when we have a actual presentation?
I agree. We're a programming group, not a talk show, so it stands to reason that our primary activity should be programming.
