Hey Digital Gunslinger,
I need some ideas on how to fairly give away the copy of Windows 7 Professional that our Microsoft Sponsorship has netted us. Here are my thoughts:
- Only active attendees of the meetings should be considered (at least one visit in the last month)
- The giveaway should be done sometime soon, like, end-of-June, start-of-July-ish
- Someone with a serious need should be considered before someone who doesn't
Also, I wanted to make clear the details of the sponsorship: you get a monthly newsletter from Microsoft, they give us $200 that we can use in the group plus a copy of Windows 7 Pro to give away. I was thinking either a better digital video recorder to record the meetings to post online to benefit those who might not be able to attend each week or to recap whatever we covered, a sizable donation to a charity, or a new projector bulb for Dale since he's been lending us his projector.
Next week, Sean MacReady will be teaching
$1 101 - What the Heck is Social Media?. Sean is a very dynamic speaker and I think we will be seeing more of him in the Digital Gunslinger community.
Feel free to write back with any ideas you might have and thanks for being a Digital Gunslinger! :-D
