USER GROUP SURVEY: GROUP COMMUNICATIONS QUESTION & HARDWARE ANSWERS
User group leadership doesn't just happen. It requires some effort on the
part of those who are in charge at every group, regardless of size. That
means communication of one type or another. This week, The MUG Center
Survey focuses on how that communication is conducted between the
individuals who lead their groups. How does the leadership of your group
communicate? Last week, we were trying to get a feel for the amount of
equipment that user groups use to conduct their affairs. It was no
surprise to find that 86% of the seventy-nine responses said they own an
LCD projector and 65% a PowerBook.
