INTERNET TRAINING
On convenient weekends we will have workshops teaching the various Internet programs used for FOGBEE activities. The sessions will be at my home with a 100” projection system and WiFi access. I suggest they be on Saturday morning from 9AM to 11AM (ONLY when we can't ride outside) otherwise each session will be offered based on the schedule of those who register and my availability. (See comments below). The goal is for this workshop to be a “hands-on” training with your laptop computers. The specific topics depend on who commits to attend by completing this questionnaire and what s/he want to learn.

Scheduling
Saturday scheduling was suggested because that is the most likely time to be able to get everyone together. Most of us block out "Saturday" anticipating a ride. Evenings are far more problematic due to jobs and other commitments. The plan is not to replace cycling with these sessions. However, keep in mind as the weather gets colder, we normally delay start times to the warmer part of the day making the 9AM to 11AM feasible even when we choose to ride.
I think the best solution is to keep our options open. We will always assume a RIDE on Saturday. If on Friday evening, the outlook for Saturday looks bad, we will substitute these sessions. I will notify registrants either by a Blog posting or a phone call.
Once everyone who is interested signs up, I will issue a list of attendees with the sessions they plan to attend. Based on that list, members of each group can decide if they want or are able to have a non-Saturday meet.
