New User Retention

,----[ Quote ]
| We need some inter-community collaboration. Can we get everyone, regardless 
| of distro or desktop environment, to agree that new users are a good thing 
| and that we should be encouraging them? Can we get people to do that online, 
| when itâs so much easier than in person to be a jerk without the pesky 
| conscience getting in the way? Itâs necessary in order to grow the greater 
| Free Software user community.

Spice up your LUG!

,----[ Quote ]
| Finally, there's no reason why your LUG can't embrace the social networking
| revolution, and create a community on one of the many social networking
| sites. This has the advantage of being more media rich than traditional
| communication channels, and is usually more pervasive and immediate, with
| people keeping in touch on their mobile phones, for instance. This is worth
| looking at if the average age of your membership is on the lower side, as
| older folks seem to have an in-built cynicism towards the benefits of social
| networking. But whichever strategies you do take, the most important part
| about being online is that the website is kept up to date. Without that, it's
| worthless.
