I live 2 blocks from the Back Bay, but I vote for Tom to be the group manager for LinkedIn BBLISA. If he's willing to do that for us.

I hadn't looked at the directory of groups before, but I see there is a note saying they aren't currently accepting new groups into the directory. But that doesn't impact the ability to create a new group. It wouldn't surprise me if they charge a fee for inclusion in the directory. > However, I don't see anything in the creation screen that would rule out > BBLISA. Correct. BBLISA should qualify fine. I recently created groups for BLU and Boston Perl Mongers. Setting up the group just takes a few minutes to fill in the title, description, and an email address for group join requests. The most difficult step might be digging up a logo with the required dimensions. You can optionally upload a list of member email addresses so that they'll be pre-approved when they try to join, otherwise the group manager gets an email when someone requests admission. (Fir simplicity and privacy reasons we chose to do the latter for the above two groups.) -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
