I think Darren Tracey (Bris CFUG mgr) covered this in a post a couple of
days ago.

mate, it comes down to commitment, time, organisation. more of bums on
seats, more of people willing to put their hand up to help, etc.

I see it at my kids schools with parent support groups - the same few
good natured souls carrying the can for many.

Ever heard of Fred Hollows? He had an amazing knack to get things
happening - cutting thru the BS - but he was just one guy. 9 times out
of 10 all it took to get programs going in Eretria or Redfern was people
willing to get off their backsides.

"ask not what your CFUG can do for you but what you can do for your
CFUG" 

ever thought of setting up a West Syd CFUG, based in Paramatta? it
sounds like it's needed...

This really shows the state CFUG's in Australia.

Personally, I have not been to a meeting; When living in Sydney, I
could never make it to Glebe in time as I worked in Parramatta and
lived out in the suburbs.

Perhaps something more (but what?) could be done to raise ColdFusion
awareness...
