I was hoping you guys would reconsider. I made my thoughts about this known at the meeting, and stand by them. When I started the progsig group, it was my intent to have no costs for potential members, and to focus on the needs of our members. It was not my intent to make the group a money raising organization, or to dictate what skills any potential member needed before they joined the group.
It's late, and I'd better not say much more until my brain is fully operational (I'm getting tired). But, while I will respect your choice, I will NOT be forking over $50, and I doubt I'll be attending any more meetings if this proceeds (I'm still holding onto a glimmer of hope, probably foolishly...) Finally, you should be finding a different name for your group - ProgSig belongs to us (CLUG), and seeing as the new group would not be affiliated with CLUG, we can probably argue a copyright to the name.
