Sounds like a good idea to me. Doing something as a CLUG special interest group, at least at the start, wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. It would at least give the group a starting point -- a 'kernel', if you will ;O) This could especially be a good way for young people like myself to learn a bit about the finer points of running a business, be it consulting or otherwise. Even though I'm not in the IT industry at a professional level, the concepts and practises are generally the same (within a margin of error) wherever you go.
