Wouldn't topics like "setting up a FOSS phone system", or "hacking a router to read file system X" be a CLUG topic? Wouldn't a business support group want to step away from "the right OS" to topics like Accounting, Marketing, management, ethics, human resources, etc? My thoughts are that the technical issues have a wider appeal than just business interests, so are better suited as CLUG topics. However, something like "Accounting 101 with SQL-Ledger" would be bang on, as this is not really a technical topic. (that and I *really* need to get a better handle on my books.. grins) Of course, there will be some topics that fit both roles. But if we want to see how Linux/FOSS relates to business, then these topics can be rolled up within CLUG's mandate. My thoughts, not yours...
