I'd say that NSLU issues would fall under normal CLUG.... either way - seems to me that the next step is to set up a separate mailing list for "business" issues.
My 2 cents,

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...
