I'm pretty sure over the years there has been resistance to breaking out (for the regionals as well as for particular languages and technologies). I think it's a cycle... things come together, then they pull apart... it's ongoing. I don't think this particular idea has met any more resistance than any of the others in the past. I also don't feel strongly that we need to have a strong central point. Let ten thousand Code4Lib flowers bloom... Kevin
