Perhaps that would be a good alliance of sorts to setup then. I'm not quite sure how bridging the distance gap between Baltimore and DC will work. You bring up an interesting idea. Perhaps rather than trying to consolidate the two different geopgraphic areas I should pursue establishing a Baltimore group and work closely with DC-Sage group, and then perhaps we could even have a joint meeting a few times a year once the LOPSA group has been established.
I actually looked at the DC-Sage website earlier and it appears as though it hasn't been updated in quite some time. I believe according to the page their next meeting is scheduled for April of 2004! I take it they still actively meet though despite the outdated webpage? If you could put me in touch with the guys over at DC-Sage that would be great.
