Agreed, but I think the opportunity available is that Sue Smith would like to push Linux more within Clickers, not that Clickers wants us to become a SIG within their organization. At the last meeting, Choppy, Sue and me spoke for a few minutes about helping them start a Linux SIG. She said that more and more people are asking about Linux and want to know more about Linux. I volunteered to help.
What Sue Smith and Choppy asked for is simple: Clickers wants to know more about Linux and they need our help and expertise. I agree completely that BRLUG stay a separate organization, but I also think a Clickers Linux SIG would only be a good thing. Let's help em out.

The idea of BRLUG becoming a SIG within Clickers has been suggested before. However, I do not see any advantage to becoming a SIG. In addition, members would then have to pay Clickers dues. No worries--BRLUG will remain separate.
