  There's no formal requirement.  All a coordinator has to do is
coordinate things.  All that really means is:

* Make a list of things that need to happen
* Make sure they happen

  If you can find volunteers to delegate everything to, you don't
actually have to *do* anything.

  Typical things that have to happen are:

* Come up with event ideas
* Schedule a venue
* Publicize the event (post to gnhlug-announce and on www.gnhlug.org;
maybe community calendars and such too)
* Herd cats at the actual event (e.g., make sure things get underway
and people like me shut-up when they should)

  "Event ideas" for GNHLUG has often revolved around "finding
speakers", but it doesn't have to be that way.  "Let's all get
together and see if we can figure out $WHATEVER" can work, too.  It
doesn't have to be a formal presentation.  Not at all.  LUGs are
groups of users.  Getting together in a group to work on using stuff
should count.

  Sounds like a great meeting idea to me!  You're halfway there already!
