I love you like a brother, but apparently either a lot of people disagree
with you, or they do not agree with you enough to step forward in a general
way. Specific projects get specific people interested in them. When the hype
matches the inertia, people step forward. When hype generation becomes too
painful and no one has stepped forward, project becomes single-person or ends.
> but we don't have quarterly meetings anywhere but Nashua now
But do only "Nashua" people come to the quarterly meetings? And has the person
setting up the quarterly meetings put forth the effort to have them anyplace
but Nashua? I don't know, I am asking the question.
I am in the process of setting up a quarterly meeting, and I intend on having
it in Boston, jointly with BLU and WLUG, at the USENIX conference.
> What benefit does GNHLUG offer CentraLUG and SLUG? (someone chime in here)
Local Groups - local speakers, local meetings, "helping hands" in their
small community without having to travel too much
Umbrella Group - "larger" speakers, idea sharing, communication of problem
solving, larger (statewide) projects

I have been around for ten years on this. And for ten years the answer has
been the same every time:
Don't want big organization.....just monthly meetings of good topics.
