Not saying I wouldn't like to see the Ubuntu SIG discussed, but I can see the fear of there being a rush to form new SIGs be a barrier for it. Obviously (in my mind) one of the requirements would be people willing to commit the time and energy towards getting it started, perhaps 3 "SIG/Chapter Officers" at minimum using what I've seen from the PySIG leadership (seems to be 3-4 people doing most of the work). Formalized, this would pre-filter requests that don't have sufficient member support to be workable as a group. This turns it into primarily bottom-up organizing, "what are people interested in doing", rather than top-down "what we think would be a good idea to form". Also, SIGs/Chapters could be started as independent groups who then request to become part of GNHLUG after they've successfully formed, have 3 officers already active, and have had a few successful meetings.
