A *very* well thought out post which I agree with 100% - the Wellington LUG _has_ gone political which is why I no longer have anything to do with it and I'd hate to see the same thing happen to another LUG, remember that the key to any LUG is its USERS and it is these that it should be servicing rather than trying to 'convert' (for sake of a better word) the general public.
We are all Linux users by _choice_ and it's the choice that makes the key difference in my view.

Re: ClUG aims and objectives.

As I understand it the groups PRIME purpose is the sharing information supporting and help fellow Linux Users/Enthusiasts.

IE cooperatively learning about and supporting Linux users
this in my opinion has been the basis of most Linux
user groups I have observed.

It appears from this thread that Rik may feel that the purpose of the group
should be to promote Linux use to the general public rather than supporting
and sharing information as it's main goal?

If that is the case I suggest he may wish to consider staring a group or
promotional group with that sole purpose which is fine with me :-)

I have found the general tone of this thread offensive and unnecessary
and believe it is actually doing a disservice to the Linux Community.

Please stop this and take it to private email thanks
