Simon,

good points,

u raise a few issues like LUG has no funding and is run by volunteers,
a few suggestions, you can have varying membership levels from Ug. Shs 500
upwards
You can use sms to collect the subscriptions, reducing your operational
costs

LUG should in the near future transform to a Non Profit, Professional
association, et al

once its registered, it can act as a lobby (promoting OSS). Of course if u
register it, without a good business plan, then it will follow similar
initiatives that have gone under water like Uganda Computer (Ne Dagala
something - cant remember)

i think u left out many things, in your comments, but allow me to highlight
only one.

The mailing list continued to behave normally (problems with delivered
mails, subscription, or posts not going thru)

i made a few predictions for 2010, and am surprised the year has ended
without giving me any warning, for the year 2011, i will not make any
predictions.

i will only prepare a list of challenges for LUG to emerge from its present
state of a " paper tiger" to a real "tiger"
