question: will all the local LUGs recognize PLUG as the umbrella organization? the officers of PLUG and the other LUGs might want to meet up to discuss the organizational matters and maybe even medium-/long-term plans. the by-laws of the various groups might need to be modified...or will there just be one set of by-laws. hmmm, legal stuff. this could be done in parallel with organizing f/oss support groups. members of all the LUGs should do promotion work. i guess the meetings and events would be the minimum. sammy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
