If we do have a committee, it will take some thick-skinned and determined folk on that committee to keep it running right. Organising geeks is like herding cats (apologies to whoever I stole that line off). We all think we are bright enough to think we know better and we will all have differeent ideas n direction and emphasis of anything we choose to do.
I agree. Trying to over-organise the lug is folly, but trying to expand the range of activities we do has merit.
That doesnt mean we shouldnt have sub-groups ( I hesitate to call them committees) for those interested in advocacy or Installdays or whatever.
I'd like to hear a list of suggestions for sub-groups if anyone has any thoughts.
Special Interest Group is probably a better term :) Install Days and similar events are definitely a good idea, but organising them can be a bitch. Perhaps linking with (semi-)professional LAN party organisers would be useful there, and could provide an interesting cross-pollination of membership and advocacy - increases awareness of Linux, Open Source, the LUG, etc and provides a platform for a LAN party co to advertise, and possibly pimp their own open source position if they have one.
