Well if it's that hard to maintain a non-profit how does the San Diego LUG,
and the Portland and Seattle LUGS manage?
How does Heatsync labs do it? It is EASY! Why would we, who can read any

I'm a lurker on Plug so my vote counts for nothing.. but here is my 2 cents
worth.
Non profit status means that companies can help this group by providing
server space, hosting, and other items and receive a tax write off for
doing so. While setting one up does take some knowledge I know of

I cannot answer that. We are a different group and maybe what is

The need to be a non-profit, and not being one, has bit us in the ass
in the past.
this should be done now as there is no pressing need - when the need
occurs is not when you want to be starting this.
There are some initial costs (fees) just becoming a state recognized
organization, getting a

I think I need to start attending the meetings. We are not going to

There are ongoing costs to being a non-profit. You do have to file taxes
every year. I believe in the past that was not so if you were not having
a certain amount of funds running through your accounts. Additionally,
the board, or officers, are responsible for the accuracy of those taxes
and
Plug is a wonderful group just the way it is, and the installfests are
great.
Please don't change a thing.
It serves no useful purpose to criticize the way the current plug and
installfests work.

better as a non-profit (or in

Plug is great for those that like PLUG! I would never discourage current
members from attending. Others are seeking another option and will find it:
outside PLUG.

Did you just click on this message hoping that you could possibly get an
idea of what that funny Stammtisch word meant? Well...
Wikipedia describes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stammtisch a

Not sure but that is a separate group from LUG.
While Ubuntu or Canonical people might attend LUG meetings and be members
of both groups, the LUG is really not usually affiliated with LoCo. I know
it is a little confusing because the Phoenix group has let the LoCo be a
part of most, if not all,
Just to add my two cents to the non-profit discussion. I set up a 501c3
corporation over 10 years ago for my daughters' club softball teams. I was
the head coach and president of the corporation. I had a lawyer help with

IRS,
I see no reason to incorporate PLUG. However, good arguments were put
forward for a non-profit Linux Users Group, especially for more
professional Linux users.
Given the arguments Lisa put forward I'd say it makes sense to widen
to scope to Unix. It would also make sense to narrow the scope from
Great info Mark. I am sure the new Maricopa Pinal GNU Linux users group
