If you have a problem with the steering committee, take it up with them. If you don't feel they have addressed the issue, sure, bring it to the membership, but do so with facts, not with pointless accusations of good ole boy networking, conflicts of interest, and poor business skills.

I really, really do not appreciate TriLUG steering committee electing to remove my link from the web site as a sponsor after I opened up my house to host the weekly meetings for the TriLUG RHCE class for nearly a year until my second child was born. The previous year, I donated a couple of hundred dollars to TriLUG to sponsor pizza for a meeting.
Most recently, I offered to donate another couple of hundred dollars to sponsor pizza for another meeting and moderate a panel discussion to compare and contrast distributions. Thanks a lot for stealing my idea, running with it and not even inviting me to particpate.
TriLUG steering committee needs to answer to the membership for their collective actions or publicly admit a little good ole boy network going on with competitors and conflict of interest.
Perhaps folks need to polish their business skills if they expect to build relationships instead of break them. Meanwhile, I'm holding on to my wallet and donating my hard earned money elsewhere.
Very truly I am
