Christian says: "it makes sense to have the groups link on every page to help people extend this LoCo to their local Linux Groups." Why does that make sense? The LoCo isn't a social club, and I think it would be a huge mistake to try and transform LUGs into Ubuntu advocacy groups. We're here to convince people to use Ubuntu. That's a huge contrast with what LUGs tend to be, which is one of the endless variations that can be found in a group of people who use Linux and meet regularly. I agree with Neal that the LoCo page is a tool for the LoCo to focus our efforts. I've said it before: there needs to be a far better answer to finding LUGs than currently exists, and I really wish the energy that is being focused at misusing one of the LoCo's pages would be directed towards creating a solution to the problem of how to find a local LUG or contributing to the existing resources that Grant claims exists (in opposition to my claim that I've yet to see a current maintained list). I would support a link to such a resource from our wiki pages in a flash--although probably not across each and every single page. I jumped at the chance to be a distribution point for Bay Area LUG fliers at OSCON. But the way the Group project subpage is being promoted--to the exclusion of its parent page which Grant keeps unlinking--really baffles me. -- Nathan Haines Ubuntu California Local Community Team -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
