What could be more vague than VAGUE? Calling it VAG*E . . . but then it
wouldn't be VAGUE anymore.

Seriously though, I agree with Tony . . . I'm happy that there's a group
here for all that FOSS *nix stuff, even though I've only made it to a few
meetings.

 I would suggest that changing the focus of the group from Unix (or better:
*nix) enthusiasts to essentially technology enthusiasts would produce a
totally different group than what we have.  I don't often make VAGUE
meetings, I confess, but I have tended to see the group as one that is
focused on Linux/Unix/BSD/etc.-based FOSS, including a wide range of topics
from system administration, programming, and user standpoints.  I think
there's a real need for having such a group, and I feel it would be a shame
if VAGUE became so vaguely defined, so to speak, that it lost its focus on
FOSS advocacy.  Perhaps if there's enough desire for such a wider group, it
might be worth starting another one, and letting VAGUE stay with the more
*nix/FOSS hacker focus.

My two cents.
