It's kind of like the Linux kernel. Sure, Linus controls it, but if he starts doing things to it that other people object to, his power will begin to fade. (finger @finger.kernel.org) Kind of like me. If I start doing things to the TCLUG that people don't like, people will stop showing up to meetings and will probably start their own LUG. That's why I try to keep from over-managing the LUG. "For the people, by the people." I have no intention to do anything with the TCLUG. Partially because I'm really lazy, but mainly because I don't see a need. I have yet to hear complaints about how the group is run or managed, so why fix what isn't broken. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying that the TCLUG can't improve. But I don't think we need to change how the group is run/managed. If you are interested in starting a TCLUG SIG, feel free. You can let me know when/where you plan on meeting and I will put it on the webpage. And if the TCPC wants to start a Linux SIG, they are more than welcome to. But in my mind they will be different enough that is doesn't make sense to combine them. But again, this is not my LUG. If I hear enough interest in it I will create a new "webpoll" and we can see what "you the people" want. -- Clay
