[Talk] society of linux professionals (WA)

[Steve Jenkin]

I've only just come across a mention of this group.
Google shows their website and that they are known to AUUG. [and no other=
=20
groups outside WA]  $100/yr membership.

It's a real shame that they didnt see AUUG as a viable voice for them.
Is this a specific enough niche to be a SIG of AUUG [not in WA, but=20
elsewhere]??=20

What do others think??
Setting up viable, active and vibrant groups is no easy matter... BUT, ho=
w do=20
we answer "where do you 'up' from a Linux Users Group"?

cheers
