Do you think it is possible for you all to agree and define the AIM of ALUG and the PURPOSE of the aim.
What do you want Alugs aim to be? and what is the purpose? You are a member, so if you ask the question you should be able to provide the answer, if you can't then how/why should any of the rest of us be able to?
In April 1999, I wrote:
The main aim of this group is to provide a physical Linux community for this region.

*shrug* it exists ;) it does stuff. I think perhaps if people want it to do more then we need them to try and manage it and tell people what they want them to do.
I guess that part of the problem is that people see Alug as an entity with a controller, the closest we have to that is me, MJ Ray and BigJohn as we do mailing list admin and have IRC ops, to certain degree others have some control due to providing hosting, domain names and mailing lists etc. Anyhow, of these people none of us want to act as a controller as such we just do it because if we didn't who would? What we really want is other people to step in and fill the gaps in the group, and what we really want is somebody to setup the talks/teaching groups etc. etc. and tell the people who are capable of giving them what to do and when?
