It is important to remember that the instant a loosly coaleced entity
begins to organize, it becomes less flexible. The beauty of open source
is that it is infinetly flexible.

What I think is a much better idea would be for individuals whom have an
interest in a particular function that KCLUG doesn't perform now that
could be promoted through the LUG mailing list to go ahead and persue
that but at additional times. We could see if the library would be
willing to give us additional time for teaching linux classes or "newbie
nights". I don't think would should try to change what we're doing now
because it seems to serve it's purpose rather well: connecting Linux people.

I would be willing to teach some classes and I have access to LCD
projectors.
