Maybe this illustrates some issues with the way AKLUG operates. These
various groups are unknown to each other. AKLUG needs to be open in its
operations, have elections etc. We should hash over all these ideas for
a while before scheduling a meeting, I think at least 30 days would give
everyone an opportunity for participation.
While I agree with Arthur about having more people doing more
responsibilities I don't think lack of participation should preclude
AKLUG from going forward with those who do want to serve AKLUG & the
Linux community.
