Apologies for late-response (not that any other has been noted). Have 
been ill (for too long).


Are meetings well-advertised?

Are the group's aims well-articulated, and implemented?

Is the group really an attempt to hold a synchronous, but distributed, 
hack-a-thon?

Is there more to FLOunder than Mobian/mobile phones?

Is the lack of (perceived) interest a FLOunder problem, or a 
common-issue for voluntary-organisations in today's new world?
(see also original rationale for FLOunder 'rising' from moribund Linux 
groups)


Am happy to continue supporting with infrastructure, but busy-life 
necessitates planning-ahead, juggling opportunity, ...

I don't mention all of them on LUV and Linux Australia, but I've mentioned 
some of them on those lists and people who are interested can have joined the 
list.

That's one of the things I want to do.

Yes, the stuff we did in all the meetings you attended!

Not sure really.
