I agree. This is a fabulous idea.

Over the past 18 months I have dealt with nearly all the LUGs
in some way, shape or form for the lugroundup and Open Source
on the Air".

Like Ben pointed out there is a huge benefit to sharing ideas,
expertise etc. I have been privy to some brilliant ideas for many
different events, such as installfests, Software Freedom Day,
Meeting ideas and just plain ways to get the word out there.

Ben, this is a brilliant kernel of an idea.

Cherio,
Karin
