AUUG is an organisation for UNIX professionals. Does a newbie

Yes, well, as much as LA does for a newbie *BSD user. You need to remember
that they have run installfests et al in the past... Why the hostility to
them now?

Hostility? Yikes dude, I'm wondering why you'd bother handling both when LA
seems to fit the bill already.

Sorry, I must have misinterpreted your tone...
Anyways, I see it as having more than one feeder group making a great 
event. If we can make it work with both of them, then it just makes for 
a better event...
AUUG has also been listed as more of a VC partner to spread the risk 
than a first class organizational entity as well.
